Choosing a commercial griddle
Gas griddles heat faster and cost less to run in most states, but require a gas connection and licensed installation. Electric and induction models are easier to install (standard 3-phase) and offer precise temperature zones — suited to prep kitchens where gas is not available. LPG versions suit food trucks and mobile catering. For use-case inspiration, read top 8 uses for an industrial griddle in commercial kitchens. Also see our commercial cooktop buying guide for full comparison.
Popular picks include the GasMAX 3-Burner Griddle Top (GG36) for high-output gas cooking in mobile and fixed setups, and the Cookrite Benchtop Hotplate Griddle 600mm as a compact workhorse for cafés and burger bars.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a griddle and a hotplate in commercial kitchens?
They refer to the same piece of equipment in Australian commercial kitchens — a flat cooking surface for direct-contact frying, searing and toasting. "Griddle" is common in commercial equipment specs; "hotplate" is the everyday term used in AU food service and takeaway contexts. Both terms appear in this range.
Gas vs electric commercial griddle — which should I choose?
Gas heats faster and is cheaper to run in most AU states; requires a gas connection and licensed gasfitter installation. Electric is easier to install (3-phase) and offers more precise temperature control per zone. LPG is ideal for food trucks and mobile catering where natural gas isn't available. Induction griddles offer the fastest response and are increasingly popular for prep kitchen use.
What size commercial griddle do I need?
Match size to your throughput: 300–400mm suits low-volume cafés and sandwich bars. 600mm is the standard workhorse for most restaurants and takeaways. 900mm+ suits high-volume burger bars, breakfast venues and production kitchens. Multi-zone tops (separate thermostats) allow different temperatures across the surface.
Are these griddles suitable for food trucks?
Yes — LPG benchtop models are purpose-built for mobile catering and food trucks. Check the LPG-rated models and confirm the unit fits your vehicle's gas connection setup. A licensed gasfitter must install and certify LPG equipment.
Do you deliver commercial griddles to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane?
Yes — fast freight to all states. Benchtop models ship standard freight; floor-standing units ship palletised. Sydney customers can also inspect units at our Granville NSW showroom.
What warranty is included with commercial griddles?
Manufacturer-backed and varies by brand and model — see our warranty information page for full terms.
