Product Description
The Buffalo 525mm electric griddle is a countertop griddling unit built around a flat steel cooking plate heated by a single electric element. It is a self-contained, plug-in unit designed for light to medium-volume griddling across a broad range of foods — bacon and eggs at breakfast, burgers and vegetables through the day, and pressed sandwiches during quieter periods.
In a working kitchen, the griddle performs consistently where controlled, steady heat matters more than rapid, high-volume recovery. The steel plate reaches a broad usable range and holds temperature well once up to heat during a steady flow of orders. It is not suited to sustained back-to-back throughput on a dedicated grill menu — for that, a heavier-duty or larger unit would be a more appropriate choice. Where griddling is one element of a broader menu rather than the primary cooking method, this unit handles the workload reliably.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, a few practical points stand out:
- Dial temperature control allows quick adjustment during service without interruption
- Front grease channel and removable drawer make ongoing cleaning straightforward
- Non-slip rubber feet keep the unit stable on a countertop through service
- 430 stainless steel construction holds up well to the demands of daily kitchen use
Installation is uncomplicated. The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply with no gas or specialist wiring required. At 20kg it is manageable to move and reposition, which suits mobile catering setups and event kitchens as well as fixed sites. No dedicated ventilation is needed beyond standard kitchen extraction, though positioning under or near an extraction canopy is advisable when cooking grease-heavy foods.
This griddle is well suited to smaller commercial operations — cafes, B&Bs, staff canteens, market traders, and mobile units — where counter space is at a premium and griddling forms part of a wider menu. Operators running a high-volume grill-focused service would be better served by a larger or more powerful unit.
If you are weighing up whether this capacity and format fits your kitchen's requirements, the team is glad to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It performs well in light to medium-volume service where griddling is one part of a broader menu. If your kitchen runs a dedicated grill-heavy menu with continuous back-to-back orders, a larger or higher-powered unit would recover more quickly and handle the throughput more comfortably.
- The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply and is designed to plug in without specialist wiring. It is worth confirming the socket rating at your intended location is appropriate before installation — if you are unsure, your electrician can advise.
- Yes — at 20kg and with a straightforward plug-in setup, it is practical for mobile catering trailers, food vans, and temporary event kitchens. Ensure adequate ventilation or extraction is in place wherever it is used, particularly when cooking grease-heavy foods.
