Parks are not sterile environments so outdoor cooking systems must cope with constant exposure to the elements and even the local fauna. Then there’s the steady stream of visitors.

So park safety isn't just about avoiding accidents. Cooking on an unhygienic BBQ is also an ever-present danger.

There’s also much more to cooking hygienically than just keeping the BBQ clean. Cooking food incorrectly is even more dangerous.

To kill harmful bacteria and germs the correct cooking temperature must be reached rapidly and then maintained throughout the entire cooking process and Christie hotplates are programmed to follow this process without fail.

Regrettably, inferior systems can often fail to maintain a safe temperature level around the perimeter of the hotplate.

When the temperature is too low, bacteria and other micro-organisms survive and multiply contaminating food. Not only will these unsafe hotplates leave park operators to deal with seriously sick patrons, the results can even be fatal!

Every Christie 3.6 kW High Efficiency hotplate has the perfect power balance to produce that essential burst of heat and sustain it for perfect hygiene.

The perforated mesh also elevates the plate allowing trapped heat to escape so the thermostat can precisely manage the heat level.

Every part of the cooking surface, even the side walls, is properly heated thanks to Christie's exclusive Bonded Dual-Layer Technology. Like expensive saucepans, this bonded layer distributes heat evenly to all corners of the plate, making sure there are never any dangerous cool spots.

And the surface of the hotplates and the surrounding bench tops are non-porous and easy to keep clean. There are no welds, creases or deep corners to trap food or hide germs and bacteria because every Christie hotplate is pressed from a single sheet of high grade stainless steel.

Backed by 35 years of innovation and testing, these technologies have helped make Christie ‘parksafe’ BBQs the first choice for the vast majority of Australian park operators.

ecology: keeping our precious parks safe
In 2007, much of California’s forests along with vast numbers of birds and animals were destroyed in devastating wild fires. Like so many other disasters around the world, this fire was started by cooking on an open camp fire.
