Gas, electric—thermostatic, or manually-controlled; Serv-U has got the griddle for your commercial kitchen! These surprisingly versatile machines can do almost anything a frying pan can do, and often with a healthier result. If it suits your needs, you can even buy griddles or griddle pans that you simply heat over your commercial stove’s burners.

Choose from griddles that are as small as 12” wide to griddles spanning a full six feet across. Many come with independent temperature controls at one-foot intervals; this allows operators to cook at different temperatures on different parts of the same griddle.
Unlike frying pans, griddles allow excess grease to drain away from the food, leaving great taste with less fat. With today’s consumer more and more focused on healthier alternatives, a griddle can allow you the flexibility to create the same dishes you normally make, but in a lower-fat version.
As with many pieces of restaurant equipment, you want to look for quality construction when considering what model works best for your establishment. Stainless steel is highly durable and commonly used in commercial kitchen equipment. Griddle plates are often made of steel between ¾” and 1” thick. Some griddles have a chromium surface that improves the griddle’s efficiency while making it easier to clean. Look for the NSF label; a foodservice product that is NSF-certified has passed food safety tests.
