Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Full Monty Café in Bristol was struggling with an old, undersized griddle that had developed cold spots, causing frustrating delays during their weekend breakfast rush. They needed an upgrade that could handle volume and provide consistent heat.
"The dual controls on the Modena GG65 have completely streamlined our morning service. We can have bacon sizzling on one side and eggs gently cooking on the other. It's just brilliant and has made our kitchen so much more efficient."
David Chen – Head Chef
Since installing the griddle, the café has cut its breakfast ticket times by an average of 25% and can now handle the peak weekend rush without breaking a sweat.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always place the griddle on a stable, level, and non-combustible countertop with adequate ventilation.
- Connection to any gas supply must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Before its first use, thoroughly clean the griddle plate to remove any protective factory coating.
- Season the mild steel plate with a thin layer of cooking oil and heat it to create a natural non-stick surface.
Keeping It Going
- After each service, scrape the plate down with a griddle scraper while it's still warm (not scorching hot).
- Regularly empty and clean the front-access grease collection tray to prevent build-up and fire hazards.
- Wipe down the stainless steel body with a damp cloth and a suitable food-safe cleaner.
- Periodically re-season the cooking plate with oil to maintain its performance and protect it from rust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a Gas Safe engineer to install this griddle?
A: Yes, absolutely. By law, any commercial gas appliance in the UK must be installed, commissioned, and serviced by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Q: Can this griddle run on natural gas?
A: Yes, it is supplied ready for LPG (propane) but includes a natural gas conversion kit. An engineer must perform the conversion during installation.
Q: What does 'seasoning the plate' mean?
A: It's the process of applying a thin layer of oil to the mild steel plate and heating it. This creates a polymerised, natural non-stick surface that improves cooking and prevents rust.
Q: Is this countertop gas griddle 650mm portable?
A: While its countertop design makes it suitable for mobile catering units, its 40kg weight and need for a gas connection mean it's designed as a semi-permanent, stationary appliance.
Q: What is a Piezo ignition?
A: It’s a simple, reliable mechanical system. When you push the button, it creates a spark to ignite the gas, so you don't need separate lighters or matches.
Q: How do I clean the mild steel cooking plate?
A: The best method is to use a griddle scraper to remove food debris while the plate is still warm, then wipe it down with a lightly oiled cloth to protect the surface.
Q: What's the benefit of a mild steel plate over stainless steel?
A: Mild steel has superior heat retention and distribution, which gives a more consistent and powerful sear. It's the preferred choice for cooking burgers and steaks.
Q: Are the gas hose and regulator included?
A: No, the gas hose and regulator are not supplied with the unit and will need to be purchased separately to match your specific gas setup.
The Modena Promise: Power and Simplicity for the Real World
Modena has carved out a reputation for creating equipment that just works, day in, day out, without the fuss.

This focus on robust simplicity means fewer things to go wrong, reducing potential downtime and maintenance headaches that can cost you money and customers. The heavy-duty construction and high-quality components, from the stainless steel body to the powerful burners, translate directly to a lower total cost of ownership over the appliance's lifespan.

Explore more from ModenaWhy Two Controls Are Better Than One
Ever tried to cook delicate eggs next to sizzling bacon on a single-control griddle? It’s a balancing act that often ends with one item being overcooked or undercooked. The dual independent controls on the Modena GG65 solve this problem completely. Think of it like having two separate griddles in one unit. You can set a high, searing heat on one half for your steaks or burgers, while the other half is on a low, gentle heat for warming buns or grilling vegetables. This zonal cooking gives you immense flexibility, reduces food waste, and makes your service dramatically faster and more consistent. It’s a simple feature that makes a huge difference during a busy shift.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bustling Cafés: Perfect for whipping up full English breakfasts, pancakes, and toasted sandwiches with ease.
- Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: Its robust, countertop design and LPG power make it ideal for festivals and events.
- Burger Joints & Takeaways: The heavy duty plate is brilliant for smashing burgers and searing patties to perfection.
- Pubs & Small Restaurants: A great way to add grilled steaks, chicken, and halloumi to your pub grub menu.
