Product Description
The Buffalo steel plate electric griddle is a countertop cooking unit designed for frying, sealing, and griddling a wide range of food items in a commercial kitchen environment. It uses a solid steel cooking plate heated by an electric element, with a thermostat to set and maintain working temperature and a thermal cut-out for safety. The on/off switch gives straightforward control over the unit during service.
In practice, this griddle suits operations where consistent surface cooking is needed throughout a service period. The steel plate holds heat reasonably well for steady-volume cooking — think breakfast service in a café, a small hotel kitchen, or a compact restaurant producing grilled items to order. The thermostat range gives operators enough flexibility to work across different food types without the plate being locked to a single temperature setting.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Simple thermostat control reduces the risk of overcooking during busy service
- Thermal cut-out provides an automatic safety layer if the unit overheats
- Solid steel plate is robust and straightforward to clean down between covers
- Countertop format keeps the footprint manageable in tighter kitchen layouts
- 430 stainless steel construction holds up to regular commercial use and cleaning routines
Installation is straightforward as a plug-in electric unit, but you should confirm your counter space and socket provision before ordering. The unit weighs 20kg, so positioning it sensibly at the start saves awkward repositioning later. It is not a high-output griddle intended for continuous heavy throughput — operators running a large breakfast operation or high-volume grill station may find a larger or more powerful unit better suited to the demand.
This griddle is a practical choice for cafés, small restaurants, hotel kitchens, and similar settings where moderate-volume griddling is a regular part of service. If you are unsure whether the cooking area or output matches your service volumes, it is worth having a conversation before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It handles steady-volume breakfast cooking well in smaller operations such as cafés or small hotel kitchens. For a high-throughput breakfast service running continuous covers, the cooking area and output may become a limiting factor, and a larger unit would be worth considering.
- The unit is a countertop electric griddle, so installation is straightforward — you need a suitable electrical socket with the correct supply to match the 2.2kW draw, and a stable surface that can support the 20kg weight. No gas connection or specialist ventilation is required, though working within a well-ventilated kitchen environment is always advisable.
- Steel plate griddles benefit from being seasoned with a light coat of oil when new and after deep cleans. Day-to-day, scraping down the plate while still warm and wiping with a cloth keeps the surface in good condition. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that can damage the plate surface over time.
