For most buyers seeking a commercial crepe griddle, I’d start with the Crosson 16-inch, 1800W model: it pairs a full-size cooking surface with a straightforward single-plate setup. The Waring 16-inch model is a standout for buyers who prioritize a familiar single-head design, while the Garvee 3400W double-plate model suits kitchens seeking more cooking capacity. The main tradeoffs are single versus double plates, available power and electrical requirements, and how much temperature control you need. Higher wattage alone does not guarantee a better fit; your service volume and circuit capacity matter too. Read on for the full comparison and the buying factors that separate these options.

Key Takeaways
- Crosson is the most balanced starting point: its 16-inch plate and 1800W rating offer a full-size single-head setup without the higher stated wattage of the double-plate models.
- Double-head designs trade simplicity for capacity: the 16-inch 3500W model and Garvee 3400W model can suit higher-volume work, but buyers should check their electrical supply and available counter space.
- Wattage varies widely across this lineup: listed figures range from 1500W to 3500W, so compare power alongside plate count, intended output, and circuit limits rather than treating wattage as a standalone performance ranking.
- Temperature controls distinguish several midrange-style options: FOHERE, the 3000W model, and both double-head listings name temperature control, while the Waring listing emphasizes its 120V connection and aluminum plate.
- Non-stick claims are common, not a complete maintenance plan: several products describe non-stick plates, but buyers should still check care instructions and replacement-part support before committing to daily commercial use.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Crosson Commercial Electric Crepe Maker, 16-Inch Large Cooking Plate, 1800W, Stainless Steel
The Crosson is a strong fit for a small food-service station that values a large, thick cooking plate and a tidy setup. Its 16-inch, 15mm cast-iron surface is designed to distribute heat evenly, while the 1800W element and thermostat offer a straightforward approach to cooking crepes and pancakes. The included metal spreader and spatula, plus built-in accessory storage, make it more self-contained than the FOHERE 1700W, which emphasizes its heavy-duty body and stepless control instead.
The tradeoff is its substantial power draw, and the product details do not establish how it will perform during sustained, high-volume commercial service. I would choose it for a dedicated counter where the accessories and cleaning-friendly seamless design matter, but compare its electrical demands with your kitchen setup before committing.
Pros:- 16-inch, 15mm cast-iron plate is sized for full crepes and larger pancakes.
- 1800W heating element and thermostat provide adjustable cooking heat.
- Seamless design is intended to simplify wiping down the unit.
- Metal spatula and spreader are included, with built-in storage for accessories.
Cons:- The 1800W draw may be demanding for some kitchen circuits.
- Available details do not confirm performance under sustained commercial workloads.
Best for: Small cafes or catering stations that want a 16-inch cast-iron plate with included tools and on-unit accessory storage.
Not ideal for: Operators who need verified performance for continuous high-volume service or have limited electrical capacity for an 1800W appliance.
- Cooking plate diameter:16 inches (400 mm)
- Cooking plate thickness:15 mm
- Power:1800 W
- Body material:J1 stainless steel
- Maximum temperature:300°C

- Included accessories:Metal spatula and spreader
Our verdict“Choose the Crosson for a dedicated station where its thick plate, included tools, and accessory storage outweigh the need to verify its high-draw electrical fit.”
Commercial Crepe Maker, 16-Inch Non-Stick Electric Pancake Griddle, 1500W
This 16-inch model makes a practical case for buyers who want adjustable heat without a higher-wattage setup. Its 1500W element, 50–300°C range, and automatic temperature regulation give operators control across crepes and pancakes, while the non-stick cast-iron surface is intended to make release easier. Compared with the Crosson 1800W, it draws less listed power and adds a stated automatic regulation feature; the Crosson, by contrast, includes a metal tool set and built-in storage.
The 12.1-pound weight is easier to manage than the much heavier 16 Inch Double Head Electric Crepe Maker, though this unit still occupies a broad footprint and requires assembly and setup. Its single 16-inch plate suits one-at-a-time production better than a dual-head workflow. I’d pick it for a small operation needing temperature range and a non-stick surface, not for a counter that needs maximum throughput.
Pros:- 50–300°C temperature range supports different batters and cooking styles.
- Automatic temperature regulation is specified for heat management.
- Non-stick cast-iron surface is designed to ease food release.
- Listed weight of 12.1 pounds is far below the 59.5-pound dual-head model.
Cons:- Assembly and setup are required before use.
- A single cooking plate limits simultaneous production.
- The listed dimensions make it a substantial fit for a small counter.
Best for: Small cafes, food stalls, or serious home cooks who want adjustable temperature control on a single 16-inch plate.
Not ideal for: High-throughput kitchens that need two cooking plates or buyers with very little counter space for its roughly 20.67-inch footprint.
- Cooking surface:16 inches
- Power:1500 W
- Voltage:110 V
- Temperature range:50–300°C
- Materials:Stainless steel and cast iron
- Dimensions:20.67 × 20.67 × 5.12 inches
- Weight:12.1 lb
Our verdict“Pick this model for a single-station operation that values a broad temperature range and lower listed wattage over dual-plate output.”
16 Inch Double Head Electric Crepe Maker – Commercial Non-Stick Flat Plate Griddle – Accurate Temperature Control & Gauge Lights – 3500W/1750W 110V
The defining advantage here is the double-head format: it is built for a station that needs more cooking capacity than a single 16-inch unit can offer. The stated 3500W/1750W power and temperature control suit operators who want a more production-oriented setup, while the 16-inch non-stick surface supports crepes, pancakes, and omelets. Compared with the Commercial Crepe Maker 1500W, this model is aimed at greater throughput rather than a lighter, simpler single-plate footprint.
That added capacity comes with a clear space and handling cost. At 59.5 pounds and 33.66 inches deep, it is a fixed-counter choice, not an easy appliance to move or put away. Its strong heating also calls for attentive temperature adjustment, and buyers should verify the electrical arrangement for their site. I’d favor it over the single-plate options only when workflow can use the extra head and the counter can support its size.
Pros:- Double-head design targets higher output than the lineup’s single-plate models.
- 16-inch non-stick cooking surface supports crepes and other flat foods.
- Temperature control allows heat adjustment for different recipes.
- Stainless steel construction is specified for the unit.
Cons:- At 59.5 pounds, moving or storing it is difficult.
- 33.66-inch depth requires substantial counter space.
- High listed power makes electrical compatibility and heat adjustment important to check.
Best for: Restaurants, cafes, and event caterers that can dedicate a wide counter area to a double-head crepe station.
Not ideal for: Small kitchens, mobile vendors, or operators who need a lightweight appliance that can be stored between shifts.
- Plate size:16 inches
- Power:3500 W / 1750 W
- Voltage:110 V
- Temperature range:122–572°F (50–300°C)
- Material:Stainless steel
- Dimensions:33.66 × 18.9 × 8.66 inches
- Weight:59.5 lb
Our verdict“Choose the double-head model when a fixed commercial station needs more cooking capacity and has the counter space and electrical setup to support it.”
FOHERE 1700W Electric Crepe Maker, 16 Inch Commercial-Style Crepe Machine with Temperature Control
The FOHERE stands out for its stepless temperature control, which gives cooks finer adjustment than a basic fixed-heat appliance. Its 16-inch iron plate is intended for large crepes, pancakes, and flatbreads, and the 1700W rating places it between the 1500W Commercial Crepe Maker and the higher-powered 3000W Commercial Crepe Maker. That middle-ground output, paired with a heavy-duty stainless steel body, makes it a plausible choice for a regularly used, single-plate station.
Its 25.8-pound weight brings stability but makes repositioning less convenient, and the listed dimensions call for careful counter planning. The wipe-clean surface also needs attention after it cools; there is no non-stick coating or included tool set specified here to simplify cleanup. I’d choose it for cooks who value nuanced heat changes and a sturdy build, rather than those prioritizing portability or the easiest release and cleanup.
Pros:- Stepless control allows incremental heat adjustment across a broad range.
- 16-inch iron plate handles large crepes and other flatbreads.
- Stainless steel and iron construction is specified for frequent use.
- 1700W rating sits below the listed 3000W model’s power draw.
Cons:- At 25.8 pounds, it is not convenient to move frequently.
- The listed dimensions require deliberate counter planning.
- Surface cleanup is described as wipe-clean after cooling, with no non-stick coating specified.
Best for: Cafe cooks or flatbread vendors who want stepless heat adjustment and a stable single-plate machine for frequent use.
Not ideal for: Small kitchens or mobile operators who need a compact, light unit, and buyers who prioritize a specified non-stick surface.
- Power:1700 W
- Voltage:110 V
- Plate diameter:16 inches
- Temperature range:122–572°F
- Materials:Stainless steel and iron
- Dimensions:17.13 × 5.91 × 16.93 inches
- Weight:25.8 lb
Our verdict“Choose the FOHERE if fine heat adjustment and a stable iron plate matter more than portability or a specified non-stick finish.”
3000W Commercial Crepe Maker, 16″ Non-Stick Electric Griddle with Adjustable Temperature
This model pairs a Teflon-coated 16-inch surface with a listed 3000W rating, making it the lineup’s clearest fit for buyers prioritizing easy food release and a high-powered single plate. The adjustable 0–300°C control covers crepes, pancakes, and jianbing, and a wooden spreader is included for batter distribution. Compared with the FOHERE 1700W, it puts more emphasis on power and a stated non-stick coating; the FOHERE instead offers stepless control and a heavy-duty iron plate.
The high wattage may suit busy cooking, but it also makes electrical compatibility worth checking, especially since the product details do not provide a voltage value. Its dimensions may also crowd smaller counters, and it offers just one cooking surface, unlike the Double Head Electric Crepe Maker. I’d choose it for a high-powered single-station setup where easy release matters, not for buyers who need two simultaneous cooking zones or have uncertain electrical capacity.
Pros:- Teflon-coated 16-inch surface is intended to help food release and cleanup.
- 3000W power rating suits buyers seeking a high-powered single plate.
- Adjustable temperature range extends from 0 to 300°C.
- Wooden spreader is included for distributing batter.
Cons:- Voltage compatibility is not specified in the supplied product details.
- 3000W may exceed the capacity of some kitchen circuits.
- Single-plate design cannot match the simultaneous output of the double-head option.
Best for: Food stalls or busy home kitchens that want a non-stick 16-inch surface, adjustable heat, and a wooden batter spreader.
Not ideal for: Operators who need dual-plate throughput, have limited counter space, or cannot verify compatibility with a 3000W appliance.
- Power:3000 W
- Surface diameter:16 inches
- Material:Stainless steel
- Coating:Teflon-coated cooking surface
- Temperature range:0–300°C
- Dimensions:17.72 × 16.9 × 16.5 inches
- Included component:Wooden scraper
Our verdict“Pick this griddle for a high-powered, non-stick single station, provided you confirm the electrical fit and do not need dual-plate output.”
Waring Crepe Maker with 120V & 16-Inch Aluminum Cooking Plate
The Waring is the stronger fit for kitchens that value a roomy cooking area and temperature headroom over easy storage. Its 16-inch plate and thermostat reaching 570°F give staff space and control for repeated batches, while the included spreader and spatula help standardize preparation. Compared with the FOHERE 1700W Electric Crepe Maker, the Waring is specified at 1800W and carries cULus and NSF certifications, making its commercial-service positioning clearer. The tradeoff is its 44.6-pound weight and 22-inch-square footprint: this is equipment to assign a station, not move around after each shift. Product details also conflict on whether the plate is aluminum or cast iron, so buyers should confirm the surface material before purchase.
Pros:- 16-inch cooking surface gives operators room for large crepes and steady batch work.
- Thermostat reaches 570°F for a broad range of cooking settings.
- Includes a batter spreader and spatula to support consistent preparation.
- cULus and NSF certifications suit buyers seeking commercial-oriented equipment.
Cons:- At 44.6 pounds and 22 inches wide and deep, it is difficult to move or store.
- The listed 1800W power draw may limit where it can be plugged in.
- Product information conflicts on whether the cooking plate is aluminum or cast iron.
Best for: Restaurant and catering teams that need a large single-plate station, high temperature capacity, and included spreading tools.
Not ideal for: Home cooks or food stalls with limited counter and storage space; its 44.6-pound body and 22-inch-square footprint are cumbersome, and the listed 1800W draw needs a suitable outlet.
- Model:WSC160X
- Power:1800W
- Voltage:120V
- Cooking surface:16-inch plate; product data describes it as aluminum and cast iron
- Maximum temperature:570°F
- Dimensions:22 x 22 x 5.5 inches
- Weight:44.6 pounds
- Certifications:cULus, NSF
Our verdict“Choose the Waring for a dedicated commercial station where its large plate, high temperature range, and included tools matter more than portability.”
Garvee Electric Crepe Maker 3400W 110V Flat Plate Crepe Griddle with Double Plate and Temp Control
Garvee is the lineup’s nonstick-focused pick for operators who want one flat plate to handle crepes, pancakes, and similar foods. Its 15.75-inch coated surface is close in size to the Waring’s 16-inch plate, while the stated 122–572°F range offers a slightly higher ceiling. That makes Garvee appealing for cooks who prioritize easy food release and cleanup rather than the Waring’s included spreading tools and commercial certifications. The listed stainless-steel construction and adjustable control add flexibility, but its 59.5-pound weight and 33.66-inch depth make it a substantial fixture. The title also says 3400W, while the specifications list 1700W; I would verify the actual electrical draw before choosing it for a particular circuit.
Pros:- 15.75-inch nonstick plate supports easy food release across several griddle foods.
- Adjustable temperature range is listed from 122°F to 572°F.
- Stainless-steel construction is specified for a durable, rust-resistant exterior.
- Versatility suits kitchens making more than crepes.
Cons:- At 59.5 pounds and 33.66 inches deep, it takes substantial space and is hard to relocate.
- The title lists 3400W, but the specifications list 1700W, leaving power requirements unclear.
- Some assembly or setup is required before use.
Best for: Food-service operators or home cooks with a permanent, roomy counter who want a nonstick plate for crepes, pancakes, and other flat-griddle foods.
Not ideal for: Mobile caterers, small kitchens, or buyers who need clearly documented electrical requirements; the unit is heavy, deep, requires setup, and its wattage information conflicts.
- Listed power:1700W; product title states 3400W
- Voltage:110V
- Plate size:15.75 inches
- Plate surface:Nonstick
- Material:Stainless steel
- Temperature range:122–572°F
- Dimensions:33.66 x 18.9 x 8.66 inches
- Weight:59.5 pounds
- Color:Silver
Our verdict“Pick Garvee if a nonstick, multi-use plate is your priority and you can confirm its power requirements and accommodate its large footprint.”
How We Picked
I compared the seven griddles on buyer-facing details available in their product descriptions: plate size and count, stated wattage and voltage, temperature-control features, cooking-surface material or coating, and how clearly each listing describes its intended setup. Those details affect batch capacity, kitchen compatibility, cooking adjustments, and day-to-day upkeep. I also considered whether the product appears suited to a simple single-station workflow or a higher-output double-head setup.
The ranking favors a balanced, usable configuration over wattage alone. Crosson leads as a practical single-head starting point; models with explicit temperature controls earn attention for adjustable cooking; and double-head options are positioned for buyers who can make use of their added capacity and meet their electrical needs. Where descriptions omit details such as independent plate controls, duty-cycle guidance, or service support, I treat that as a reason to verify specifications before purchase—not as proof of a flaw.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Rated Commercial Crepe Griddle
Before choosing a commercial crepe griddle, match its design to the work your station must handle. The following factors can help you avoid paying for capacity you cannot use or selecting a machine that strains your setup.
Match Plate Count to Your Service Pattern
A double-head griddle is most useful when you have staff and orders to keep both plates working. If crepes are occasional or made to order at a steady pace, one large plate may be easier to organize and clean around. Think about whether you need two crepes cooking at once, or whether a second station would sit idle during quieter periods. A common mistake is equating more plates with a better purchase without accounting for counter space and operator workflow. Check whether the listed plate arrangement allows enough room for batter spreading and turning. Choose capacity based on your busiest realistic service period, not an imagined peak that rarely happens.
Check Electrical Compatibility Before Comparing Wattage
The lineup includes products listed at 110V or 120V, with stated wattage from 1500W to 3500W. Those figures matter for circuit planning, but a high wattage figure by itself does not tell you how evenly a plate heats or how it performs during repeated batches. Confirm the exact voltage, plug, amperage, and circuit requirements with the seller or manufacturer and your facilities lead. Double-head units may place a greater load on a circuit, so do not assume an existing outlet can support one. Leave room in your decision for the electrical work or dedicated circuit a kitchen may need. A lower-wattage option that suits your setup can be a better operational choice than a more powerful machine you cannot run reliably.
Decide How Much Temperature Control You Need
Temperature control is more valuable when several cooks share a station, recipes vary, or the griddle will handle repeated batches throughout a shift. A control and gauge lights can make settings easier to monitor, but the listing should clarify what the indicator reports and whether separate plates have separate controls. If the machine gives limited feedback, staff may need to rely more on consistent preheating and a repeatable cooking routine. Avoid assuming that an adjustable dial alone provides precise temperature accuracy. Ask how the control works and whether the manufacturer provides operating guidance. For a small menu with one standard batter, simpler controls may be adequate and easier to teach.
Treat the Cooking Surface as a Care Commitment
Non-stick coatings can simplify release and cleanup, while an aluminum plate is a distinct material choice that buyers should evaluate against the maker’s care instructions. Neither label tells you by itself how the surface will hold up under your utensils, cleaning routine, or daily workload. Ask which tools are recommended, whether abrasive cleaners are prohibited, and how the plate should be seasoned or cleaned if applicable. A common error is choosing a coating for easy release without checking what care it requires. Also confirm whether the plate is replaceable and what support is available if its surface wears. The right surface is the one your staff can maintain consistently, not simply the one with the most appealing label.
Verify Size, Clearance, and Service Support
A 16-inch cooking plate needs room not only for cooking but also for batter bowls, tools, safe hand movement, and ventilation around the machine. Compare the appliance’s full footprint—not just the plate diameter—with your counter and storage space. Double-head models may need more room and can change how staff move through a busy station. Before buying for commercial use, ask about warranty terms, replacement parts, repair channels, and expected operating guidance. These details are easy to overlook when product listings focus on plate size and wattage. A machine that fits your counter and has a clear support path can be a safer long-term choice than a feature-heavy unit with unclear service arrangements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a double-head crepe griddle worth choosing over a single-head model?
It is worth choosing when your order volume, staffing, and counter layout let you use both plates regularly. The 16-inch double-head options in this roundup list 3400W or 3500W, so their capacity comes with added electrical and space demands. A single-head unit may be a better fit for a smaller menu, a new crepe station, or service where cooks need to focus on one crepe at a time. Ask whether each plate has its own temperature control, since the product descriptions do not establish that for every double-head model. Compare expected simultaneous orders with circuit capacity before paying for extra cooking area.
Does a higher wattage mean a crepe griddle will cook better?
Not on its own. Wattage describes electrical power, but it does not establish heat distribution, recovery between batches, control accuracy, or the quality of the cooking surface. In this lineup, the listed figures span 1500W to 3500W, and some higher-wattage choices also have two plates. Compare power with plate count, voltage, controls, and the manufacturer’s operating details. For a busy kitchen, confirm performance and circuit requirements with the seller rather than choosing by the largest number on the listing.
Can I run a 3400W or 3500W model from a standard outlet?
Do not assume that you can. The listings mention 110V for the 3500W double-head model and 110V for the Garvee 3400W model, but buyers still need to verify amperage, plug type, circuit capacity, and any installation requirements. Have a qualified electrician or your facilities team check the intended outlet before purchase. A listed voltage does not confirm that a particular kitchen circuit can safely support the appliance. Get the manufacturer’s full electrical specification in writing if the listing does not provide it.
What should I verify before buying a non-stick commercial crepe griddle for daily use?
Check the maker’s cleaning instructions, recommended utensils, coating-care guidance, and whether the plate can be replaced. Non-stick language does not reveal how the surface responds to frequent service or the cleaners used in your kitchen. Ask about warranty coverage for the cooking surface and how replacement parts are obtained. Train staff to follow the manufacturer’s instructions rather than relying on habits from other griddles. If daily volume is high, ask the seller for duty-cycle guidance suited to commercial operation.
Which details should I confirm when a listing does not explain controls or service?
Ask whether temperature settings are adjustable, how indicators work, and whether separate plates can be controlled independently. Confirm the full electrical requirements, dimensions, warranty terms, replacement-part availability, and the service contact for repairs. These questions matter especially for double-head models, where a control or service issue could affect more than one cooking surface. Product descriptions in this roundup do not provide every operational detail, so avoid treating missing information as a feature. If a seller cannot answer basic compatibility and support questions, compare another model with clearer documentation.
Conclusion
For most buyers, I’d choose the Crosson 16-inch, 1800W griddle as the best overall because it offers a full-size single-head format without the electrical demands listed for the double-head options. The 1500W non-stick model is the best value-minded pick for buyers who want a simpler configuration, though I’d verify its controls and support before commercial daily use. For a premium-style capacity choice, consider the Garvee 3400W double-plate model if your kitchen can support its power needs; the 3500W double-head option is another fit for buyers who value stated temperature control and gauge lights. Beginners are better served by a single-head model that keeps the workflow simple, with the Crosson or FOHERE as options to compare. For a station that needs two cooking surfaces, focus on the double-head units and confirm circuit capacity, independent controls, dimensions, and service support before deciding.
