Best Thermostatic Commercial Griddles Ranked

A 36 in thermostatic electric griddle for restaurant lines without gas. It is the most powerful electric here for its size and listed for inspected kitchens.

A 36 in three-zone electric griddle for food trucks and kitchens with a 240 V circuit and no gas line. It costs well under half of a listed name-brand 36 in.

A listed 16 in plug-in griddle for a cafe, bar or concession stand that needs to pass inspection. The 1/2 in plate holds heat better than budget models.

A listed 14 in plug-in griddle from a familiar name, for a small cafe or bar menu. Similar listed 120 V griddles cost about half as much.

A 24 in two-zone electric griddle for food trucks and small kitchens that cook two things at once. Check the circuit it needs before buying, since the listing is unclear.

A 24 in NSF-listed electric griddle for kitchens with a 240 V outlet. A single thermostat means one cooking temperature across the plate.

A compact 120 V griddle for a cafe, food truck or concession stand cooking a few orders at a time. It carries an ETL safety listing but no published sanitation listing.

A low-cost plug-in griddle for pop-ups, catering and home use where no listing is required. The thin 0.4 in plate cools quickly under a full load.

A wide, cheap electric griddle for events and food stands that can hardwire it. Its thin plate and lack of listings rule it out for most inspected kitchens.

A plug-in 21 in griddle for small events and light cafe use. It is underpowered for a busy line and has no listing for an inspected kitchen.

A 36 in thermostatic gas griddle at a manual griddle’s price, for kitchens that want set temperatures without a big-name price.
