Parry CGR2 Large Electric Griddle — Commercial Steel Plate

The Parry CGR2 is a large electric griddle built for commercial kitchen use. It features a polished steel cooking plate designed to distribute heat evenly across the surface, with thermostatic control operated via a rotary knob so the chef can set and maintain a consistent cooking temperature throughout service.

In a busy kitchen environment, even heat distribution matters. A polished steel plate holds temperature well under load, which helps maintain consistent results when cooking in batches — whether that's burgers, bacon, eggs, or flatbreads. The thermostat allows the operator to adapt the surface temperature to different menu items without the guesswork, which is particularly useful during a varied breakfast or brunch service where multiple products may be cooked back to back.

From a practical standpoint, the CGR2 offers a number of day-to-day advantages:

• Thermostatic control helps reduce overcooking and maintain consistency across covers
• Polished steel plate surface is straightforward to clean down between services
• Removable fat drawer simplifies grease collection and end-of-day cleaning
• Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply or interlocked ventilation specific to gas appliances
• Compact enough for counter or range-top positioning in kitchens with limited space

As an electric unit, the CGR2 requires a suitable electrical supply and should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface. It does not require a gas connection, which can simplify installation in sites where gas infrastructure is limited or absent. It is worth confirming the available electrical supply before ordering, and ensuring adequate ventilation is in place above the cooking position as standard kitchen practice.

The CGR2 is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens, and small to medium restaurant kitchens where griddle cooking forms a regular part of the menu but does not require a full commercial range-mounted griddle. For higher-volume sites running continuous service across multiple menu lines, a heavier-duty or larger-format griddle may be a more appropriate choice.
