Expert Review and Insights
The Blaze BLZ3 is a real powerhouse. It's not cluttered with fancy electronics; it’s just pure, reliable cooking muscle. The thick plate is fantastic for holding temperature during a frantic service, and the manual dials give chefs that tactile control they love. A solid, dependable choice for any professional kitchen.

- Con: Manual controls mean less automation than some premium digital models.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Bistro in York was struggling with an ageing griddle that created serious bottlenecks during their popular weekend brunch service. They needed a replacement that could keep up with demand.
The Blaze BLZ3 has been brilliant. It gets up to temperature quickly and, more importantly, it stays there. We can now handle twice the number of breakfast orders in the same amount of time, without any frustrating cold spots. Our customers are getting their food faster, and the kitchen is far less stressed.
Michael Edwards – Head Chef
The new griddle helped The Old Mill Bistro reduce average ticket times by 25% during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For your safety and compliance, always use a qualified Gas Safe engineer for installation.
- Position the unit on a stable, level, non-combustible countertop with plenty of ventilation.
- Use the adjustable legs to ensure the griddle surface is perfectly flat for even cooking.
- Before its first proper use, season the steel plate according to the manufacturer's guide to create a non-stick surface.
Keeping It Going
- Scrape down the surface with a griddle scraper after each session while it's still warm (but not hot!).
- Remember to empty and clean the front-facing grease collection tray daily to prevent build-up.
- Wipe down the stainless steel body with a soft cloth and a suitable cleaner to keep it looking smart.
- We recommend an annual service by a qualified engineer to check burners, connections, and overall performance.
