Roband G500 Commercial Electric Benchtop Griddle (10 Amp)

The Roband G500 Commercial Electric Benchtop Griddle is a compact, high-efficiency commercial fry top engineered in Australia for cafes, kiosks, food trucks, takeaway shops, sports clubs, and catering venues. Sized at 538 mm Wide x 443 mm Deep x 263 mm High with a generous 515 mm x 340 mm cooking surface, this versatile 10 Amp benchtop griddle provides the precise temperature control needed to cook everything from steaks, chicken, fish, and burger patties to delicate eggs, bacon, and fritters.

While many commercial griddles look similar on the outside, Roband sets itself apart through superior internal heating technology. The G500 features a heavy-duty 8 mm thick solid steel griddle plate paired with uniquely engineered, compacted heating elements designed for maximum thermal penetration. Drawing 2,300 Watts on a standard single-phase 10 Amp plug-and-play supply, it delivers rapid temperature recovery, minimal heat loss, and exceptionally even heat distribution across the entire cooking plane. Complete with a dual-skin forward-positioned grease box to reduce touch temperatures and minimize bench footprint, it is backed by a 12-Month Commercial Warranty.

Why Choose the Roband G500 Commercial Electric Griddle?

Selecting the Roband G500 Electric Griddle equips commercial kitchen operators with an energy-efficient, fast-heating, and reliable benchtop cooking station built to handle peak service rushes while maintaining consistent food quality.

Key benefits of the Roband G500 include:

• Heavy-Duty 8mm Solid Steel Plate: Thick 8 mm steel griddle plate offers superior heat retention and thermal stability, preventing sudden temperature drops when loaded with cold proteins.

• Compacted High-Penetration Heating Elements: Specially designed heating elements press directly against the steel plate to maximize energy transfer, shorten cooking times, and accelerate heat recovery between batches.

• Standard 10A Plug-and-Play Setup: Draws 2,300 W (10 Amps) on single-phase 240 V electricity, plugging directly into any standard Australian 10 Amp wall socket without requiring specialized electrical wiring.

• Precise Thermostatic Control: Smooth rotary thermostat knob allows operators to set and maintain exact cooking temperatures across the entire 515 mm x 340 mm plate area.

• Integrated Dual-Skin Forward Grease Box: Large-capacity front grease collection drawer features a dual-skin design to reduce external touch temperatures, prevent grease spillage, and save valuable workbench space.

• Lower Power Consumption & Reduced Heat Loss: Advanced element placement ensures heat is directed into the cooking surface rather than radiating into the kitchen, lowering energy bills and cooling demands.

• Australian Engineering & Compact Design: Designed to withstand heavy commercial use while maintaining a shallow footprint ideal for space-restricted counters.

• 12-Month Manufacturer Warranty: Supported standard by a 12-Month Commercial Parts and Labour Warranty.

Technical Specifications

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Pre-Heating: Position the griddle on a level, heat-resistant workbench. Check that the dual-skin grease box is slid fully into position. Plug into a standard 240 V 10 A wall outlet and set the thermostat dial to your target temperature. Allow the 8 mm steel plate to pre-heat for 10 to 15 minutes to establish uniform surface heat before cooking.

2. Grilling & Fat Collection: Place bacon, burgers, eggs, or seafood onto the smooth steel surface. Excess oils and rendering fats naturally flow forward into the integrated front grease box.

3. Daily Hygiene & Maintenance: At the end of trading shifts, turn off electrical power and allow the plate to cool to a warm temperature. Scrape food particles forward into the grease box using a flat griddle scraper. Remove and empty the dual-skin grease box, washing it in warm soapy water. Wipe down the steel plate and external housing with a soft damp cloth, applying a thin coating of cooking oil to the steel plate to prevent surface oxidation overnight.
