Why this griddle earns its place
The Parry 3013 is a standalone griddle built for volume: 750 mm of cooking surface, 2000 W electric element, a polished steel plate engineered to hold heat under constant load. Whether you're pressing 30 portions of bacon or running a non-stop breakfast service, the thermal mass keeps the surface steady from first cover to last.
Thermostatic control lets you dial the temperature from 50 to 300 °C — that range covers eggs and pancakes at the cool end, and searing burger patties and caramelising at the high end. The polished plate isn't just aesthetic; the finish retains heat more evenly than raw steel, which means less hot-spot frustration and more predictable results cover to cover. A removable fat drainage drawer sits underneath, pulling out completely for cleaning — no grease pooling under the grill, no odour creeping through the pass.
At 44 kg and 240 mm tall, it's substantial but not a full bench install. It stands alone on any worktop rated for a standard cooker, plugs into a single power socket, and needs space for the grease drawer to slide out. Stainless-steel base and surround mean it cleans quickly and reads professionally in an open kitchen setup.
