Electric Griddles usually require special voltages and their own circuit to function properly. The machines can come in phase 1 or phase 3 power and it would be good to check with an electrician which power source you have before purchasing the griddle. Very often electric griddles do not come with a plug and are hard wired into the power source. Gas powered griddles will need special couplings and piping to attach to the main gas line. Thermostatic commercial griddles will allow you to input a specific temperature to cook at. Manual valve commercial griddles have a dial, with readings such as 'low' 'medium' or 'high'. You will need to specify whether you want the machine in liquid propane, or in natural gas.

Gas powered griddles come in either propane or natural gas, and either manual or thermostatic control. After the size of the griddle has been determined the next important decision is to purchase a gas griddle or an electric griddle. Each of the burners will have a separate control knob for each zone which is great for cooking several items with different cook times and temperatures. The size of the griddle will determine how many burners you will have because there is usually one burner or heat zone for every 12” of length. Countertop griddles range in size from 12” to 72” and if the size is chosen improperly it can be a big problem.
