Expert Review and Insights
The Buffalo CR886 nails the brief for a straightforward, effective outdoor griddle. It’s not bogged down with bells and whistles; it’s a pure workhorse. The triple burner setup is its standout feature, giving chefs the sort of control you'd normally expect from a static kitchen unit, making it a brilliant asset for any pop-up or event catering business.
Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →
- Pros: Independent burner controls offer fantastic cooking flexibility and heat management.
- Cons: Being LPG-only, it's not suitable for sites without propane access.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Based in the scenic Lake District, 'Lakeside Bites' needed to upgrade their pop-up catering gear to cope with the summer tourist boom. Their old griddle was slow and unreliable, creating queues and frustrated customers.
"The Buffalo griddle was a breath of fresh air. It heats up in no time and the three zones let us cook veggie options separately from the meat. It's simple, tough, and just gets the job done without any fuss."
Anya Sharma – Owner, Lakeside Bites
The new setup allowed them to cut customer wait times by a third, leading to a significant increase in turnover during their busiest season.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always use the griddle on a flat, stable, and non-combustible surface outdoors.
- Check that the supplied regulator and hose are securely attached to both the griddle and the propane bottle before use.
- Before your first cook, perform a 'burn-off' by running the griddle on high for 15-20 minutes to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, keeping it clear of walls and flammable materials.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, clean the cooking surface while it's still warm (not hot!) using a griddle scraper and a damp cloth.
- Regularly check the burner tubes for any blockages from food debris or insects to ensure an even flame.
- After cleaning, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the steel plate to prevent rust, especially if storing for a while.
- Store the griddle in a dry, covered area when not in use to protect it from the elements.

The Buffalo Promise: Reliability When It Matters Most
When you're in the middle of a busy outdoor service, the last thing you need is equipment failure. That's where the Buffalo brand ethos shines. This griddle isn't just a collection of specs; it's a promise of reliability. Buffalo has built its reputation on creating tough, no-nonsense catering equipment that endures the rigours of daily commercial use. The CR886 embodies this principle with its simple, robust design that minimises potential points of failure. This focus on durability translates into real business value: less downtime, lower maintenance costs, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your gear will perform consistently, service after service. For mobile caterers and pubs, that consistency is key to building customer loyalty and a strong reputation.
Explore more from BuffaloMaster Your Cooktop: The Power of Independent Burners
Ever tried to cook delicate halloumi next to a sizzling steak on the same surface? With a single control, it's a nightmare. That's where the three independent burners on this griddle come into their own. Each of the three stainless steel burners has its own control knob, essentially splitting your griddle plate into three distinct heat zones.
Think of it like having three separate frying pans on a hob, but all on one large, continuous surface. You can have one zone on a high heat for searing burgers, the middle zone on a medium heat for cooking onions, and the third zone on a low heat just to keep cooked items warm. This level of control stops you from burning things, allows you to manage complex orders efficiently, and makes you a far more versatile chef.
Who Should Buy This?
- Mobile Caterers: Its portability and quick setup make it ideal for food trucks and market stalls at various locations.
- Pubs & Beer Gardens: Perfect for expanding your menu outdoors, serving up burgers and hot dogs on sunny afternoons.
- Event Organisers: A reliable outdoor catering gas griddle for festivals, country fairs, and outdoor corporate events.
- Sports Clubs: Great for cooking up post-match food for players and supporters at the clubhouse on match days.
