How to Choose the Best Commercial Griddle
- Cooking surface size: Choose a plate size that matches your output—smaller cafés can use compact units, while busy kitchens need wider surfaces.
- Plate type: Select smooth plates for eggs and pancakes or ribbed plates for seared meats and grilled sandwiches.
- Heat source: Decide between electric for easy setup or gas for faster heat recovery and precise control.
- Temperature zones: Look for models with multiple heat zones to cook different foods simultaneously without flavour crossover.
- Build quality & cleaning: Opt for stainless steel bodies with removable grease trays and splashbacks for quick, hygienic cleanup.
Commercial Griddle Comparison – Gas vs Electric
| Features | Gas | Electric |
|---|---|---|
| Heat-up & Recovery | Fast burner response and strong recovery, great for continuous searing. | Even plate heat and stable temps; multi-element designs keep consistency during rush. |
| Control & Precision | Simple, robust controls; excellent high-heat performance. | Thermostatic precision; many models offer multi-zone or digital control; induction options available (e.g., Garland Instinct). |
| Sizes & Zones | 1–4+ burner tops across brands (e.g., Gasmax single to four-burner range). | Compact singles to wide multi-zone units (Apuro, Benchstar, Woodson, Fagor, etc.). |
| Plate Options | Mild steel and chrome plates widely available (e.g., Fagor gas models in mild steel ‘L’ or chrome ‘CL’). | Mild steel and chrome plates also common (e.g., Fagor electric ‘L’ and ‘CL’ variants). |
| Installation | Requires NG/LPG connection and compliance; stronger extraction usually needed. | Plug-in small units (10–15A) up to hard-wired heavy-duty; often easier where gas isn’t available. |
| Energy & Operating Costs | Often preferred for high-output searing; running cost depends on local gas tariffs. | Good efficiency at smaller sizes; predictable power costs; suits sites without gas. |
| Ventilation & FOH Use | Higher heat & combustion by-products typically need stronger ventilation; better BOH. | Smoother for front-of-house; glass-ceramic/induction options present well and reduce radiant heat. |
| Cleaning & Hygiene | Grease drawers/splashbacks standard; chrome plates reduce sticking and wipe down faster. | Similar features; many easy-clean surfaces and removable grease trays; chrome & ceramic options clean quickly. |
| Brand Coverage | Gas options from brands like Gasmax, Fagor, Waldorf/Waldorf Bold, Mareno, and Garland. | Electric options from Apuro, Benchstar, Woodson, Fagor, Roband, Spidocook, and Garland (incl. induction). |
| Best For | Burger shops, steakhouses, high-volume lines needing rapid recovery and intense sear. | Cafés, food trucks, and venues prioritising precise control, easier install, or FOH presentation. |
