Why a commercial hot plate?

A hot plate gives you a large, flat cooking surface that heats evenly and holds its temperature as cold food goes on. It is the fastest way to cook breakfast, burgers and short-order meals in volume, and it is easy to clean at the end of service.

How to choose a hot plate

Width

CookRite hot plates come in 300mm, 600mm, 900mm and 1200mm widths in the 800mm deep AT80 series, plus a compact 400mm wide AT65G4G-C in the 650mm deep AT65 series. A 600mm plate suits a cafe breakfast menu; 900mm and 1200mm plates suit burger bars and busy brunch kitchens.

Plate thickness

CookRite hot plates have a 16mm thick plate. A thick plate stores more heat, so the temperature drops less when you load it with cold food, and heat spreads more evenly across the surface.

Heat zones

Wider hot plates have several burners with independent controls, so you can run one side hot for searing and the other cooler for eggs or holding.

Countertop or freestanding?

Countertop models (ending in -C) sit on a bench, stand or refrigerated chef base. Freestanding models (ending in -F) come on their own base, ready to stand on the floor.

Safety and cleaning

CookRite hot plates have flame failure protection, piezo ignition, standby pilots and a removable drip tray, and are built from 304 stainless steel with a 24 month labour and 48 month parts warranty.

Hot plate vs char grill

A hot plate cooks on a flat steel surface, ideal for eggs, pancakes, smash burgers and anything small or delicate. A char grill cooks over open grates for flame-grilled flavour and char marks on steaks, chicken and vegetables. Many kitchens run both side by side.

Installation and care

Gas hot plates must be installed by a licensed gas fitter, and most commercial cooking lines need an exhaust canopy. Season the plate before first use, scrape it down during service and clean it at the end of the day while it is still warm. Empty the drip tray regularly.

Anvil electric griddles

We also stock Anvil 400mm and 600mm benchtop electric flat top griddles with a 10mm thick plate.
