Ribbed electric griddle Hendi 154953

This Hendi Kitchen Line ribbed electric griddle has a fully ribbed, heat-retaining steel plate for repeat grilling at a compact cooking station. Its smaller-than-most category footprint makes it a practical option where a larger grill would occupy too much worktop.

Where it is used

Use the griddle as a dedicated grilling point in a café or bar kitchen. The ribbed plate gives the chef a defined surface for grilling, and its thick steel construction retains heat between batches. That stored heat is useful when service calls for successive rounds of cooking.

A rear upstand helps contain splashes at the station. The removable drip tray can be taken out to empty collected residue, keeping that task separate from handling the griddle. Non-slip feet help resist movement on the worktop, while the integrated switch diode gives the operator a visible indication at the switch. If overheating occurs, the resettable thermal fuse interrupts operation and can be reset after it has tripped.

Connection and installation

The 220–240 V supply range is used by standard single-phase supplies in the UK, making the griddle suitable for consideration at a single-phase cooking station. Its 2.4 kW rated power is lower than that of most products in this category, a useful comparison when assessing rated electrical demand for the station.

Care

The stainless-steel body resists corrosion and is straightforward to keep clean in a damp kitchen. This makes the exterior suitable for routine cleaning around a busy cooking station. The removable tray can be taken out and emptied separately, helping keep collected cooking residue from accumulating in it.

How to choose

The griddle weighs less than most products in this category, so it is comparatively easier to move into position or reposition when arranging the worktop. Its compact overall footprint also suits kitchens with limited spare counter space.

Continuous temperature adjustment allows small changes to the heat setting as cooking progresses, while the maximum temperature supports high-heat surface cooking such as searing. The fully ribbed plate provides a consistent ribbed area for grilling, and its thick steel stores heat between batches.
