Overview

Waldorf GP8450G-B 800 Series 450mm Gas Griddle Bench Model

The Waldorf GP8450G-B is a 450mm bench-model gas griddle from the robust 800 Series, engineered for high-volume commercial kitchens in Australia and New Zealand. Built from 304 stainless steel throughout, it features a 20mm thick griddle plate with a 40MJ thermostatic burner system that delivers consistent, even heat across a 442mm x 530mm cooking surface, making it well suited to breakfast service, burgers, seafood and everything in between.

Precision-welded construction ensures long-term durability and hygiene, with top weld sealed plates and a welded hob surround that eliminate grease traps and simplify cleaning. The unit accepts both natural gas and LPG connections and is compatible with optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate surfaces, giving operators the flexibility to tailor the griddle to their specific menu requirements.
