Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Cod, a popular fish and chip shop in Whitby, was struggling with their old griddle, which created frustrating bottlenecks during the tourist season rush. They upgraded to the Blue Seal GP513-LS to get more power and a consistent cooking surface.
"The new Blue Seal griddle has been brilliant. The heat is so even, and it recovers almost instantly, even when we load it up with burgers and onions. It's just a solid, dependable bit of kit that lets us serve customers faster."
Michael Edwards – Owner
The upgrade helped them increase their cooked-to-order output by over 30% during peak summer lunchtimes, significantly reducing queue times.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the griddle is installed on a stable, level, non-combustible surface.
- Installation must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer to comply with UK regulations.
- Before first use, season the steel griddle plate by cleaning it, applying a thin layer of cooking oil, and heating it for 15-20 minutes.
- Make sure the unit is positioned under an adequate commercial extraction canopy.
Keeping It Going
- After each use, scrape the surface clean while it's still warm (not scorching hot) to remove food debris.
- Clean the cooled surface daily with a mild detergent and a non-abrasive cloth or pad.
- Regularly empty and clean the front-facing grease collection tray to prevent overflow.
- Schedule an annual service with a qualified engineer to check burners, controls, and gas connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'thermostatically controlled' mean?
A: It means you can set a specific temperature, and the griddle will automatically maintain it by turning the burners on and off, giving you much greater cooking precision.
Q: Is the stand included with this commercial LPG griddle with stand?
A: Yes, the GP513-LS is an integrated unit, meaning the griddle comes complete with its sturdy stainless steel stand as pictured.
Q: What is a flame failure device?
A: It's a crucial safety feature that automatically shuts off the gas supply to the burner if the pilot light or flame accidentally goes out, preventing dangerous gas leaks.
Q: Do I need to season the griddle plate?
A: Yes, seasoning the machined steel plate before its first use will create a non-stick surface and protect it. This involves applying a thin coat of oil and heating it.
Q: Can this unit be used for mobile catering?
A: Absolutely. As an LPG-powered unit, it's perfect for food trucks and outdoor events, provided it is installed and secured safely and has adequate ventilation.
Q: What is the benefit of the 20mm thick steel plate?
A: The primary benefit is excellent heat retention. It holds its temperature even when loaded with cold food, ensuring faster cooking times and consistent searing.
Q: What does the 'fully modular' design mean?
A: It means this griddle is designed to sit flush and align perfectly with other equipment from the Blue Seal Evolution series, creating a neat, professional, and efficient cook line.
Q: How do I light the griddle?
A: The griddle is fitted with a simple and reliable push-button piezo ignition system for the pilot light, making start-up quick and easy.
The Blue Seal Evolution: Built for the British Kitchen Grind
When you invest in a Blue Seal product, you're buying more than just its specifications; you're investing in a legacy of reliability. The Evolution Series is renowned across the UK and beyond for its sheer robustness and no-nonsense approach to performance. This griddle isn't designed to be replaced in a few years; it's engineered to be the heart of your kitchen for a decade or more. The value lies in its unwavering consistency, reducing food waste from uneven cooking and preventing costly downtime during a frantic Saturday night service. Every component, from the heavy-gauge stainless steel to the chunky control dials, is chosen for durability. This focus on long-term operational efficiency means a lower total cost of ownership and, more importantly, the peace of mind that your equipment will perform flawlessly when you need it most.
Explore more from Blue SealWhy a 20mm Griddle Plate Is Your Secret Weapon
Ever wondered why some griddles produce a perfect, edge-to-edge sear while others leave you with sad, grey-looking steaks? The answer is often in the thickness of the plate. The Blue Seal GP513-LS features a massive 20mm thick machined steel plate, which acts like a thermal battery. It soaks up and stores a huge amount of heat energy across its entire surface. When you place cold food on it, a thin plate will instantly lose temperature, steaming the food instead of searing it. This thick plate, however, has so much stored energy that the temperature barely dips. Think of it like trying to cool a swimming pool with an ice cube versus trying to cool a puddle – the bigger mass holds its temperature far better. This means you get a consistent, powerful sear on the first burger and the fiftieth, without waiting for the griddle to recover.
