Expert Review and  Insights

Lincat has a rock-solid reputation for a reason, and  the ECG9 is a prime example of why. It’s not just powerful; it’s intelligently designed.

  • Exceptional Heat: The 13kW output provides incredible heat for rapid, back-to-back grilling.
  • A Hefty Unit: At nearly 50kg, it needs a sturdy counter and  two people to position.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Severn Boathouse' in Shrewsbury needed to upgrade their grill. Their old unit was struggling to keep up with the Saturday night rush, leading to inconsistent cooking and  longer waits for customers.

"The Lincat ECG9 has been a revelation. The heat recovery is so fast, and  the water bath means our steaks are juicier than ever. Our regulars have definitely noticed the improved quality, and  the kitchen is a much calmer place during service."

Laura Davies – Head Chef

Since installing the new chargrill, the restaurant has successfully reduced ticket times by an average of 15% during peak periods and  seen a noticeable increase in sales of their signature grilled dishes.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure you have a stable, level, and  non-combustible countertop that can safely support the unit's weight (49.4kg).
  • This unit requires a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply; installation must be carried out by a qualified commercial electrician.
  • Before the first use, season the cast-iron grid with cooking oil and  heat it as per the manufacturer's instructions to create a non-stick surface.
  • Always fill the water bath with cold water to the indicated level mark before switching the unit on for service.

Keeping It Going

  • After each service, use a wire brush to clean the cooking grid while it's still warm to easily remove food residue.
  • Empty, wipe, and  refill the water bath daily. This prevents grease and  residue from building up and  affecting performance.
  • Regularly wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and  a food-safe cleaner to maintain its professional look.
  • Visually inspect the power cable for any signs of wear or damage and  report any issues to a qualified engineer immediately.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Electric Chargrill

Not sure which chargrill is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to think about before you decide.

Size vs. Space

Measure your countertop space carefully. This 900mm model is built for high-volume output; smaller kitchens might need a more compact unit from the Silverlink 600 range.

Power Up

Always check your kitchen's power supply. This is a powerful 13kW, 3-phase unit, so you must confirm your electrics can handle it before you buy.

Grid Material

Cast iron, as found on the ECG9, provides incredible heat retention for amazing sear marks, but requires a little more care and  seasoning than stainless steel grids.

Water Bath or Lava Rock?

A water bath adds humidity for juicier food and  less shrinkage, while lava rocks provide a more traditional smoky flavour. Decide which method suits your menu best.

The Cleaning Factor

Look for features that make your life easier, like the hinging elements on this model. A grill that’s simple to clean is one your team will look after properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the main benefit of a water bath in a chargrill?

A: It adds moisture and  humidity during the cooking process, which keeps food like steaks and  chicken incredibly succulent and  helps to reduce shrinkage.

Q: Is the cast-iron grid difficult to maintain?

A: Not at all. It simply needs regular cleaning with a wire brush after use and  occasional seasoning with oil to keep it non-stick and  protected, just like a high-quality frying pan.

Q: How many independent heat zones does this model have?

A: This model operates as one large cooking zone, but its six distinct heat settings give you precise temperature control across the entire 900mm grid.

Q: What are the power requirements for the Lincat ECG9 chargrill?

A: It requires a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply and  has a power rating of 13kW. It cannot be run on a standard 13-amp domestic plug.

Q: How wide is the actual cooking area?

A: The unit has a total width of 900mm, providing a very generous and  uninterrupted cooking surface for handling busy services.

Q: Can I use this for cooking delicate items like fish?

A: Absolutely. The lower heat settings provide the gentle, controllable temperature needed for more delicate foods, while the higher settings are perfect for searing meats.

Q: What happens if the water bath accidentally runs dry during service?

A: For your peace of mind, the unit is fitted with a high-temperature safety cut-out that will automatically switch it off to prevent any damage to the elements.

Q: How do you clean the splashguard?

A: The splashguard is an integral part of the robust design, and  its smooth stainless steel construction makes it very easy to wipe down and  keep clean after service.

The Secret to Succulent Grilling: How the Water Bath Works

Ever wondered how to get that perfect char on the outside without drying out the food on the inside? That's where the Lincat ECG9's clever water bath comes in. It's a simple tray of water that sits below the heating elements. As the grill heats up, this water gently evaporates, releasing steam and  creating a humid cooking environment. Think of it like a personal sauna for your food. While a normal grill just blasts dry heat, the ECG9 surrounds your steaks or veg with a moist, steamy air. This stops them from drying out, locks in all the natural juices, and  significantly reduces shrinkage, which is great for your bottom line. It's the secret weapon for getting a perfectly charred exterior while keeping the inside unbelievably tender and  juicy.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Restaurants: Ideal for consistently grilling perfect steaks, chicken, and  vegetables for your main courses.
  • Gastro Pubs: Easily elevate your menu with deliciously charred burgers, gourmet sausages, and  halloumi skewers.
  • Busy Cafes & Bistros: Add premium grilled sandwiches, paninis, and  popular brunch items to your daily offering.
  • Event Caterers: A reliable, high-output countertop unit for serving hungry crowds at festivals and  functions.
