Electric griddles suit kitchens and food trucks with no gas line or hood. A 120 V model plugs into a standard 15 A outlet but is limited to about 1,800 W, enough for a 14 to 16 in plate. Wider ones, such as the Winco EGD-36M and Crosson EG-918C, need a 208 or 240 V circuit and put 6,600 to 8,400 W into a 36 in plate, with a thermostat for each zone. The cheapest models here carry no safety or sanitation listing, so check what the local health code requires before buying one for an inspected kitchen.
