Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Pros: The six independent heat zones provide outstanding control for versatile menus.
  • Cons: Its significant weight and  hardwiring needs mean installation requires professional planning.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Stables Bistro' in Bakewell, Derbyshire, found their old chargrill was creating bottlenecks during their packed weekend lunch service. They needed a larger, more powerful unit that could keep pace and  deliver consistent quality.

"Switching to the Lincat OE8406 has been a massive improvement. The heat is incredibly even, and  the water bath keeps our chicken and  fish dishes so much juicier. Our customers have noticed the difference, and  the kitchen is running far more smoothly."

Samuel Jones – Head Chef

Since installation, The Stables Bistro has successfully increased its service speed by 20% during peak hours, significantly improving table turnover.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit must be installed and  hardwired by a qualified commercial catering engineer.
  • Ensure it is placed on a stable, level, and  non-combustible countertop with adequate ventilation.
  • Connect the water inlet to a mains supply using a food-grade hose.
  • Before first use, season the cast iron grids with a light coating of cooking oil and  heat gently.

Keeping It Going

  • After each service, use a wire brush to clean food debris from the grids while they are still warm.
  • Empty and  wipe down the water bath daily using the front drainage tap.
  • Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and  a suitable cleaner.
  • Periodically remove the grids and  clean the area beneath the hinged elements thoroughly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Electric Chargrill

Feeling a bit stuck on which chargrill to choose? No worries, here are a few key things to think about to make sure you get the perfect fit for your kitchen.

Size and  Capacity

Measure your available counter space carefully. Consider your menu and  peak order volume to choose a cooking area that can keep up without causing a bottleneck.

Power Requirements

Electric models like this offer consistent heat and  are often easier to clean. Check if your kitchen has the correct power supply (e.g., 400V 3-phase) and  if it requires hardwiring.

Grate Material

Cast iron grids, like those on the Lincat OE8406, are fantastic for heat retention and  creating defined sear marks. They require seasoning but the results are worth it.

Heat Control

Look for models with multiple, independent heat zones. This gives you the flexibility to cook different foods at different temperatures simultaneously, boosting efficiency.

Ease of Cleaning

Features like removable grids, hinged elements, and  integrated water baths with drainage taps can save your team a huge amount of time and  effort at the end of a long shift.

Why the Integrated Water Bath is a Grilling Game-Changer

Ever wondered how to get that perfect char without drying out your food? That's where the integrated water bath in the Lincat OE8406 comes in. While the hot cast iron grids above are busy creating those classic sear marks and  smoky flavour, the water bath below gently evaporates, creating a humid cooking environment. This moisture envelops the food, preventing it from drying out, which is especially important for leaner items like chicken breasts, fish fillets, and  vegetables. Think of it as a built-in flavour protector; you get all the fire and  sizzle of a top-tier commercial electric chargrill, but with an invisible helping hand that locks in natural juices and  reduces shrinkage, which ultimately means a better product and  less waste for your business.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Steakhouses & Grill Restaurants

    This unit is perfect for achieving consistent, deep sear marks and  flavour on high volumes of steaks and  burgers.

  • Busy Gastro Pubs

    An ideal upgrade for elevating your menu with perfectly grilled chicken, fish, halloumi, and  signature pub classics.

  • Hotel Kitchens

    Its reliability and  versatility make it a fantastic choice for handling diverse menus from breakfast through to dinner service.

  • Event Caterers

    A robust and  powerful Lincat chargrill for caterers who need a dependable unit for high-output cooking at events.
