It is important to choose your electric griddle carefully to enjoy its convenience and try a wide variety of atypical recipes. Requiring little fat, this appliance allows for healthy cooking and preserves the taste of all grilled foods.
An electric griddle makes it possible to grill or sear meat, shellfish, vegetables, and fish while preserving all their flavors. Moreover, appliances of this type:
- can generally be used both indoors and outdoors;
- prove to be more affordable compared to gas models, but are sometimes less powerful;
- with a power lower than 2,500 W are perfect for people who use their grill occasionally and mainly prepare small pieces of meat or vegetables (or any other food that does not require too much cooking time);
- with a power above 2,500 W can quickly cook large pieces of fish or meat;
- require a power adjustment depending on the cooking plate surface (especially on models that are detachable or self-assemble);
- can be equipped with two separate cooking zones to avoid mixing the flavors of foods.
Tabletop planchas are recommended for cooking enthusiasts and occasional users. Indeed, they:

- offer a proper cooking of meats, vegetables, and fish;
- require no special maintenance;
- generally benefit from a cooking temperature reaching 230 °C;
- can be used in groups for a more convivial atmosphere during relaxation moments around grills or "healthy" dishes.
To cook like a chef, it’s better to opt for a professional model. This appliance:
- is specially designed to be used outdoors;
- is suitable for camping and garden use;
- proves to be particularly effective in cooking;
- has a heating power superior to tabletop versions (with a maximum temperature of more than 300 °C);
- has a drip tray that makes it easy to clean on a daily basis.
To choose your electric griddle wisely, it is essential to anticipate its long-term use. This way, the future user can determine the necessary power and the right size of the cooking plate. It is also recommended to favor models requiring little maintenance to make life easier in the kitchen.
