Overview

Waldorf Bold GPB8900E-B 900mm Electric Griddle Bench Model

The Waldorf Bold GPB8900E-B is a 900mm wide electric griddle designed for high-volume commercial kitchens requiring consistent, reliable cooking performance. Built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it features a 20mm thick machined griddle plate powered by 12kW heating elements, with dual independent thermostatic control zones allowing the left and right sides of the plate to be operated at different temperatures simultaneously — ideal for cooking multiple menu items at once.

Supplied as a bench model, the unit sits on four heavy-duty 63mm diameter stainless steel legs with adjustable feet providing a working height range of 80mm to 105mm. The smooth griddle plate suits everything from breakfast service to burgers and seared proteins, while top weld-sealed plates, an overlapping front and rear plate finish, and a stainless steel grease drawer make cleaning fast between service periods. Optional ribbed plate sections and mirror finish hard chrome plates are available to suit specific cooking requirements, and the default colour is black with other colour options available.

Key Benefits

• Dual independent heat zones let operators run different temperatures on each half of the plate, reducing energy use and enabling simultaneous cooking of varied menu items.
• 12kW heating elements across a 20mm thick machined plate deliver even, retained heat for consistent searing and cooking results under continuous load.
• Adjustable bench legs (80mm to 105mm height range) allow the unit to be set at the correct ergonomic working height for different kitchen configurations.
• Overlapping plate finish at front and rear, combined with a removable stainless steel grease drawer, speeds up cleaning and reduces downtime between services.
• Top weld-sealed plates prevent grease and food debris from penetrating joints, improving hygiene and extending the service life of the cooking surface.
• Optional ribbed plate sections and mirror finish hard chrome plates provide versatility for operators needing char marks or ultra-smooth non-stick cooking surfaces.
• Heat-resistant reinforced control knobs with easy-read settings and separate indicator lights for power and heating give clear, at-a-glance operational feedback.
• Compact bench model footprint suits kitchens where floor space is limited, while the 900mm width provides a generous cooking area for high-volume output.
