AccuSteam Griddle: Efficiency is great…but when you find a piece of equipment that’s efficient, fast and powerful, it’s an unbeatable combination. The AccuSteam Griddle from AccuTemp fits that definition perfectly.
It’s really a whole new way of cooking, thanks to its unique steam chamber design. While other griddles can have temperature variations ranging between ± 25° and ± 45°F, the AccuSteam Griddle has a uniform surface temperature of ± 5°F regardless of the food load. With that uniform temperature, even less experienced crew members can turn out perfect product. The griddle surface has no hot or cold spots, which means more useable space – it has virtually edge-to-edge cooking capability. The AccuSteam Griddle has the shortest recovery time in the industry – just 10 seconds – which helps operators meet high-volume rush periods.
The AccuSteam Griddle’s stainless steel cooking surface is easy to clean with just water and a scrub pad. A 4’ AccuSteam Griddle cleans up in less than 10 minutes as compared with 30-45 minutes for traditional griddles. And there’s no need for special brushes or harsh chemicals, so it saves both time and money on cleanup. Speaking of money saving, it’s ENERGY STAR® qualified, too. The AccuSteam Griddle is available powered by natural gas, propane or electricity and comes in a wide range of griddle sizes. With countertop, drop-in or standalone models, there’s one to fit every operation.
Any way you look at it, the AccuTemp AccuSteam griddle brings efficiency, speed and power to any kitchen.

Accelerating cook time (and profits) with AccuTemp’s XLR8: Q&A with chef John Pennington, Vice President and Director of Sales and Marketing
How does the AccuTemp XLR8 Upper Heated Platen differ from other products on the market?
John Pennington: With the XLR8, you get more coverage in the platen itself. And when you’re using two together, there’s not a large gap in between the platens – a lot of others don’t have as much surface coverage as we have. We also have very precise temperature control; we do that with a digital thermostat so we’re getting plus or minus 10° surface temperature variance, which is a lot better than our competitors. And it recovers in about 30 seconds, which is a very fast recovery time.
Talk about how the XLR8 not only saves time and labor…but it makes money, too.
JP: It’s definitely going to cut cook times – at least in half on any product. That means chefs are going to be able to get more table turns because they’re cooking proteins faster. They’re also going to get a more consistent, higher-quality product. The level of caramelization on product is always going to be the same. They’re getting a very consistent product, and it ensures food safety and proper temperature as well.
And its timer system is unique.
JP: Once you get your food product dialed in, when you lower the arm, it automatically starts the countdown. At the end of that time cycle, it’s going to beep. When you raise the arm, it shuts itself off and resets the timer. We have also built in the capability to do two stages, for putting a sauce or seasoning on the product. And, like all our products, the XLR8 is backed by our lifetime service and support guarantee, so you can actually reach a live tech seven days a week to answer any questions you might have on the product.
