Buffalo 600 Series Freestanding Electric Griddle 600mm

The Buffalo 600 Series electric griddle is a freestanding, dual-zone cooking unit built around a 10mm mild steel plate. It runs on a hardwired three-phase supply and is designed to handle continuous griddle work across breakfast, lunch and dinner services. The two independently controlled cooking zones allow the plate to be used flexibly depending on what the service demands at any given moment.

In a working kitchen environment, the thick mild steel plate earns its place by holding heat consistently across the surface. Once up to temperature, it recovers well between batches — an important quality when cooking eggs, bacon, burgers or pancakes at pace. The independent zone controls mean one side can be set lower for holding or gentle cooking whilst the other runs hotter for searing or grilling, which is a practical arrangement during a busy brunch or all-day service where the menu mixes items with different heat requirements.

From an operational standpoint, several features support daily use:

• Dual zone control allows different temperatures across each half of the plate simultaneously
• One zone can be powered down during quieter periods to reduce running costs
• Splash guards to the side and rear help contain grease and protect nearby surfaces
• The stainless steel cupboard base provides useful storage at the point of use
• Adjustable feet allow levelling on uneven kitchen floors

Installation requires a hardwired three-phase 400V connection, so an appropriately rated electrical supply must be in place before installation. It is not suitable for single-phase supplies. At just over 35kg, the unit is manageable to position, but the cupboard base means it occupies a full 600mm section of cook line. It sits within the Buffalo 600 Series range, which is designed so that units of the same series can be lined up to form a cohesive cooking suite.

This griddle is well suited to small-to-medium cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens and staff restaurants where griddle cooking features regularly across service periods. It is a practical entry point into dedicated griddle cooking rather than relying on a range-top griddle plate. For higher-volume sites running extended griddle-heavy menus, a heavier-duty or wider unit may be worth considering.
