Product Description
The Buffalo 600 Series Electric Griddle is a compact, smooth-plate griddle designed for consistent, controlled cooking across breakfast, brunch, and all-day service menus. It operates from a standard electrical supply and sits comfortably on a countertop, making it a practical addition to kitchens where space is at a premium but cooking versatility is still required.
The 10mm mild steel plate retains and distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, which matters in practice — cold spots cause inconsistent results and slow service. The 3kW element brings the plate up to temperature quickly and supports reasonable recovery between batches, which is adequate for moderate-volume services. It is worth noting that at 400mm wide, this is a single-operator griddle suited to kitchens handling steady rather than high-intensity throughput. Sites running very busy griddle service across multiple covers simultaneously may find a wider unit more appropriate.
From an operational standpoint, the griddle offers several practical advantages:
- Even heat distribution across the mild steel plate for consistent results
- Built-in fat collection drawer makes mid-service cleaning straightforward
- Side and rear splash guards help keep adjacent surfaces cleaner during service
- Fully welded stainless steel construction withstands daily commercial use
- Compact footprint suits counter space where larger equipment would not fit
Installation is straightforward — the unit requires only a suitable electrical connection and adequate ventilation above the cooking area, as with any open cooking surface. It does not require a fixed water supply or gas connection. Ensure the countertop surface is stable and rated for the unit's weight before positioning.
This griddle is well suited to cafés, small hotels, pub kitchens, and catering operations running moderate breakfast or light lunch services. For higher-volume sites or operations where the griddle is a primary cooking station under sustained pressure, a heavier-duty or wider model would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether the 400mm plate suits your service volumes or kitchen layout, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The 400mm cooking surface is well suited to kitchens running a steady breakfast trade — a small hotel, café, or pub kitchen producing covers at a manageable pace. If your breakfast service runs at high intensity with multiple items cooking simultaneously and minimal gaps between orders, a wider griddle would give you more working surface and reduce the risk of bottlenecks during peak periods.
- The unit is a plug-in electric appliance, so installation is straightforward — you need a suitable electrical supply capable of handling the 3kW load, and adequate ventilation above the cooking area, typically via an extraction canopy. There is no gas connection or fixed water supply required. Make sure the counter surface is stable and appropriate for the unit's weight before positioning it.
- Mild steel plates are the standard choice for general griddle cooking — they handle high temperatures well, develop a natural seasoning over time that can aid cooking performance, and are straightforward to maintain with regular cleaning. Chrome plates are better suited to delicate items where sticking is a concern, and tend to be easier to wipe clean but require more care to avoid surface damage. For a mixed breakfast and light lunch menu, mild steel is a practical and durable choice.
