Nadstar Gas Groove Griddle Chapati Maker HGG-718

Our review

This is a gas-powered flat griddle from Nadstar, built around a grooved plate for making chapati and similar flatbreads. The stainless steel body includes a splash guard, and the thick steel plate is designed to hold heat evenly, which matters when you are cooking several rounds back to back. A fat drainage drawer keeps excess oil out of the way, and a thermostat controller lets you adjust the temperature as you work. It suits someone cooking chapati in quantity, whether for a family or a small food business, rather than someone who only makes two or three at a time. Before buying, check the plate size against the number of chapati you need per batch, confirm the gas type and connection your kitchen uses, and think about how the unit will sit on your counter or stand. Compare it with lighter non-stick electric griddles, which heat faster but often lose temperature under a heavy load, and with larger commercial griddles that cost more and take up more space. The CE certification noted for most of the electric griddles in this range is worth confirming for the specific unit you order. Available on Sokonia.
