Parry CGR2 Large Electric Griddle — Steel Plate

The Parry CGR2 is a large-format countertop electric griddle fitted with a polished steel cooking plate. It is designed 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, evenly heated surface. Thermostatic control via a rotary knob allows the chef to set and hold a consistent surface temperature throughout service without constant manual adjustment.

Polished steel holds and distributes heat well under load. During a busy breakfast or brunch operation — where the griddle may see little rest between covers — the plate recovers reliably between batches, helping to keep results consistent from the first order to the last. The thermostat also gives the operator enough range to adapt to different menu items as they switch between products requiring different surface temperatures.

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

• Thermostatic control supports consistent cooking 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 removes the need for a gas supply or gas-interlocked ventilation
• Countertop format suits 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 — standard practice for any cooking equipment. There is no gas connection required, which can simplify installation on sites where gas infrastructure is absent or restricted. 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 unit may be worth considering. Equally, for very light or occasional use, a smaller model may be more practical.

If you are unsure whether the CGR2 is the right fit for your service volumes and kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
