Expert Review and  Insights

The Opus 800 series is Lincat's heavy-duty range, and  this griddle doesn't disappoint. It’s a solid, dependable unit that feels like it’s been built to last a lifetime. The dual-zone control is what really sets it apart for me; it offers genuine flexibility that busy chefs will appreciate, turning a simple griddle into a versatile cooking station.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The heat recovery is incredibly fast, even when loading it with cold items.
  • Cons: Its 111kg weight means it's a two-person job to install safely.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Coastal Catch', a popular seaside cafe in Whitby, North Yorkshire, found their old griddle was creating a bottleneck during the tourist season. They upgraded to the Lincat OE8206 to increase their breakfast and  lunch capacity.

"The difference was immediate. We can now have bacon and  eggs sizzling on one side and  veggie sausages on the other without any temperature drop. The consistency is spot on, and  the team isn't fighting for space anymore. It's just a solid, reliable machine."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

The upgrade helped them reduce average customer wait times for hot food by 25% during their peak summer lunch service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the griddle is placed on a sturdy, level countertop that can safely support its 111kg weight.
  • This unit is 400V 3-phase and  must be hardwired by a qualified commercial electrician.
  • Leave adequate ventilation space around the unit as specified in the manufacturer's manual.
  • Before first use, season the steel griddle plate with a thin layer of cooking oil and  heat it to create a non-stick surface.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean the griddle surface after each use while it's still warm (but not hot!) using a griddle scraper and  cloth.
  • Empty and  clean the 2.5-litre debris collection drawer daily to prevent grease build-up.
  • Use non-abrasive cleaning pads to avoid scratching the stainless steel body and  plate.
  • Periodically check that the welded plate surround is clear of any trapped food debris.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Griddle

Not sure which griddle is right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what to consider.

Size & Output

Measure your counter space first! Then, think about your busiest service. A wider griddle like this 900mm model is essential for high-volume kitchens.

Power Source

Electric griddles offer precise, even heat, which is great for consistency. Make sure your kitchen has the right power supply, like the 3-phase required for this model.

Plate Material

Steel plates, like on the Lincat Opus 800 steel griddle, are fantastic all-rounders. They heat up fast, are incredibly durable, and  are perfect for a wide variety of foods.

Control Type

Thermostatic controls (like this one) let you set an exact temperature and  maintain it. This is crucial for cooking delicate items and  ensuring food safety.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Look for features that make life easier. A large, removable grease drawer and  a welded plate surround to contain mess are non-negotiable for a busy kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the griddle plate need to be seasoned?

A: Yes, it's highly recommended. Seasoning the steel plate before first use by heating a thin layer of oil will create a natural non-stick surface and  protect the metal.

Q: How long does it take to heat up?

A: One of its key features is a fast heat-up time. It will be ready to cook on in just a matter of minutes from a cold start.

Q: What does 'independently controlled heat zones' mean?

A: It means the left and  right halves of the griddle have their own separate temperature controls, so you can cook at two different temperatures at the same time or turn one side off.

Q: What kind of power supply does this Lincat OE8206 griddle need?

A: It requires a 400V, 3-phase commercial electricity supply and  must be installed by a qualified electrician. It cannot be plugged into a standard wall socket.

Q: What is the main benefit of the large drain hole?

A: The 48mm drain hole efficiently channels excess fat and  grease away from the cooking surface into the collection drawer, resulting in healthier food and  easier cleaning.

Q: Can I cook delicate items like eggs and  pancakes on it?

A: Absolutely. The precise thermostatic control allows you to set lower, consistent temperatures perfect for more delicate foods as well as high temperatures for searing.

Q: How do I clean the cooking surface?

A: The best method is to scrape it down while still warm with a griddle scraper, then wipe with a damp cloth and  a little oil. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads.

Q: Is the splashguard effective?

A: Yes, the increased height of the splashguard is specifically designed to contain splatter, protecting your walls and  surrounding equipment, which speeds up your kitchen's clean-down routine.

Cook Smarter, Not Harder: The Power of Dual Heat Zones

Ever wished you had two griddles but only have space for one? That's exactly the problem that independently controlled heat zones solve. Instead of one thermostat controlling the entire 900mm surface, this Opus 800 electric griddle has two separate controls for the left and  right halves. Think of it like having two pans on a single hob – you can have one side roaring at a high heat for searing steaks, while the other is on a gentle temperature just to toast buns or keep cooked items warm. During a quiet afternoon, you can simply turn one half off completely, saving a significant amount on your electricity bill without switching off your entire setup. It's a simple feature that provides incredible flexibility and  efficiency.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Bistros & Restaurants: Perfect for handling a diverse menu from breakfast through to dinner service with its dual zones.
  • High-Volume Cafes: Effortlessly manages the morning rush for bacon, eggs, and  sausages with its fast heat-up and  recovery.
  • Event & Mobile Caterers: A reliable and  powerful catering griddle plate for cooking consistently at festivals and  events.
  • Gastro Pubs: Ideal for searing high-quality steaks, burgers, and  halloumi with precise temperature control.
