Stop compromising throughput for consistent cook quality. This countertop hotplate and griddle with cheesemelter combines concentrated heat and flexible cooking zones to handle breakfast, lunch, and dinner lines without setup changes. Facilities with high demand gain controllable output, durable construction, and integrated finishing capability in a single 48-inch unit.
#@@# Hotplate Burners#@#
Two cast iron star pattern hotplate burners deliver targeted heat for rapid searing and steady pan holding. Operators achieve consistent browning across 12-inch by 12-inch grates while the cast iron surface retains heat to minimize recovery time between orders.
#@@# Griddle Plate#@#
A 36-inch by 21-inch griddle plate with 3/4-inch thickness provides an even cooking plane for pancakes, burgers, and sautéed items. Chefs benefit from robust thermal mass that resists warping and maintains surface temperature under continuous load.
#@@# Cheesemelter Rack#@#
A 30-inch by 18-inch pull-out cheesemelter rack with stainless wire mesh radiant enables precise finishing of melts and gratins. Staff complete plated items faster by applying direct radiant heat without moving pans to a separate oven.
#@@# High Output Rating#@#
The combination produces 108,000 BTU total to support simultaneous operations across hotplate and griddle zones. Kitchen managers realize faster cook cycles and higher throughput while maintaining consistent temperature control.
#@@# Construction Materials#@#
Stainless steel exterior and heavy cast iron components withstand commercial kitchen conditions and simplify cleaning. Maintenance teams inspect and service fewer fragile parts, extending service intervals and reducing downtime.
#@@# Installation Flexibility#@#
Countertop design accepts optional 6-inch legs or mounts directly on a work surface, and the unit ships with two 3/4-inch gas connections for liquid propane supply.
