Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Dog Diner in Whitby needed to upgrade its ageing griddle ahead of the summer tourist season to cope with the demand for its famous breakfast sandwiches and fresh seafood burgers.
"The Blue Seal griddle has been a brilliant addition. The heat is so even across the entire plate, and it just keeps up no matter how many dockets we have on the go. Our breakfast service is smoother, and the consistency of the food leaving the kitchen is spot on every single time."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The new griddle enabled them to reduce average ticket times by 15% during their busiest morning periods, significantly improving table turnover and customer satisfaction.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Installation must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Ensure the griddle is placed on a flat, level surface under suitable extraction.
- Before first use, season the griddle plate as per the manufacturer's instructions to create a non-stick surface.
- Check that the gas connection is secure and has been professionally leak-tested.
Keeping It Going
- Scrape down the griddle plate after each service while it's still warm to remove food debris.
- Empty and clean the grease collection tray daily to prevent build-up.
- Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces with a food-safe cleaner to maintain hygiene.
- Arrange for an annual service by a qualified engineer to keep it running safely and efficiently.

Explore more from Blue SealHow Flame Failure Protection Keeps Your Kitchen Safer
Ever wondered what 'flame failure protection' actually does? It's one of the most important safety features on any gas appliance, and it’s brilliantly simple. Think of it as a vigilant safety guard for your gas line. The system uses a sensor that constantly checks if the pilot light is lit. If the flame accidentally blows out for any reason – perhaps from a sudden draft or a spillage – the sensor immediately detects the absence of heat and automatically shuts off the main gas valve. This stops unburnt gas from dangerously filling your kitchen, preventing a potential fire or explosion. It’s a silent, automatic feature that provides priceless peace of mind.

- Steak Houses & Restaurants: Delivers the high, even heat needed to achieve the perfect sear and crust on prime cuts of meat.
- High-End Mobile Caterers: Its robust construction and reliable performance make it a trustworthy centrepiece for any event kitchen setup.
