Rieber's reputation for German engineering really shines through in the GP-3400-SP.

  • Pros: The heat consistency is top-tier, delivering perfect results every time.
  • Cons: At over 14kg, it has some heft, making it less ideal for frequent moving.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a busy café in the heart of York, needed a flexible grilling solution to cope with their popular weekend brunch menu without overhauling their small kitchen.

"The Rieber module slotted straight into our prep station. The speed it gets to temperature is fantastic, and  the even cook on our bacon and  halloumi is just brilliant. Our customers have noticed the difference, and  cleanup is no longer a dreaded task."

David Chen – Owner & Head Chef

The café has successfully reduced its average brunch order ticket time by over 20% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure your Varithek base unit is clean, stable, and  switched off before installation.
  • Carefully place the grill plate module onto the base, ensuring it sits flush and  securely.
  • Before its first use, it's a good idea to season the plate with a light coating of cooking oil and  heating it gently.
  • Always allow adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, clean the surface while it's still warm (not hot!) using the recommended polyamide scraper.
  • Empty and  wipe the removable grease collection tray after every service to maintain hygiene.
  • Use only soft cloths and  non-abrasive, food-safe detergents to avoid scratching the brushed finish.
  • Periodically check that the connection points between the module and  the base are clean and  free from debris.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Grill Module

Not sure which module is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider.

Surface Type

Think about your menu. Do you need a flat surface like this one for consistent searing of fish and  burgers, or a ribbed surface for classic chargrill marks on steaks?

Size and  Footprint

Check the Gastronorm (GN) sizing. A 1/1 GN module like this one is a standard size, but make sure it fits the space and  the base unit you have available.

Material Matters

Stainless steel offers fantastic hygiene and  durability, while cast iron holds heat for longer but requires more maintenance. Multi-layer materials like SWISS-PLY offer the best of both worlds.

System Compatibility

This is crucial! Always ensure the module you're buying is designed to work with your specific base unit system, like Rieber's Varithek range.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features that will make your life easier. A removable grease tray, non-stick properties, and  smooth surfaces will save you hours of scrubbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a standalone grill?

A: No, this is a module that requires a compatible Rieber Varithek heating base unit to function. It has no power source of its own.

Q: What is the cooking surface like?

A: This is a flat grill plate, designed for an even, all-over sear on foods like fish, eggs, and  burgers.

Q: How do you clean the stainless steel grill module?

A: It's best cleaned while still warm with a polyamide scraper to remove food residue, followed by a soft cloth and  mild, food-safe detergent.

Q: Is the grease collection tray included?

A: Yes, it comes with a removable grease collection tray that slides in underneath for simple and  hygienic disposal.

Q: What does 1/1 GN compatible mean?

A: It means the module is built to the standard 'Gastronorm 1/1' size (530 x 325 mm footprint), allowing it to fit into standard commercial kitchen counters and  systems.

Q: Can I cook directly on the surface?

A: Absolutely. It's designed for direct contact cooking, just like a traditional flat top grill or griddle.

Q: What is the main advantage of the SWISS-PLY material?

A: Its primary benefit is incredibly fast and  even heat distribution, which eliminates hot spots and  ensures consistent cooking results across the entire plate.

Q: Is it difficult to lift and  move?

A: It has a significant weight of 14.6kg, which speaks to its robust build quality. It is designed to be placed in a base unit rather than being moved frequently.

What Customers Are Saying

Mark Smith – Head Chef, The Grand Hotel Bristol

"Really solid bit of kit. It holds its heat brilliantly which is exactly what we needed for outdoor events. A bit heavy, but you can feel the quality."

Sarah Jones – Director, Premier Event Catering

The Rieber Difference: Engineering for Consistency

When you invest in a Rieber product, you're buying more than just a stainless steel grill module; you're investing in a legacy of German precision engineering. Rieber focuses on creating equipment that performs flawlessly under the intense pressure of a professional kitchen. This Varithek grill plate isn't simply about getting hot; it's about getting hot in a precise, controlled, and  utterly reliable way. This long-term value translates into less food waste from uneven cooking, faster service times because you can trust the equipment, and  the confidence for your chefs to execute their vision perfectly. In a busy service, that consistency is priceless, protecting your margins and  your reputation one perfectly cooked dish at a time.

What is SWISS-PLY and  Why Does It Cook Better?

Ever used a cheap frying pan that burns food in the centre whilst the edges stay lukewarm? That's what SWISS-PLY material is designed to prevent. Think of it as a high-tech metal sandwich. It combines a core layer of a super-conductive metal like aluminium, which spreads heat rapidly and  evenly, with outer layers of durable, hygienic stainless steel. This multi-layer construction means the entire grill plate heats up as one single, consistent surface. For a chef, this means no more shuffling food around to find a 'hot spot' – you get a reliable, edge-to-edge sear that delivers predictable, delicious results every single time, whether you're cooking one steak or ten.

Who Should Buy This?

Bistros & Gastropubs

  • Ideal for expanding your menu with perfectly seared steaks, burgers, and  vegetables without a full grill.

Hotel Restaurants

  • A brilliant addition to buffet lines or live cooking stations for breakfast sausages or dinner service.

Event Caterers

  • Provides a reliable, high-output grilling surface for pop-up events, weddings, and  food festivals.

Modern Cafés

  • Perfect for elevating your brunch menu with grilled halloumi, bacon, and  toasted sandwiches.
