Table Top Electric Hotplate with Half Ribbed

The Aeonic Table Top Electric Hotplate – Half Ribbed, Half Flat is a compact combo griddle for QSRs, cafés and kiosks that need serious grilling and tawa cooking from the same unit. With one half of the plate ribbed and the other half flat (both full depth), powered by a 2.5 kW element with thermostat control, plus front gutter and removable drain tray, it delivers true dual-function capability while still remaining in a value-conscious price band.

Salient Features
  • 2.5 kW Heating Element with Thermostat Control
  • Half Plate Ribbed – Full Depth
  • Half Plate Flat – Full Depth
  • Front Gutter with Removable Drain Tray
  • Cool Control Panel Area
  • Safety Auto Reset
  • Compact, Table-Top, Commercial Grade

The Half Ribbed / Half Flat hotplate is targeted at outlets where grilling and tawa cooking are both core parts of the menu, but:

  • Space is limited
  • Budget doesn’t stretch to separate units for grill and tawa
  • The operator wants to upgrade beyond a plain flat plate

This model divides the cooking surface side-by-side:

  • One half: Ribbed, full depth
  • Other half: Flat, full depth

With:

  • Single temperature control(one plate, one thermostat)
  • Common front gutter + removable drain tray for both halves

This allows you to:

  • Run grill-style items on one side (for visible grill marks & better drainage)
  • Run tawa/flat items on the other side — simultaneously, if needed

It’s particularly useful for:

  • QSR snack menus mixing burgers, grilled sandwiches, wraps & Indian snacks
  • Cafés doing grilled/panini-style sandwiches plus flat items
  • Kiosks or snack points in food courts and canteens

where the same small piece of equipment has to do double duty.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        No.
        The entire plate is heated as one zone with a single thermostat setting.
        You can, however, decide which items go on which half based on their cooking response at that temperature.

        It’s best suited for:

        • QSRs with balanced grilled + flat snack menus
        • Cafés doing both panini/grilled sandwiches and Indian/continental griddle items
        • Operations where one machine must handle multiple roles due to space or budget constraints.
        • 7″ Ribbed Strip Model

          • Ribbed zone is narrower (~7″ width) on one side
          • Better if you do some grilling but mostly flat work
        • Half Ribbed / Half Flat Model

          • 50% of plate width is ribbed, 50% flat

        Better if grilling is a regular, significant part of your menu along with flat cooking

        It is slightly more involved than the flat half, as ribs need scrubbing between grooves.
        However:

        • The front gutter collects a lot of run-off and residue
        • The drain tray is removable, making it easier to clean both the tray and the gutter area

        With regular cleaning routines, both halves remain manageable.

        Yes.
        Even though it offers real dual-function capability, it is still positioned as a value-focused commercial hotplate—not a top-tier, high-spec imported griddle.

        As with your other Aeonic electric hotplates, it includes:

        • Thermostat-controlled heating
        • A safety auto reset that trips power in case of abnormal temperature conditions, helping to protect both the equipment and users.
