What makes a built-in griddle worth over $2,500?
Above $2,500 a built-in griddle brings a larger plate, more burners and heavier construction. This tier spans 30 to 41 inch cooking surfaces with two and three independent burner zones, thick stainless plates that hold heat, High Heat Technology on Le Griddle models and interior lighting for cooking after dark.
What is the difference between Le Griddle Pro Series and Commercial models?
Pro Series griddles include interior lights and Commercial models do not. Both are sold as the 75, a two-burner natural gas unit, and the 105, a three-burner, and both offer a 3mm or 6mm cooking plate. The choice comes down to whether you cook after dark and which plate thickness you want.
Should I choose a 3mm or 6mm griddle plate?
The 6mm plate is the thicker of the two and retains more heat, which helps when a lot of cold food hits the surface at once. Le Griddle offers 3mm and 6mm versions of the Pro Series 75 and 105 and the Commercial 75 and 105, so plate thickness and griddle size are chosen independently.
What sizes do built-in griddles over $2,500 come in?
This tier runs from 30 to 41 inch cooking surfaces. The Le Griddle 75 models and the Bonfire Whistler griddle cover the 30-inch range, and the 105 models are the 41-inch three-burner plates. Measure the width and depth of your island cutout before ordering. Compare all built-in griddles.
Are there electric built-in griddles over $2,500?
Yes. The Le Griddle Ranch Hand is an electric two-burner griddle that plugs in rather than needing a gas line, which makes it workable where running gas is impractical. Everything else in this tier is natural gas, with two or three burners for independent temperature zones across the plate.
How many burners do I need on a built-in griddle over $2,500?
Two burners suit most households, giving you a hot zone and a holding zone across a 30-inch plate. Three burners on the 41-inch Le Griddle 105 models let you sear, saute and keep food warm at the same time on one surface. More burners means more independent temperature control.
How much should I budget for a built-in griddle over $2,500?
Two-burner 30-inch models sit at the lower end and three-burner 41-inch plates with interior lights and a 6mm surface at the top. If that is more than you want to spend, built-in griddles under $2,500 covers the smaller and simpler models.
What fuel do built-in griddles over $2,500 use?
Most griddles in this tier are natural gas, including every Le Griddle Pro Series and Commercial model and the Bonfire Whistler built-in griddle. The Le Griddle Ranch Hand is the electric exception. Confirm your hookup matches before ordering, since gas models are configured for a specific fuel. Browse Le Griddle.
