The Buffalo Extra Wide Electric Griddle is a cast iron contact griddle designed for commercial kitchen use. Its wide cooking surface is split into two independently controlled zones, each with its own temperature dial, allowing operators to run different heat levels across the plate simultaneously. The 3kW element provides the power needed to bring the iron mass up to temperature and maintain it through sustained use.

Cast iron griddle plates are well regarded in commercial kitchens for their ability to hold and distribute heat evenly. Once properly seasoned, the plate develops a natural non-stick quality that improves with use — an advantage for bacon, eggs, burgers, and flatbreads, where consistent surface contact matters. During busy breakfast services or lunchtime snack runs, the thermal mass of cast iron helps the plate recover between batches without the surface temperature dropping sharply.

From a practical operational standpoint, this griddle suits a range of service environments:

  • Independent dual-zone controls allow different items to cook simultaneously at different temperatures
  • Cast iron plate improves with seasoning, reducing sticking over time
  • Wide cooking surface supports volume output during peak service periods
  • Drip tray channels grease away from the cooking zone for cleaner service
  • Straightforward controls and surface design make end-of-service cleaning manageable

As an electric unit drawing 3kW, this griddle will typically run from a 13A connection, though installation on a dedicated circuit is worth confirming with an electrician depending on your kitchen's existing load. The unit sits on a countertop and requires adequate clearance around it for ventilation and safe working. At 615mm wide, it occupies meaningful bench space, so it's worth assessing worktop availability before ordering.

This griddle is well suited to cafés, small hotels, pub kitchens, and fast food operations running regular breakfast or snack service. For sites with significantly higher throughput — such as contract catering operations or large hotel kitchen operations — a heavier-duty or larger-format model may be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this unit will handle your typical service volumes or have questions about fitting it into your existing setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is this griddle suitable for a high-volume breakfast service?

It performs well in moderate to busy breakfast services — the cast iron plate retains heat effectively and recovers between batches better than thinner steel surfaces. For very high-volume operations turning out continuous covers, a larger or heavier-duty model may be more appropriate; it's worth discussing your expected throughput with us before ordering.

What are the electrical installation requirements for this griddle?

The unit draws 3kW and will typically operate from a 13A supply, but we'd always recommend confirming with a qualified electrician whether a dedicated circuit is needed given your kitchen's existing load. As a countertop appliance, no fixed installation is required beyond a suitable power connection.

How do you season and maintain a cast iron griddle plate?

New cast iron plates should be seasoned before first use by applying a thin layer of cooking oil and heating the plate until it smokes off — repeating this a few times builds up the surface. For daily maintenance, scrape the plate clean while still warm, wipe with a lightly oiled cloth, and avoid harsh detergents that strip the seasoning. A well-maintained cast iron surface becomes more effective over time.
