Parry CGR2 Large Electric Griddle — Steel Plate

The Parry CGR2 is a large-format electric griddle fitted with a polished steel cooking plate. It is intended for commercial kitchens where griddle cooking is a regular part of the menu — breakfasts, burgers, eggs, flatbreads, and similar items that benefit from direct contact with a flat, temperature-controlled surface. Thermostatic control is operated via a rotary knob, allowing the chef to set and hold a consistent surface temperature throughout service without constant adjustment.

Polished steel holds heat well under load. When cooking in batches during a busy service period, the plate recovers quickly enough to maintain consistent results between orders — which matters in a breakfast or brunch operation where the griddle may barely rest between covers. The thermostat gives the operator enough flexibility to adapt surface temperature to different menu items, useful when switching between products that require different cooking conditions.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the CGR2 offers several practical advantages:

• Thermostatic control supports consistent results across consecutive covers
• Polished steel plate cleans down efficiently between and after service
• Removable fat drawer simplifies grease collection and end-of-day hygiene routines
• Electric operation means no gas supply or gas-specific interlocked ventilation is required
• Counter-top format fits into kitchens where space or infrastructure limits a range-mounted unit

As an electric appliance, the CGR2 requires a suitable electrical supply at the point of installation. It should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate overhead ventilation in place — standard practice for any cooking equipment. There is no gas connection required, which can ease installation on sites where gas infrastructure is limited. It is worth confirming your available electrical supply before ordering to avoid any compatibility issues on delivery.

The CGR2 is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens, and small to medium restaurant kitchens where griddle cooking is a regular but not continuous high-volume requirement. For operations running back-to-back service across multiple menu lines throughout the day, a heavier-duty or larger-format griddle may be worth considering. Equally, for very light or occasional use, a smaller unit may be more practical.
