Parry 3013 Electric Griddle | Flat Steel Plate Commercial Griddle

The Parry 3013 is a countertop electric griddle built for commercial kitchen use. It features a polished flat steel cooking plate designed to distribute heat evenly across the surface, with thermostatic control operated via a rotary knob. A removable fat drawer sits beneath the plate to collect drippings, making end-of-service cleaning more straightforward. The unit draws on two separate 3kW supplies, so installation requires adequate electrical provision at the point of use.

In a working kitchen environment, a flat steel griddle of this type is a reliable workhorse for continuous cooking across a range of proteins, vegetables, and breakfast items. The polished plate holds temperature well once up to heat, and the thermostat allows the operator to dial in consistent surface temperatures rather than relying on judgement alone. Recovery after a batch of cold product is a relevant consideration during busy service, and the combined 6kW loading helps maintain working temperatures through moderate to high throughput.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:

• 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 daily cleaning and hygiene compliance
• Countertop format fits into existing pass or cooking line layouts
• All-electric operation suits sites without a gas supply or gas-restricted areas

On the installation side, the unit requires a dedicated electrical supply capable of supporting two 3kW connections. It is worth confirming your existing supply can accommodate this before ordering. As a countertop unit, it sits on a solid, heat-resistant surface and requires adequate clearance around and above it in line with your kitchen's ventilation and fire suppression requirements.

The Parry 3013 is a practical choice for cafés, pub kitchens, school canteens, and smaller restaurant operations cooking at moderate volume. It is particularly well suited to all-day breakfast menus, burger cooklines, and snack service. For higher-volume sites running extended service periods or cooking in very large batches, a heavier-duty or larger-plate model may be worth considering. Equally, if your throughput is modest, there are smaller options in the griddle range that may represent a better fit for your space and power capacity.
