Best Professional Griddles for Your Kitchen: Selection Criteria

Do you need to choose a commercial griddle? Do not hurry! Solving this problem is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. There are a lot of options on the modern market, and each manufacturer positions its product as the best! However, there are some aspects that you should pay attention to first of all:

  • Source of power,
  • Bottom,
  • Material (steel, chrome steel, ceramic, etc.),
  • Surface texture,
  • Height.

To make the right choice, you need to conduct a thorough analysis of the needs of your commercial kitchen. After all, this is the only way you can conclude whether this or that griddle suits you or not.


Power Of The Top Commercial Griddles

It is impossible to choose a commercial frying pan without taking into account what kind of power source you intend to use. So, there are only two types of pans concerning their source of nutrition. These are electricity and gas. How are they different? They heat up and recover differently! It takes less time to heat up and restore a gas griddle. The recovery process refers to the time it takes the pan to reach the correct cooking temperature after it has been turned off or when there is a temperature conflict (for example, when you need to fry meat and take the meat directly from the refrigerator). Electric griddles have their advantages. They are easy to use, easier to move, and have a wider range of sizes. Accordingly, they are more versatile. Thanks to these characteristics, they are easier to adapt to both a large commercial kitchen and, for example, a mobile trailer where fast food is cooked.

Examine The Plate Of The Commercial Griddles

Three base materials are used to produce a commercial pan plate:

  1. Steel. A steel griddle is versatile in use but requires constant proper care to prevent premature wear. With proper care and cleaning, this pan is suitable for daily cooking.
  2. Chrome-plated steel. Chrome-plated steel griddles are good, as food practically does not stick to them. They transfer all their heat to the products and do not throw it into the kitchen. If you properly care for such a griddle, cleaning will take you a minimum of time.
  3. Ceramic glass. This material conducts heat very well! Due to this, the surface of such a griddle heats up quickly, the cooking process does not take much time, and you can save energy. It is also very easy to care for.

The surface texture of commercial pans can also be of 3 types:

  1. Flat. This griddle is best for making pancakes or frying eggs. Fat does not flow anywhere, and as a result, you get tasty food and a minimum of burning.
  2. Ribbed. Such a griddle has shallow ruts where fat flows. It is ideal for cooking meat or fish.
  3. Mixed. It is a combination of ribbed and flat surfaces. It is worth noting that such a surface is found only in large commercial griddles.

So, analyze what is most often cooked in your kitchen and make your choice based on this!

Which is the size of top commercial griddles?

Full height griddles provide a standard food preparation experience and are a stand-alone unit in the kitchen. Countertop griddles are compatible with the surfaces of other appliances. In any case, you need to cook under the hood. So, make your choice based on the size of the kitchen and the algorithms for the use process.
