Before you buy
- Choose thermostatic controls for foods that need a set temperature, such as eggs and pancakes, and manual controls if the cook adjusts heat by eye for burgers and searing.
- Compare plate thickness, since a thicker plate stores more heat and loses less temperature when cold food goes on but takes longer to heat up in the morning.
- Consider a chrome plate if you want less heat radiating into the kitchen and easier cleaning, keeping in mind it needs tools and cleaners that will not scratch the chrome.
- Check how many independent heat zones the griddle has, often one burner and control for every 12 inches of width on gas models, so eggs and burgers can cook side by side at different temperatures.
- Look at the grease trough and drawer size, since a busy burger griddle fills a small drawer quickly.
Common questions
What is the difference between a manual and a thermostatic griddle?
- A manual griddle's control sets the heat output, like a burner valve, so the plate cools as food goes on until the cook turns it up. A thermostatic griddle holds the plate near a set temperature and adds heat on its own as food cools it. Thermostatic control suits mixed menus and newer cooks, while manual control is simple and responsive.
How do you season a new steel griddle?
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions, but most steel griddles are cleaned, coated with a thin layer of high smoke point oil and heated until the oil bakes onto the surface, repeated a few times. Seasoning helps food release and protects the steel. Chrome griddles are generally not seasoned the same way, so check the manual.
Is a griddle or a charbroiler better for burgers?
- Both work. A griddle gives a full-surface sear and crust, handles smashed patties and lets you toast buns and cook onions alongside. A charbroiler gives grill marks and a smoky, char-grilled flavour but produces more smoke and flare-ups. Most burger kitchens choose by the style of burger on the menu.
