Commercial Griddles Buying Guide

A commercial griddle provides a large, versatile cooking surface for preparing a wide range of foods quickly and consistently. From breakfast service and burgers to steaks, chicken, fish and vegetables, griddles are a staple appliance in restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and other professional kitchens.

The Infernus range includes gas and electric commercial griddles, available in multiple widths and with a choice of steel or chrome cooking surfaces.

Gas or Electric Griddle?

Choosing between gas and electric will usually depend on your kitchen setup, available utilities and the type of service you operate.

Gas Griddles

Gas griddles are a popular choice for busy commercial kitchens and are particularly suited to high-volume cooking.

They are available in Natural Gas and LPG configurations, making them suitable for both fixed commercial kitchens and certain mobile catering applications.

Gas griddles are ideal for:

• Restaurants
• Takeaways
• Pubs
• Burger kitchens
• Mobile catering
• High-volume cooking

Browse our Commercial Gas Griddles to find the right size and configuration for your kitchen.

Electric Griddles

Electric griddles provide a convenient alternative where a gas supply isn’t available or practical. Many countertop models offer straightforward installation while still providing the cooking surface and temperature control required in a professional kitchen.

Electric griddles are ideal for:

• Cafés
• Restaurants
• Breakfast kitchens
• Pubs
• Smaller commercial kitchens
• Sites without a suitable gas supply

Steel or Chrome Griddle Plate?

Another important consideration is the cooking surface.

Steel Griddles

Steel cooking plates are durable, versatile and well suited to everyday commercial cooking. They provide excellent heat retention and are a popular choice for burgers, bacon, steaks, eggs and other regularly prepared foods.

Chrome Griddles

Chrome cooking surfaces provide a smooth cooking area that’s easier to clean and can help reduce heat radiation into the kitchen. They’re an excellent option for businesses looking for a premium cooking surface and straightforward cleaning.

Choosing the Right Griddle Size

The correct griddle size depends on the amount of food you expect to cook during your busiest service periods.

Smaller griddles are well suited to cafés, kiosks and kitchens with limited space, while larger models provide significantly more cooking area for restaurants, pubs and high-volume takeaways.

When choosing a commercial griddle, consider not only the physical dimensions of the appliance but also the available gas or electrical supply and the amount of cooking space your menu requires.

What Can You Cook on a Commercial Griddle?

Commercial griddles are extremely versatile and can be used for:

• Burgers
• Bacon
• Sausages
• Eggs
• Steaks
• Chicken
• Fish
• Vegetables

The large flat cooking surface also allows several different foods to be prepared simultaneously, making a griddle particularly useful during busy service periods.
