No, a commercial grill is not the same as a commercial griddle. Grills have a grated cooking surface, while Griddles have a smooth, flat cooking surface. This difference in cooking surface results in different cooking styles.

Grills are ideal for cooking foods that benefit from searing, such as steaks, burgers, and chicken breasts. The grates on a grill allow excess fat and grease to drip away, resulting in a healthier and more flavourful dish. Grills also give food a unique chargrilled flavour that is impossible to achieve with other cooking methods.

Griddles are better suited for cooking delicate foods, such as eggs, pancakes, and sandwiches. The flat surface of a griddle prevents food from sticking and allows for even cooking. Griddles are also great for cooking large batches of food at once.

Many commercial kitchens choose to have both a grill and a griddle in order to have the versatility to cook a wide variety of foods. If you have the space and budget, this is a great option. However, if you can only afford one cooking appliance, then contact us to help you choose the one that is best suited for your specific needs.
