Capability & Business Use
The Mercury MEG-30A is a professional-grade countertop griddle engineered for high-footfall catering establishments, including fast food outlets, catering trailers, and busy cafes. Its expansive 745mm wide surface provides the necessary throughput to handle bulk cooking of burgers, sausages, bacon, and eggs during peak service hours. Designed to keep home life moving, and commercial kitchens productive, this unit combines heavy-duty performance with a compact footprint to maximise output in restricted spaces.
Technical Reliability & Installation
Manufactured by Middleby, the MEG-30A features a polished steel cooking plate for uniform heat transfer and a robust 2.9kW energy-efficient element. For a hassle-free experience, the unit is fitted with a 13A plug, making it an ideal choice for mobile catering and environments where specialist hardwiring is not available. The heavy-duty stainless steel construction resists corrosion, while non-slip rubber feet and a built-in thermal cut-out switch ensure stable and safe operation under daily commercial stress.
Operation Experience
Daily operation is straightforward and savvy, featuring an easy-to-use dial control and an illuminated on/off switch for clear status monitoring. The integrated splash guard protects the surrounding workspace from grease splatter, while the cool-touch front panel enhances operator safety. To ensure a clean and professional environment, the removable drip tray allows for the quick removal of fat and oil, reducing downtime and maintaining high hygiene standards throughout the shifts.
