Commercial Griddles

Select from gas or electric griddles for sale Choosing to purchase a commercial electric griddle or a commercial gas griddle depends on the power source. Both work equally well, although gas is generally cheaper fuel-wise and heats up faster.

I recommend:  Work with BigTray to access a large selection of both gas and industrial electric griddles. They offer a choice of either heavy duty electric or light duty electric. Gas powered griddles are also available in heavy duty Gas or light duty gas. After looking over the wide selection, if you are still unsure BigTray has created a Buyer's Guide that addresses common concerns.

Select commercial stove top griddles with a polished steel plate or a cast iron surface Polished steel heats more evenly while cast iron is best known for its crisping ability. Generally a commercial stove top griddle will be made from cast iron and have a smooth surface on one side and a ridged surface on the other.

I recommend:  If the commercial griddles are too big, then look at what AbleKitchen.com has to offer. This website carries commercial stove top griddles and electric griddles made from cast iron or polished steel plate surfaces.

Compare kitchen griddles and restaurant griddles The main thing that differentiates kitchen griddles from restaurant griddles is the size of the griddle. Griddles can range from 1 sq ft to up to 10 sq ft. Kitchen griddles tend to be smaller with the portability that allows for versatility in the kitchen. Restaurant griddles must accommodate not only more food, but a wider variety, so a larger surface area is a better choice.

I recommend:  Examine the products offered by Chefs Catalog Online for kitchen griddles. Many have an added feature of the reverse side being a grill which provides a greater amount of versatility.
