Commercial griddles

Electric griddle tops for commercial and professional kitchens

A commercial griddle, also known as a plancha, is the perfect addition to any kitchen that needs to complement larger equipment to prepare a wide range of foods quickly with hot plate cooking – especially eggs, bacon, steaks, fish and vegetables. They’re easy to clean, offer great thermostatic control and will keep your kitchen running smoothly even in the busiest service periods.

All JLA griddles are available with ‘Total Care’ – giving you brand new appliances for no capital outlay and protecting you from the cost and hassle of unexpected breakdowns.

Professional Griddles FAQs

Are electric griddles as good as gas griddles?

Rather than one type of professional griddle being better than the other, it’s more a case of considering its suitability with your catering business in mind.

Commercial electrical griddles are portable, efficient and offer an even distribution of heat across the surface of the plancha. They do, however, tend to warm up and cool down slower at a slower rate than their gas-powered counterparts.

Professional gas griddles are powerful and tend to reach higher temperatures, making them ideal for searing. They also offer a higher degree of control than electric griddles since they heat up and cool down more rapidly. With that said, they can’t rival electrical griddles for size and portability.

What can you cook on a commercial griddle?

Commercial griddles or planchas are outstanding for preparing foods which require a flat surface to cook evenly. That includes everything from burgers and bacon to steaks, eggs, pancakes, and even some vegetables. For that reason, they’re an indispensable tool in many professional kitchens and catering outfits.

How long do commercial griddles last?

How long a commercial griddle lasts depends on its build quality and how frequently it’s used in a professional kitchen day to day. Since JLA commercial catering griddles are constructed using heavy-duty materials like stainless steel and cast iron, you can expect our professional-grade cooking appliances to last over 10 years based on continuous daily use.

What is the best surface for a griddle?

Steel is widely considered the best material for commercial griddle flat tops. Hardwearing, economical, easy to clean and maintain, and an excellent heat conductor; steel is used on the majority of heavy-duty catering griddles that are designed for professional daily use.
