The AMPTO GR5E Electric Griddle
The AMPTO GR5E is a compact commercial electric griddle designed for cafes, snack bars, food trucks, and light to medium duty kitchen operations that need reliable flat-top cooking in a small countertop footprint. With a heavy-duty polished steel cooking surface and precise temperature control, this griddle delivers consistent results for breakfast items, sandwiches, meats, and vegetables.
The 12 inch by 16 inch cooking surface is constructed from a 1/4 inch thick polished steel plate that distributes heat evenly across the entire surface. This thickness helps maintain stable temperatures during repeated cooking cycles, reducing hot spots and improving product consistency during service.
1/4 Inch Polished Steel Griddle Plate
The heavy-duty polished steel grid plate provides excellent heat retention and uniform heating, allowing operators to sear, grill, and cook evenly without frequent temperature recovery delays. The smooth surface also simplifies cleaning at the end of each shift, supporting faster turnaround in busy kitchens.
Adjustable Thermostat up to 475°F
An adjustable temperature control allows precise heat management up to 475 degrees Fahrenheit, giving operators flexibility to cook a wide range of menu items on the same unit. This control helps prevent overcooking while maintaining consistent results across different products.
The stainless steel body offers durability and corrosion resistance in commercial environments, while the built-in drip pan captures grease and food debris to keep work surfaces cleaner. An integrated overload switch provides added operational protection, and the compact countertop design makes the GR5E easy to integrate into limited prep spaces.
