Buffalo Extra Wide Griddle Steel Plate | 738x330mm

The Buffalo Extra Wide Griddle is a countertop electric contact griddle with a 738x330mm flat steel cooking surface. It runs on a 2.9kW element and features two independently controlled heating zones, allowing different areas of the plate to be set at different temperatures simultaneously. Construction is in 430 stainless steel throughout, with side splash guards and a removable drip tray included as standard.

In a working kitchen, the independently zoned plate means you can hold cooked items at a lower temperature on one side while cooking fresh product on the other — useful during a busy breakfast or brunch service where timing across multiple items matters. The wide format suits kitchens running eggs, bacon, pancakes, or flat-bread items in volume, where a narrower griddle would create a bottleneck. Recovery after loading is reasonable for a unit at this power level, though operators with very high continuous throughput should factor that into their assessment.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Two independent temperature zones for flexible simultaneous cooking
• Side splash guards protecting surrounding surfaces during shallow frying
• Removable drip tray making grease management straightforward between service periods
• Flat stainless steel plate that cleans down quickly with a scraper and cloth
• Countertop format requiring no fixed installation — plugs into a standard commercial socket

Being a countertop unit, installation is straightforward — no gas connection, no extraction requirement beyond normal kitchen ventilation, and no fixed electrical work if a suitable socket is already in position. At 32.5kg it is manageable to reposition if needed. The footprint is wider than a standard griddle, so bench space should be confirmed before ordering.

This griddle is well suited to cafés, hotel kitchens, and pub catering operations running regular breakfast or grill menus. It works well as a primary griddle in a smaller kitchen or as a supplementary unit in a larger operation. For sites running very high-volume continuous service, a heavier-duty model with a higher power rating may be a better long-term fit.

If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or bench configuration, the team are happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
