KELOO Commercial Electric Griddle Ribbed 550mm 3kW - Countertop Char Grill Plate - EG-821

Char lines sell the burger before anyone tastes it. A ribbed plate does two jobs a flat one cannot: it marks the product, and it lifts it out of its own fat so meat sears instead of frying. The EG-821 gives you that on a 550mm countertop unit.

Same footprint and same 3kW element as our smooth 550mm griddle - the plate is the difference.

Key features

• Ribbed plate - defined char lines on steaks, burgers, chicken and halloumi
• Fat drains away from the product - meat sears rather than sitting and frying in its own grease
• 550 x 430 x 240mm (W x D x H) - countertop format, sits on a bench or stand
• 3kW element - fast heat-up and quick recovery when a cold batch hits the plate
• 50-300°C thermostat control - low enough to hold, hot enough to mark and sear
• Stainless steel body - built for daily commercial cleaning
• Splash guards and grease drawer - keeps fat off the bench and the clean-down quick

Specification

Typical uses

Burger bars and smokehouses, steak and grill menus, pub kitchens, street food units, and any site where the char mark is part of the product.

Choosing your griddle

This range runs 550mm and 730mm widths, in smooth, ribbed and half-and-half plates. Ribbed is a specialist plate - excellent for marked proteins, but eggs, pancakes and small items will not work on it. If this is your only griddle, look at the smooth EG-818 or the half smooth, half ribbed EG-822 instead. If you already run a flat plate and want to add char marks, the EG-821 is the right second unit.

Good to know

At 3kW this griddle sits right at the limit of a standard 13A socket - a dedicated circuit is recommended, particularly if it shares a bench with other equipment. Ribbed plates need a wire brush rather than a scraper: work along the grooves while the plate is still warm, and empty the grease drawer daily. Fat left in the ribs is the main cause of flare-up and off flavours.
