Why this countertop chargrill earns its place
The Lincat Opus Ignite W850MM is a real-flame electric chargrill designed for kitchens that need chargrilled flavour without gas or solid fuel hassle. It delivers that authentic taste customers expect — char marks, crust, the lot — using proven electric technology across an 850mm cooking surface. The unit's real strength is efficiency: it uses 41% less energy than traditional direct-cook chargrills, a saving that matters during a busy service. Four independently controlled heat zones let you manage different cooking demands across the same surface — sear at full heat on one side, hold and finish on the other.
Cleaning is where this chargrill earns its place. Most chargrills mean scrubbing burnt fat and debris for half an hour after service. This one uses advanced vaporising technology to transform fat and debris into ash for a simple sweep-out — cleaning is three times faster than traditional chargrills. The removable, heavy-duty cast iron grids create distinctive char marks and come out for easy cleaning. A three-piece stainless steel splashback and enamelled base plate keep debris contained, and you get a grid lifting tool and cleaning rake as standard.
Built entirely in stainless steel at 700mm high and 88 kg, it's compact enough for tight kitchen layouts but substantial enough for serious service. Rated at 10,800W on single or three-phase supply, it's designed to fit straight into commercial kitchen electrics. Two-year warranty covers parts and labour, so you're supported if anything goes wrong.
