This ribbed electric griddle provides a 550x450mm cooking surface for high-volume preparation in commercial kitchens. The grooved steel plate drains fat continuously during service. Burger restaurants, breakfast cafés and hotel kitchens use it for simultaneous preparation of multiple menu items.
Commercial Application
The unit serves as a primary cooking surface during peak service periods. Multiple operators can work different temperature zones across the 550mm width. The ribbed surface marks proteins and drains fat into a removable collection drawer.
During breakfast service, the griddle handles bacon, sausages and eggs simultaneously. At lunch, burger patties and vegetables cook side by side. The 3kW heating element maintains surface temperature under continuous load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface steel or chrome-plated?
A: The cooking surface is steel with machined grooves. Chrome plating is not used on ribbed griddles as it cannot withstand the repeated thermal expansion across grooved surfaces.
Q: Does this griddle operate on electricity only?
A: Yes. This is an electric-only unit requiring 230V single-phase supply at 3kW. It does not operate on any other fuel type.
Q: How does the grease channel system work?
A: The ribbed surface slopes toward the front edge where fat drains into a removable drawer. The drawer slides out for emptying and cleaning at end of service.
Q: Can this griddle be installed in a food truck?
A: Yes, if the vehicle electrical system supplies 230V at 13A. The 20kg weight allows secure mounting on reinforced countertops. Ensure adequate ventilation above the cooking surface.
Q: Can I control different temperature zones across the surface?
A: This model has a single thermostat controlling the entire cooking plate. Temperature variation occurs naturally with distance from the heating elements and food placement during service.
