Overview

Roband G500 Electric Griddle – Medium Production Benchtop Hotplate

The Roband G500 is an Australian-made, medium production electric griddle designed for consistent, high-quality results across a wide range of menu items including steaks, chicken, fish, burger patties, fritters, eggs and bacon. At the heart of its performance is a uniquely designed element system that delivers maximum temperature penetration directly into the 8 mm thick steel cooking plate, producing a smooth, controllable and even heat distribution across the entire 515 x 340 mm cooking surface.

Built for busy cafés, canteens and commercial foodservice venues, the G500 operates on a standard 10 amp plug and features compacted plate elements with superior clamping for rapid temperature recovery when loaded with food. A forward-positioned grease gutter feeds into a large capacity, dual-skin integrated grease collection box that sits to the side of the unit, reducing spillage risk, keeping bench space tidy and remaining easy to remove for cleaning. Backed by a 12-month parts and labour warranty, it is engineered and supported locally by Roband in Australia.

Key Benefits

• Even, controllable heat across the full cooking surface enables consistent, professional results for a diverse range of foods every service.
• Fast temperature recovery when the plate is loaded with food reduces waiting time between batches, supporting higher throughput during peak periods.
• The 8 mm thick steel plate retains heat effectively, lowering power consumption and reducing heat losses compared to thinner alternatives.
• Standard 10 amp plug-in operation means no specialised electrical installation is required, making setup straightforward in most commercial kitchens.
• The dual-skin grease collection box runs at lower touch temperatures, reducing burn risk for kitchen staff during service and cleaning.
• The integrated, side-positioned grease box minimises bench footprint and reduces the likelihood of spills compared to externally mounted trays.
• Thermostat control across the full temperature range of 50°C to 300°C allows precise cooking for delicate items like eggs through to searing steaks.
• Australian-made construction using 304 stainless steel ensures durability and compliance with the standards expected in demanding commercial environments.
