KELOO Commercial Electric Griddle Smooth 550mm 3kW - Countertop Hotplate - EG-818

A flat plate that does most of a breakfast menu on its own. Eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, hash browns and toast all cook on the same smooth surface at the same time - which is exactly why the griddle is the busiest piece of kit in most breakfast and burger kitchens.

The EG-818 is the 550mm smooth-plate model: enough width to run three or four products in zones without them running into each other, on a countertop footprint.

Key features

• Smooth plate - the versatile surface, for eggs, pancakes, onions, bacon and anything that would fall through ribs
• 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 cooked food, hot enough to sear
• Stainless steel body - built for daily commercial cleaning
• Splash guards and grease drawer - keeps fat off the bench and the clean-down quick
• Zone your plate - run different products at different points across the surface at once

Specification

Typical uses

Breakfast service in cafés and hotels, burger bars and diners, street food and festival units, pub kitchens, and any site running a fry-up alongside the main menu.

Choosing your griddle

This range runs 550mm and 730mm widths, in smooth, ribbed and half-and-half plates. Smooth (EG-818, EG-820) is the all-rounder and the right choice if you are only buying one. Ribbed (EG-821) puts char lines on steaks and burgers and lets fat drain away. Half smooth, half ribbed (EG-822) gives you both on one plate if bench space is tight. On width: 550mm suits a café or a single-station kitchen, 730mm is for sustained volume.

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. Season a new plate before first use and scrape down between batches rather than at the end of the shift; a clean plate recovers heat far faster than a carboned one. The thermostat reads plate temperature, so allow the surface to recover between heavy loads.
