  • Calculate cooking area needed for your peak service periods.
  • Consider clearance for heat dissipation—typically 150mm minimum.

Functionality and Performance

  • Multiple heat zones ideal for varied menus—pair with splashguards.
  • Check gas input ratings—higher BTUs mean faster recovery times.
  • Choose flat or ribbed surfaces based on your menu requirements.

How Commercial Gas Griddles Work

Gas griddles operate on a brilliantly simple but effective principle. Powerful gas burners situated beneath a thick, flat cooking plate create intense, even heat across the entire cooking surface. The heavy-duty plates—typically 10-20mm thick carbon steel or chrome—distribute this heat uniformly, eliminating hot spots for consistent cooking results. Most professional models feature independent heat zones, letting chefs set different temperatures across the same griddle. When you fire up the burners and adjust the thermostatic controls, the griddle maintains your chosen temperature—usually between 100-300°C—perfect for anything from gentle egg cooking to searing steaks with those coveted caramelised edges!

Safety Guidelines

  • Check Flames Ensure blue flames only—yellow indicates poor combustion.
  • Use PPE Heat-resistant gloves prevent burns when adjusting temperatures.
  • Ventilation Required Always operate under extraction—prevents harmful gas build-up.
  • Use Long Tools Proper spatulas keep hands away from hot surfaces.
  • Shut Off Gas Turn off supply when not in use—prevents leaks.
  • Regular Maintenance Schedule professional gas safety checks annually.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Gas Griddles

Always season your steel griddle plate before first use—apply a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat gradually to create a natural non-stick surface. For daily cleaning, scrape excess food residue while the plate is still warm (not hot), then wipe with a damp cloth. Use griddle screens or burger presses for faster cooking times and better product consistency. If you're cooking different foods simultaneously, use the multiple heat zones effectively by placing items requiring higher temperatures toward the back where heat is often slightly higher.

Real-World Success with Commercial Gas Griddles

The Grill House in Birmingham was struggling with an outdated cooking setup that couldn't handle their growing burger business. After installing a 1200mm gas griddle with four independent heat zones from us, everything changed. They paired it with a commercial fryer and refrigerated prep table for a complete workflow revolution. 'Our service times dropped by nearly 40%,' the head chef tells us. 'We're now serving 200+ covers during Friday dinner rush with food that's more consistent than ever. Best investment we've made!'
