What is a professional fry top?
A fry top is a professional griddle plate for food, designed for “contact cooking”: food is placed directly on the plate and can be cooked even without oil or fat. This allows healthy cooking at very high temperatures.
Thanks to its sloping cooking surface, it needs no holes to drain fatty cooking juices: the slope itself channels them into the waste collection drawer, for healthier and more delicate cooking.
Smooth vs ribbed fry top: which suits your food?
A fry top can have a smooth plate, a ribbed plate or both:
- a smooth fry top is suitable for cooking all kinds of food, even the most delicate such as fish and vegetables, because the surface of the food stays smooth; it is also the better choice because it is easier to clean, while
- a ribbed fry top is mainly used to leave the characteristic grill marks on meat.
Gas vs electric fry top: the differences
Professional fry tops can be gas or electric: both deliver similar cooking results, and prices vary.
Professional gas fry tops
Professional gas fry tops run on gas: the plate is heated by burners located underneath, reaching temperatures from 100 to about 300°C. Installation may require an extractor hood to remove any fumes produced during cooking.
Professional electric fry tops
In electric fry tops the cooking plate is heated by elements located underneath. One or more convenient control knobs let you set the temperature between 50°C and 270°C.
