Product Description
The Parry 3013 is a countertop electric griddle fitted with a polished flat steel cooking plate. It is controlled by a rotary thermostat and collects drippings via a removable fat drawer beneath the plate. The unit draws from two separate electrical supplies, and its all-electric operation makes it a practical option for sites without a gas connection or where gas is restricted.
In a working kitchen, a flat steel griddle of this type tends to be one of the more reliable pieces of kit on the cookline. The polished plate holds heat well once it reaches working temperature, and the thermostat helps operators maintain a consistent surface temperature throughout service rather than relying on guesswork. During busy periods, the combined 6kW loading supports reasonable recovery when cold product is placed on the plate, keeping throughput steady across moderate to high-volume service.
The main operational advantages worth noting:
- Even heat distribution across the steel plate for consistent cooking results
- Thermostat control reduces the risk of scorching during quieter periods
- Removable fat drawer simplifies end-of-service cleaning and supports hygiene compliance
- Countertop format integrates readily into an existing pass or cooking line
- All-electric operation suits sites where gas supply is unavailable or restricted
On the installation side, the unit requires a dedicated electrical supply capable of supporting two separate 3kW connections. It is worth confirming your existing electrical provision can accommodate this before ordering. As a countertop unit, it needs a solid, heat-resistant surface and adequate clearance above and around it to meet your kitchen's ventilation and fire suppression requirements.
The Parry 3013 is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, school canteens, and smaller restaurant operations running at moderate volume. It handles all-day breakfast menus, burger cooklines, and snack service comfortably. For sites running extended service periods at very high volume, a larger-plate or heavier-duty model may be a better fit. If your throughput is modest, there are smaller griddles in the range that may suit your space and electrical capacity more efficiently.
If you are weighing up whether this griddle matches your service style or want to talk through your electrical setup, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The unit draws from two separate 3kW supplies, giving a combined load of 6kW. Before ordering, it is worth confirming with your electrician that your existing supply at the point of installation can support this, as a dedicated circuit is typically needed rather than a standard socket outlet.
- The Parry 3013 handles moderate to reasonably high throughput well, making it a practical choice for all-day breakfast operations, pub kitchens, and café cooklines. For sites running very extended service periods with large batch sizes back to back, it may be worth considering a heavier-duty or wider-plate model to maintain recovery times and throughput.
- The removable fat drawer beneath the plate is the main design feature that aids daily cleaning, as it collects drippings throughout service and can be removed and emptied without difficulty. The polished steel plate itself is cleaned in the usual way for commercial griddles — scraping down whilst still warm and wiping clear — which keeps end-of-service time relatively short.
