Benchtop Electric Griddles

When you need a spacious element to cook on that offers reliable, even heat distribution, you’ll want an electric griddle.You’ll get consistent and accurate temperature control and the benchtop cooking models are super easy to set up.You can avoid the need for getting a specialist to install it, as most electric griddles operate with a standard plug that fits into your wall sockets.If you need something versatile, mobile, and easy to maintain, these are the perfect choice.

One of the major benefits of benchtop griddles is how simple they are to clean and maintain.Their stainless steel construction means you can use a scraper to remove any food residue after you’ve finished cooking.We recommend doing this while the plate is still warm but not hot to make it easier.After you’ve got most of the remains off, you can then wipe your griddle down with a damp cloth.You may also want to use a food-safe, non-abrasive cleaning agent periodically for a deeper clean.

Yes, absolutely.While household griddles and appliances are made for more infrequent use, commercial electric griddles can handle extended use.They have reliable heating elements with temperatures that typically range from 80℃ to 300℃ so you can cook a wide variety of menu items quickly, efficiently and safely.

While all of our benchtop models are compact, especially in comparison with a freestanding gas cooktop or griddle, some are better suited for small spaces than others.We recommend measuring the space you have available, but also to consider the kind of power outlet you want.Some require fixed electrical installation, while others come with a plug.You’ll also want to consider air extraction to keep your kitchen safe and remove any smoke or steam.Look for narrow-depth griddles, which are ideal for smaller establishments including compact cafes, food trucks, and pop-up stalls.

Yes, absolutely.Not only can they reduce the amount of dishes you need to wash by hand or put in the dishwasher, but they also expand your cooking space.You can use them to cook multiple things at once, like bacon and eggs for breakfast, or grilled cheese sandwiches for lunches, saving you time, labour, and bench space when it’s a feeding rush hour.

There are a whole host of common features you should look for when choosing the best electric griddle for your kitchen.When it comes to cooking, you’ll want to choose one with reliable temperature readings.Depending on your preferences, you can either have a standard dial or a digital display to let you know when your griddle is at temperature.For ease of cleaning and cooking safety, having a grease drip tray and a splash back are always valuable additions.They make tidying up at the end of the shift easier and keep your kitchen tidier.Finally, for safety while cooking, look for features like non-slip feet, and electric overheating protection, which ensures your griddle will switch off if it needs to.

As with any appliance, choosing one that’s made with high-quality materials is imperative not only for the quality of your cooking but also to ensure your griddle's lifespan.Stainless steel construction, with fully welded-on cooktops are ideal.Opt for high grade stainless steel as it’s not only the best option for cooking with but is also easier to clean and corrosion resistant.

Many modern electric griddles offer advanced heating elements, which can get up to temperature rapidly for fast cooking.You can also get digital displays and touch-activated temperature adjustment, ensuring you get the most even cooking conditions for the best possible outcomes.
