Professional electric griddles for catering

Professional electric griddle for bars, cafés and restaurants

The professional electric griddle plugs into a socket and needs no gas installation, so it suits counters and kitchens without a gas supply. The choice depends on the space available, the electrical installation of the premises (230 V or 400 V depending on the model), the plate size and the workload.

Sizes and finishes available

Which size of electric griddle to choose

The 40 cm electric griddle is the most compact model in the category. The 55 and 60 cm models offer more surface than the compact models and can suit different counter and kitchen services. The 73 and 80 cm electric griddles leave room to cook several products at once in continuous service.

Commercial electric griddle for continuous service

In catering, a commercial electric griddle is one designed to work every day throughout service. For that use, two figures on the product page matter: the size, because the 73 and 80 cm models have more free surface, and the plate thickness, because a thicker plate holds its temperature better when cold food goes on it. This category has 12 and 15 mm plates.

Electric griddle in rolled steel, ground steel or hard chrome

The rolled steel electric griddle has a 6 mm plate and is the simplest finish. The ground steel electric griddle has an 8 to 15 mm plate depending on the model. The hard chrome electric griddle has a specific surface coating on a 10 to 15 mm plate depending on the model; the exact thickness and finish are shown on each product page. The 60 cm version comes in all three finishes.

As a guide, ground steel is recommended for meat, which needs high temperatures, and hard chrome for vegetables and seafood, with a smoother surface that is easy to clean.

Smooth, ribbed or half-and-half plate

The smooth plate gives a continuous cooking surface. The ribbed plate marks meat and vegetables. The half-and-half plate combines a smooth area and a ribbed area on the same unit.

Electric griddle at 230 V or 400 V

Electric griddles from 40 to 73 cm run on 230 V. At 80 cm there is a 230 V version with a 12 mm hard chrome plate and 6 kW, and 400 V versions in rolled and ground steel of 5.2 kW. Before choosing a 400 V griddle, check that your premises have that socket.

Temperature control

The 40, 60 and 80 cm electric griddles with 6 or 15 mm plates adjust the temperature from 40 to 300 °C. The other models show their control range on the product page.

Electric or gas griddle

The electric griddle needs no gas installation and in our catalogue ranges from 40 to 80 cm. If your premises have a gas supply, you can also consider professional gas griddles, which go up to 120 cm. All the ranges, including fry-tops and grill griddles, are brought together in professional griddles for catering.

Before buying, check

• The power socket. If the griddle is 400 V, the premises need that socket.
• The space on the counter. Measure the width and depth available and compare them with the dimensions on each product page.
• The finish. Choose rolled steel, ground steel or hard chrome according to daily use.
