  • Cons: As it's hardwired, professional installation is an absolute must-have.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Salty Squid', a popular seaside bistro in Cornwall, was struggling to keep up with breakfast and  lunch orders using their old, smaller griddle.

"The dual zone on this Buffalo griddle is brilliant. We can have bacon sizzling away on one side and  gently cook eggs on the other. It's cut our ticket times down massively and  the food is more consistent."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

Since installing the Buffalo CU475, they've successfully reduced average customer wait times by over 25% during their peak summer season.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always use a qualified commercial electrician for installation, as this unit must be hardwired.
  • Place the griddle on a stable, level, and  non-combustible countertop with plenty of ventilation around it.
  • Before the first use, be sure to 'season' the mild steel plate according to the manufacturer's manual. This creates a natural non-stick surface.
  • Check that the fat collection drawer is properly fitted in place before you switch it on.

Keeping It Going

  • For the easiest clean, tackle the griddle plate while it's still warm (not scorching hot!) with a scraper and  a purpose-made griddle pad.
  • Empty and  wash the fat collection drawer daily to maintain top hygiene standards and  prevent any nasty overflows.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior regularly with a soft cloth and  a food-safe cleaning spray.
  • Periodically re-season the cooking plate to protect it from rust and  keep its fantastic non-stick quality.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Griddle

Not sure which griddle is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the perfect match.

Gas vs. Electric

Electric griddles like this one offer incredibly precise temperature control and  even heating, which is ideal for getting consistent results day after day.

Plate Size & Footprint

Think about your menu and  how busy you get. A 600mm commercial electric griddle is a fantastic sweet spot for small to medium businesses, offering great output without taking up your entire counter.

Plate Material

The mild steel plate on this model is a champion at retaining heat, making it perfect for non-stop cooking during a busy rush. It keeps its temperature even when you load it with cold food.

Smooth vs. Ribbed Surface

A smooth plate, like this one, gives maximum contact for a perfect all-over sear. It's the go-to for eggs, pancakes, smash burgers, and  chopped veg.

Single vs. Dual Zone Control

A dual zone griddle offers amazing versatility. Being able to cook different items at different temperatures at the same time is a huge efficiency boost for any kitchen with a varied menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this griddle need to be professionally installed?

A: Yes, absolutely. This is a powerful, hardwired unit and  must be installed by a qualified commercial electrician for safety and  compliance.

Q: What is the cooking plate made of?

A: The plate is made from 10mm thick mild steel, which is brilliant for retaining and  distributing heat evenly across the whole surface.

Q: Can I cook different foods on it at the same time?

A: Yes, that's the main benefit of its dual zone design. Each half of the griddle has its own independent temperature control, so you can sear on one side and  warm on the other.

Q: How do I clean the griddle?

A: It's easiest to clean while still warm. Use a griddle scraper for any food debris, followed by a griddle cleaning block or pad and  a little water or oil.

Q: Is the stand shown in some pictures included?

A: No, this is a countertop unit designed to sit on your existing work surface. The compatible base cupboard is sold separately.

Q: How big is the fat collection drawer?

A: It has a generous 1-litre capacity, which is usually more than enough to get through a busy service before it needs emptying.

Q: Can this run on a normal 13-amp plug?

A: No, it's far too powerful. It's a 4.5kW appliance that must be hardwired directly into your kitchen's mains supply by an electrician.

Q: What's the benefit of a smooth plate?

A: A smooth plate provides the maximum contact between the heat source and  the food, leading to faster cooking times and  an even crust. It's perfect for eggs, pancakes, and  burgers.

How Dual Zone Cooking Boosts Your Kitchen's Efficiency

Ever wished you had two griddles but only have space for one? That's exactly what a dual zone griddle gives you. Think of it like the hob on your cooker at home – you can have one ring on full blast for boiling potatoes while another gently simmers a sauce. This Buffalo dual zone griddle applies the same logic to a professional cooking surface. You can have one side roaring at a high temperature for searing steaks or getting a quick colour on burgers, while the other side is set to a lower temperature to gently cook eggs, warm burger buns, or hold grilled onions. It means more flexibility, less waiting around, and  perfectly cooked food every time, all from a single, space-saving unit.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Restaurants

    Ideal for searing steaks, fish, and  vegetables, this restaurant electric countertop griddle handles diverse menu demands effortlessly.

  • All-Day Cafés

    Perfect for switching from sizzling bacon and  eggs for the breakfast rush to toasting paninis for lunch.

  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks

    A compact but powerful workhorse for serving up quality hot food at events, festivals, and  street markets.

  • Pubs & Bars

    A great way to add a profitable hot food menu, such as burgers and  grilled sandwiches, without a full kitchen refit.
