Gas or electric griddles provide flat top cooking ideal for commercial kitchens that require versatility. Griddles are the cornerstone of every fast running commercial kitchen and can serve up eggs and bacon to burgers, chops and steaks. Griddles offer variable griddle plate thicknesses to support volume, and options like manual or thermostatic controls and piezo or electronic ignition for gas griddles. Standard griddles typically have evenly spaced heating elements every 6 or 12 inches. Teppanyaki griddles typically have a centered U shaped element, intentionally leaving cool spots along the edges.
