Ignites the Future of Chargrilling with the New Opus 800 Ignite Electric Chargrill Lincat

Lincat, is proud to unveil the Opus 800 Ignite Electric Chargrill, a British designed and built innovation that combines authentic flame-grilled flavour with exceptional energy efficiency, easy cleaning, and the reliability operators expect from Lincat.

As kitchens across the UK and beyond embrace electrification to reduce emissions and future-proof their operations, the Opus 800 Ignite is designed to support this transition without compromise. Manufactured in Britain to the highest standards, and backed by a two-year parts and on-site labour warranty, Ignite offers operators complete peace of mind while delivering a step change in performance.

Available in three widths – 600mm (OE8415), 850mm (OE8416), and 1100mm (OE8417) – Ignite gives chefs the power of real flame technology in an electric format. In blind taste tests, diners preferred the flavour of food cooked on Ignite compared with traditional gas chargrills, proving that sustainability and authentic taste can go hand in hand. Heavy-duty cast iron grids create distinctive branding marks, ensuring food looks as good as it tastes.

Efficiency has been central to the Ignite’s development. Compared with the Electric Direct Cook Chargrill, Ignite uses 41% less energy, is three times faster to clean, and offers 23% more usable cooking space on the OE8416 and OE8417. With independently controlled heat zones across two, three, or four sections, depending on model, chefs can tailor output precisely to service demands, cutting waste and maximising throughput.

Vapourising technology turns fat and debris into ash for effortless sweep-out cleaning, while the enamelled base plate and stainless-steel splashback make hygiene straightforward. The unit integrates seamlessly into professional kitchens, with optional extras such as a resting rack, garnish rail, or stand offering additional flexibility.

Helen Mapleston, Marketing Manager for Lincat, said: “The Opus 800 Ignite is more than just a product launch — it’s part of our commitment to supporting the electrification of professional kitchens. Chefs no longer need to choose between sustainability and authentic flame-grilled flavour. With Ignite, they can have both, backed by British manufacturing quality and the reassurance of a two-year on-site warranty.”
