Buffalo has a reputation for building solid, no-fuss equipment, and  this griddle oven combo is a prime example. It’s a proper workhorse that cleverly solves the space issue many kitchens face.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Best of Both Worlds: Excellent dual-functionality without compromising the performance of either the griddle or oven.
  • Hardwired Installation: Requires a professional electrician, so you can't just plug it in and  go.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Chef's Table, a bustling bistro in York, was struggling with a cramped kitchen and  separate, ageing appliances. They upgraded to the Buffalo 600 Series unit to consolidate their cooking line and  increase their capacity for their popular brunch and  dinner services.

"It immediately streamlined our whole operation. We can have bacon and  eggs sizzling on top while our signature pies are baking below. The kitchen feels less chaotic, and  the food gets out to the customers faster. It’s been a brilliant addition."

David Thompson – Head Chef

Since installation, The Chef's Table has reduced average ticket times during peak hours by 25% and  added three new baked items to their menu.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit is hardwired and  requires installation by a qualified commercial electrician to ensure safety and  compliance.
  • Ensure it's placed on a stable, level, and  non-combustible surface.
  • Leave adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
  • Before first use, 'season' the griddle plate according to the manual to create a non-stick surface.

Keeping It Going

  • Scrape the griddle plate clean with a suitable tool while it's still warm after each service.
  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Empty and  clean the fat collection drawer regularly to prevent build-up and  fire risk.
  • Check oven door seals periodically for any wear and  tear to maintain heat efficiency.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Electric Griddle Oven

Not sure if this is the right model for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider when choosing a griddle oven combo.

Measure Your Space

This is a 600mm wide unit, which is fantastic for saving space. Always measure your intended spot first, and  don't forget to account for ventilation clearance at the back and  sides.

Check Your Power Supply

This unit needs both a three-phase supply for the griddle and  a single-phase supply for the oven, and  must be hardwired. Check with your electrician that your kitchen can support this before you buy.

Consider Your Menu

The combination of a dual-zone griddle and  a convection oven is incredibly versatile. It's ideal for menus that feature grilled items (burgers, breakfasts) alongside baked goods (pies, jacket potatoes, bread).

Think About Cleaning

Look for features that make life easier. The stainless steel body and  fully welded griddle plate on this model are designed to minimise dirt traps and  speed up your end-of-day clean-down routine.

Durability is Key

A heavy duty electric griddle with base oven is an investment. A strong stainless steel chassis, robust controls, and  a thick oven door, like on this Buffalo model, are signs of a machine built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the benefit of a fan-assisted oven?

A: A fan circulates the hot air inside the oven, which eliminates hot spots and  ensures food cooks more evenly and  often a little faster than in a static oven. It's brilliant for baking.

Q: Can I cook on the griddle and  use the oven at the same time?

A: Yes, absolutely. They are controlled independently, so you can have both operating at different temperatures simultaneously.

Q: What does 'dual zone' on the griddle mean?

A: It means the griddle plate is split into two sections (left and  right), each with its own temperature control. This allows you to cook two different types of food at their ideal temperatures at once.

Q: Is the stainless steel easy to keep clean?

A: Yes, stainless steel is the industry standard for commercial kitchens because it's non-porous, hard-wearing, and  easy to sanitise with standard cleaning products.

Q: Do I need a professional to install this?

A: Yes. This unit must be hardwired into your kitchen's electrical supply by a qualified electrician. It is not a standard 'plug-in' appliance.

Q: What is the maximum temperature?

A: Both the griddle and  the oven can reach a maximum temperature of 300°C, giving you plenty of power for searing and  high-temperature baking.

Q: How big is the oven cavity?

A: The oven is designed to take Gastronorm GN 1/1 pans, making it a standard size for most professional cookware.

Q: What are the splash guards for?

A: The raised edges at the back and  sides of the griddle help to contain grease and  food splatter, keeping the surrounding area cleaner and  safer.

How Dual-Zone Griddling Maximises Your Menu

Ever wished you could gently warm some burger buns on one side of your griddle while searing steaks at a high heat on the other? That's exactly what a dual-zone griddle lets you do. Think of it like the dual-zone climate control in a car, where the driver and  passenger can set their own temperatures. This unit has two separate sets of controls for the left and  right sides of the griddle plate.

This means you can have one zone on a low, steady heat for delicate items like eggs or fish, and  the other zone cranked up high for that perfect char on meats and  vegetables—all at the same time. It's a simple feature that gives you incredible flexibility, letting you cook more efficiently and  get different components of a dish ready simultaneously without juggling pans or constantly adjusting a single thermostat.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs & Bistros: Perfect for diverse menus, letting you grill signature burgers while baking fresh dinner rolls below.
  • Busy City Cafés: An ideal space-saver for cooking full English breakfasts on the griddle and  pastries in the oven.
  • Mobile Catering Vans: A compact, heavy duty electric griddle with base oven that provides a complete cooking station in a tight space.
  • Community Centres & Halls: A reliable and  easy-to-use unit for cooking for events, from fry-ups to baked potatoes.
