Free Standing Griddles

Free standing griddles are a versatile solution for professional kitchens that require high-volume, consistent cooking performance. Designed to deliver heat evenly across a robust cooking surface, these units are ideal for preparing a wide variety of foods—from breakfast items and grilled vegetables to meats, seafood, and flatbreads. Built for floor installation, these griddles offer more power and cooking area than countertop alternatives, making them the go-to choice for fast-paced food service environments.

Types of Free Standing Griddles

• Gas-powered griddles – Chosen for their fast heat-up times and precise flame control. Perfect for kitchens where natural gas or LPG is available.
• Electric griddles – Preferred in locations where gas is restricted. Known for their even heat distribution and easy installation.
• Chrome-top griddles – Offer a non-stick surface that retains heat and simplifies cleaning. Ideal for delicate items like eggs or pancakes.
• Steel plate griddles – Known for durability and high heat retention. Suitable for cooking meats and heavier items.

Why Choose Free Standing Griddles Over Other Options?

Unlike compact countertop models, free standing griddles provide greater stability, larger cooking zones, and stronger heating capabilities—critical for high-output operations. When compared to open burners or traditional ranges, they deliver unmatched versatility for continuous batch cooking without the need for multiple pans.

Many professional kitchens that rely on floor-standing pasta cookers also invest in free standing griddles to optimize workflow. The combination of both units supports simultaneous cooking of starches and proteins, increasing efficiency and order turnaround times.

What to Consider When Choosing a Free Standing Griddle

• Cooking surface area – Match the griddle size with your daily serving volume.
• Heat source – Decide between gas and electric based on your kitchen infrastructure.
• Material – Chrome or stainless steel for easy cleaning, or thicker steel for heat retention.
• Grease management – Look for integrated grease trays or removable drawers for efficient cleaning.
• Compatibility – Ensure the griddle complements existing equipment like floor-standing pasta cookers or convection ovens.
