Expert Review and  Insights

Buffalo has a solid reputation for creating gear that can take a real beating in a commercial environment, and  this griddle is no exception. It’s not flashy, but it’s incredibly practical. The dual-zone control is a massive plus for versatility during a packed service, and  the build quality feels like it's made to last for years, not just seasons.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Top Mark: The dual heat zones are brilliant for multitasking during a busy rush.
  • Heads Up: It requires hardwiring, so factor in installation by a qualified electrician.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Full Monty Café" in Manchester was struggling with an old, undersized griddle that created bottlenecks during their popular weekend brunch service. They needed a more powerful and  versatile solution to keep up with customer demand and  improve ticket times.

"Since we installed the Buffalo griddle, our kitchen flow has been transformed. We can have bacon sizzling on one side and  pancakes gently cooking on the other. The consistency is spot on, and  the heat retention means we're never waiting for it to catch up."

Robert Green – Owner, The Full Monty Café

The new setup has helped them reduce customer wait times for food by over 30% during their busiest periods, leading to higher table turnover and  happier regulars.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit is hardwired. Installation must be completed by a qualified commercial electrician.
  • Position on a flat, stable surface away from flammable materials.
  • Use the adjustable feet to ensure the griddle is perfectly level for even cooking.
  • Before first use, 'season' the mild steel plate by lightly coating it with cooking oil and  heating it for 15-20 minutes.

Keeping It Going

  • After each use, scrape down the hot plate with a griddle scraper to remove food debris.
  • Clean the cooled surface with a damp cloth and  mild detergent. Always re-season with oil after cleaning with water.
  • Empty and  clean the front-access fat collection drawer daily to maintain hygiene and  prevent overflow.
  • Periodically check that the unit is still level and  that the electrical connections remain secure.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Griddle

Feeling the heat choosing a griddle? We're here to help you find the perfect match for your kitchen.

Plate Size & Footprint

Consider your menu and  peak volume. A 600mm griddle is a great all-rounder, but if you have a huge breakfast trade, you might need a larger 900mm model.

Power Source: Gas vs Electric

Electric griddles, like this Buffalo 600 Series griddle, offer precise temperature control and  are often easier to install in sites without gas lines. Gas offers raw power and  rapid heat-up.

Plate Surface: Smooth vs Ribbed

Smooth plates (like this one) are fantastic all-rounders for eggs, pancakes, and  smash burgers. Ribbed plates are great for giving meat those classic char-grill marks.

Plate Material: Steel vs Chrome

Mild steel is a brilliant heat conductor and  very durable. Chrome plates offer a more non-stick surface and  transfer less flavour between foods, but often come at a higher price.

Heat Control: Thermostatic vs Manual

Thermostatic controls (featured here) automatically cycle power to maintain a set temperature, giving you consistency. Manual controls are simpler but require more operator attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'hardwired' mean?

A: It means the appliance needs to be permanently connected to the mains electricity by a qualified electrician, rather than simply plugging into a standard socket.

Q: Is this a freestanding or countertop model?

A: This is a freestanding model, complete with an integrated base stand that provides useful storage space for pans and  utensils.

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

A: Absolutely. Thanks to the dual independent heat zones, you can set two different temperatures on the left and  right sides of the cooking plate.

Q: How do I season the griddle plate?

A: Clean the new plate, then apply a thin layer of cooking oil. Heat the griddle to around 150-200°C for 20-30 minutes until the oil has baked on. Let it cool and  wipe away any excess.

Q: What is the benefit of a 10mm thick plate?

A: A thicker plate retains heat exceptionally well. This means it won't lose temperature as quickly when you place cold food on it, ensuring faster, more consistent cooking.

Q: How often does the fat drawer need emptying?

A: This depends entirely on what you're cooking. For greasy items like bacon and  burgers, you should check and  empty it multiple times during a busy shift.

Q: What is the body of the griddle made from?

A: The main body and  stand are made from strong, easy-to-clean stainless steel, while the cooking plate itself is durable mild steel.

Q: Are the feet adjustable?

A: Yes, the unit comes with 150mm adjustable feet, allowing you to make it perfectly level and  match the height of your existing cook line.

What Customers Are Saying

"An absolute workhorse. Gets hot fast and  stays hot. The dual controls are a lifesaver for our breakfast and  lunch menu. Easy to clean too."

David Chen – The Corner Bistro, London

"Very solid bit of kit for the price. The storage underneath is more useful than I expected. Does the job perfectly for our burger nights."

Sarah Jones – Pub & Grill, Cardiff

How Dual Heat Zones Double Your Cooking Flexibility

Ever wished you had two griddles during a hectic service? That's essentially what dual heat zones give you. This feature splits the 600mm cooking surface into two independent sections, each with its own temperature dial. Think of it like having two separate pans on your hob, but on one seamless surface. You can have one side on a high heat (around 220°C) for searing burger patties, while the other side is on a gentle heat (around 150°C) to perfectly toast buns or slowly cook onions. It means you can manage different foods with different cooking requirements at the same time, massively boosting your kitchen's efficiency without needing extra space for more equipment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs

    Ideal for searing steaks, grilling fish, and  preparing multiple main course elements simultaneously during a busy evening service.

  • Busy Cafés

    Perfect for handling the 'full English' breakfast rush, grilling bacon, sausages, eggs, and  tomatoes all at once.

  • Takeaway & Burger Joints

    This 600mm freestanding electric griddle is a must for smashing patties and  toasting buns, keeping up with rapid-fire orders.

  • Mobile Caterers & Event Kitchens

    A robust, high-output unit that provides reliable cooking power for outdoor events, festivals, and  pop-up venues.
