Roband GT500 Commercial Electric Griddle Toaster Combination (15 Amp)

The Roband GT500 Commercial Electric Griddle Toaster is a high-performance, dual-action countertop combination appliance engineered specifically for medium to fast-paced Australian commercial kitchens, busy cafes, takeaway outlets, breakfast bars, kiosks, and catering venues. Sized at 537mm Wide x 457mm Deep x 374mm High, this heavy-duty unit features a spacious 515mm x 340mm griddle plate situated directly above a dedicated toasting compartment—allowing chefs to sear steaks, bacon, eggs, and burger patties on top while simultaneously toasting bread, buns, or melting cheese below.

Designed and made in Australia, the GT500 delivers increased power and cooking surface area compared to smaller models. It features an 8mm thick solid steel griddle plate paired with superior compacted heating elements for rapid thermal recovery and accurate temperature regulation. Built with an independent dual-element system, both the griddle and lower toasting compartment are thermostatically regulated for optimal cooking control during busy service periods. Operating on a single-phase 15 Amp plug-and-play supply (3,280W / 14.3A), it connects to a dedicated 15A wall socket and is backed by a 12-Month Commercial Parts and Labour Warranty.
