• Countertop gas griddles and fry tops for cafes, food trucks and tight back-of-house spaces.
• Freestanding gas griddles for higher volume restaurants, hotels and canteens needing larger cooking areas.
• Smooth plate and chrome plate options for delicate items like eggs and pancakes or premium searing and easy cleaning.
• Natural gas and LPG models, many supplied with LPG kits, for flexible installation on or off site.
• Heavy-duty commercial units from brands such as Bartscher, CombiSteel, Cookrite, Lincat and Chefsrange.
• Combi grill and grid griddle designs for mixed menus, from burgers and steaks to vegetables and breakfast items.

How to choose the right Gas Griddles

• Start with cooking capacity: match plate width and depth to your peak service, from compact 400 mm units to wide 800 mm and multi-burner models.
• Decide between countertop and freestanding gas griddles based on available space, ventilation layout and whether the unit will be fixed or mobile.
• Choose plate style carefully: smooth plates suit eggs, pancakes and paninis, while chrome plates offer faster heat-up, better heat retention and easier cleaning.
• Select the correct gas type, ensuring compatibility with your site supply and opting for LPG-ready models for food trucks, pop-ups or outdoor cooking.
• Consider control layout and heat zones so you can run different temperatures across the plate for varied menu items.
• Look for durable construction, splash guards, fat drawers and easy-access components to support heavy daily use in Irish hospitality.

Care and maintenance

• Season and clean the plate regularly, following the manufacturer guidelines, to prevent sticking and maintain an even cooking surface.
• Allow the griddle to cool slightly before scraping down and wiping with a damp cloth; avoid excessive water that can damage components.
• Use non-abrasive tools and approved cleaning products, especially on chrome plates, to avoid scratching and loss of performance.
• Empty and clean grease trays and fat drawers frequently to reduce fire risk and maintain hygiene standards.
• Schedule periodic checks of gas connections, burners and ignition systems by a qualified gas technician for safe operation.
• Ensure adequate ventilation and keep surrounding areas clear of clutter to protect staff and comply with safety regulations.
