Waring WGR140X Electric Countertop Griddle, 14 x 16 in Cooking Surface, 1 in Steel Plate, 1800W, 120V

The Waring WGR140X is a 17-inch-wide electric countertop griddle with a 14 in. x 16 in. cooking area on a 1-inch-thick steel plate. Rated at 1800 watts on 120V single-phase power, it brings a real griddle surface to cafes, concession stands and kitchens that do not have gas or high-voltage service at the station.

Thick Steel Plate, Thermostatic Heat

The 1-inch steel plate is the heart of this griddle. A thick plate stores a large amount of heat, so the surface does not crash when you load a row of cold burger patties or a full batch of pancake batter, and it evens out the hot and cool spots you get on thinner plates. The result is more consistent browning from edge to edge and quicker recovery between loads.

A thermostatic control holds the plate at the temperature you set rather than simply cycling power on and off, which makes it easier for staff to repeat results from shift to shift. Running on 120V, the WGR140X can go almost anywhere there is a suitable outlet, from a breakfast buffet to a food truck build-out.

Why Operators Choose It

• Heat-holding plate: 1-inch steel stores heat for fast recovery when cold product hits the surface
• Even cooking: the thick plate spreads heat for more uniform browning across the 14 in. x 16 in. area
• Repeatable results: thermostatic control keeps the plate at a set temperature
• 120V convenience: 1800 watts on single-phase 120V; no gas line or high-voltage circuit needed
• Compact width: 17 in. overall, a good fit for short counters and add-on stations
• Commercial listings: NSF and UL listed for foodservice use

Controls

A single thermostatic control governs the cooking plate, so staff dial in one temperature and let the griddle hold it. Thermostatic control is better suited to eggs, pancakes and smash burgers than simple infinite switches because the plate temperature stays steadier through a rush.

Ideal For

• Breakfast service: eggs, pancakes, French toast and bacon
• Burgers, grilled sandwiches and quesadillas at cafes and snack bars
• Concession stands, food trucks and kiosks limited to 120V power
• Buffet and action stations in hotels and catering

• Placement: set on a sturdy, level, heat-tolerant counter or equipment stand, and follow local code for ventilation over griddle cooking
