Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The reversible grates are fantastic for tailoring sear marks.
  • Cons: At 178kg, it's a hefty unit needing a sturdy counter.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Dog Inn, a popular seaside pub in Whitby, needed to upgrade their grill to cope with the massive influx of summer tourists. Their old unit was struggling to maintain temperature, leading to longer ticket times during the evening rush.

"Since installing the Blue Seal G596 B, our grill section is transformed. The heat is incredibly consistent, and  we can load it up without worrying about recovery times. It’s tough, reliable, and  just powers through service."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The pub now serves grilled items up to 30% faster during peak hours, significantly improving table turnover and  customer satisfaction.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the countertop or stand is level and  can safely support the unit's weight (178kg).
  • Installation must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
  • Allow for adequate ventilation around the unit as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
  • Check the gas connection is secure and  leak-free before the first use.

Keeping It Going

  • After each service, use a wire brush to clean the grates while they are still warm.
  • Lift out the grates, radiants, and  baffles for a thorough clean at the end of the day.
  • Regularly empty and  clean the grease collection tray to prevent build-up.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and  appropriate cleaner.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Chargrill

Not sure which grill is the best fit for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Gas Type

Check your kitchen's supply. This model is for LPG (bottled gas), but many are available for Natural Gas (mains). Always match the grill to your setup.

Size & Footprint

Measure your counter space carefully. Consider both the width and  depth, and  ensure you have enough clearance for ventilation and  safe operation.

Grate Material & Design

Heavy-duty cast iron grates, like these, retain and  distribute heat brilliantly. Reversible designs offer fantastic versatility for different foods.

Power & Heat Control

Look at the total power (in kW). Higher power means faster heat-up and  recovery. Independent controls for different zones offer greater cooking flexibility.

Ease of Cleaning

Removable grates, radiants, and  grease traps are a must. A grill that's easy to clean is more likely to be kept clean, ensuring better hygiene and  performance.

Why Reversible Grates Make All the Difference

Ever wondered how chefs get different sear marks on different foods? The reversible heavy-duty grates on this Blue Seal chargrill are a clever part of the secret. Think of it like having two specialised pans in one. One side of the grate has thinner edges, perfect for leaving delicate, fine grill marks on fish or halloumi. Flip it over, and  you get wide, flat rails that are brilliant for creating those thick, bold, steakhouse-style sear marks on burgers and  steaks, locking in all the flavour. This simple but effective feature gives you greater control over your presentation and  cooking, allowing you to tailor the finish to whatever you're grilling.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Steakhouses & Grill Restaurants: Delivers the high, even heat needed for perfect sear marks and  consistent cooking on prime cuts.
  • Gastropubs: Ideal for elevating your menu with gourmet burgers, grilled halloumi, and  charred vegetable sides.
  • Hotel Kitchens: A reliable powerhouse for handling high-volume breakfast, lunch, and  dinner grill service with ease.
  • Event & Mobile Caterers: Provides incredible cooking power in a countertop form, perfect for high-output catering at festivals and  events.
