Benchstar FT-818 Stainless Steel Electric Griddle

The Benchstar FT-818 is a commercial benchtop electric griddle built for the demands of busy cafés, restaurants, catering operations and takeaway venues. Its 10mm polished mild steel cooking plate delivers consistent heat retention and even cooking results across the entire 548 x 350mm cooking surface, making it well suited to breakfasts, burgers, pancakes, bacon, eggs, seafood and vegetables.

Constructed with a stainless steel body for hygiene and long-term durability, the FT-818 features an adjustable thermostat spanning 50°C to 300°C so kitchen staff can dial in precise temperatures for a wide variety of menu items. A front grease trap drawer and perimeter splash guard keep the work area clean and speed up turnaround between service periods, while the compact benchtop footprint suits kitchens where space is at a premium.
