Waring WGR240X Electric Countertop Griddle, 24 x 16 in Cooking Surface, 1 in Steel Plate, 3300W, 240V

The Waring WGR240X is a 28-inch-wide electric countertop griddle with a 24 in. x 16 in. cooking area on a 1-inch-thick steel plate. Rated at 3300 watts on 240V single-phase service, it gives cafes, diners and catering kitchens a full-size flat-top for breakfast, burgers and sandwiches without a gas connection.

1-Inch Steel Plate With Thermostatic Control

A thick steel plate is what separates a production griddle from a light-duty one. The WGR240X plate is a full inch thick, so it holds a deep reserve of heat; when you lay down a dozen patties or a row of eggs the surface temperature dips far less and comes back faster. The mass of the plate also evens out heat across the 24-inch width, which means more consistent color from one side of the griddle to the other.

Thermostatic controls are spaced every 12 inches along the front, so heat is regulated across the width of the plate rather than by a single sensor. Cooks can hold the surface at a steady set temperature and repeat results through the rush. The 240V configuration delivers the higher wattage that a wider plate needs to stay hot under load.

Why Operators Choose It

• Large cooking area: 24 in. x 16 in. of flat-top for full breakfast and lunch menus
• Fast recovery: 1-inch steel plate stores heat so it rebounds quickly after loading
• Steady temperatures: thermostatic controls spaced every 12 inches across the plate
• More power: 3300 watts on 240V single-phase for a wider plate
• No gas needed: electric operation suits kitchens without gas service
• Commercial listings: NSF and UL listed

Controls

Thermostatic controls, set 12 inches apart along the front of the griddle, regulate plate temperature. Compared with infinite switches, thermostats hold a chosen setting more closely, which keeps eggs, pancakes and burgers consistent from the first ticket to the last.

Ideal For

• Diners, cafes and breakfast spots
• Burger and sandwich programs needing a full-size flat-top
• Hotel buffets, omelet and action stations
• Catering and institutional kitchens without gas service

Electrical & Installation

• Electrical: 240V, 60 Hz, single-phase; 3300 watts is roughly 14 amps at 240V
• Circuit: install on a dedicated 240V circuit sized by a licensed electrician to local code; confirm your building voltage before ordering
• Placement: a heavy unit at nearly 100 lb, so use a sturdy, level counter or equipment stand and follow local code for ventilation over griddle cooking
