Waldorf GPLB8600E-B Bold - 600mm Electric Griddle Low Back Version - Bench Model

Waldorf Bold GPLB8600E-B 600mm Electric Griddle Low Back Bench Model

The Waldorf Bold GPLB8600E-B is a 600mm electric bench-mount griddle designed for high-volume commercial kitchens where consistent, reliable cooking performance is essential. Powered by 7.2kW heating elements and featuring a 20mm thick machined griddle plate, it delivers even heat retention and recovery across the entire cooking surface, making it well suited to busy breakfast services, burger stations and all-day cooking operations.

Constructed from 304 stainless steel throughout, this griddle is built to withstand the demands of professional use. The low back bench model configuration keeps the unit compact and practical on the bench, while thoughtful design details including a stainless steel grease drawer, overlapping plate edges, top weld-sealed plates and heavy-duty reinforced control knobs all contribute to fast cleaning, straightforward servicing and long service life. Optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate finishes allow the unit to be configured to specific menu requirements.
