What power should I choose for an electric griddle?

The power of an electric griddle is one of the keys to successful cooking. Electric griddle models from 1,800 watts cook food as perfectly as a gas griddle. With a 3,600-watt model, you have a professional electric griddle for everyday use. At Planchaelec, the cooking plate is made of stainless steel. The professional-grade stainless steel diffuses heat across its entire cooking surface, which is cut from a solid block.

The Different Power Levels of an Electric Griddle

At Planchaelec, our electric griddles have a power ranging from 1,800 watts to 3,600 watts. Depending on the model, you have one, two, or three cooking zones. The size of the cooking plate increases with the power of an electric griddle. At Planchaelec, you'll find griddles with 1,800, 2,400, 3,000, and 3,600 W.

Why is the power of your electric griddle important?

The power determines the heating time of an electric griddle. A power between 1,800 watts and 3,600 watts, depending on the model, also allows for maintaining a high temperature throughout the cooking process.

Power of your electric griddle in relation to its use

For infrequent and family use, a power of 1,800 W is sufficient. A model with a single cooking zone is suitable for 5 guests. A 2,400 W electric griddle, with two cooking zones, will cook your meat, fish, and vegetables for 6 to 8 guests.

For frequent, even daily use, a professional electric griddle is essential. Planchaelec offers 3,600 W appliances that can cook food for 15 guests. High electrical power also reduces the power consumption of a griddle. Indeed, with a faster temperature rise, your appliance wastes less electricity.
