Popular in fast food restaurants and cafés, a Griddle is a piece of catering equipment which is basically just a sheet of heated metal. The metal can be aluminium, stainless steel or cast iron and is typically 2.0-2.5 mm thick – the thicker the griddle plate, the quicker the griddle can recover temperature.
Known for maintaining even heat, Griddles can be used to prepare many foods, which are usually prepared in frying pans, including; bacon, eggs, sausages, pancakes and flatbreads – such as naan.
Whilst some commercial catering griddles can reach and hold temperatures of up to 400 °C (800 °F), they are typically used at temperatures of 60-230 °C (150-450 °F). Some of the larger models allow for multiple temperatures on the same heat surface – meaning different foods can be prepared at the same time.
