#@@# Cast Iron Hotplates#@#
Two cast iron star-pattern burners provide focused heat for pots and pans, each rated at 24,000 BTU for fast searing and steady simmering. The 12" x 12" grates distribute heat evenly and resist warping, reducing hot spots during extended use.
#@@# Thick Griddle Plate#@#
The 36" x 21", 3/4" thick griddle plate stabilizes surface temperature under heavy use. Chefs achieve consistent cooking for pancakes, eggs, and proteins, while the plate’s thickness minimizes recovery time between batches.
#@@# Integrated Cheesemelter#@#
The 30" pull-out cheesemelter rack with stainless steel wire mesh radiant enables quick finishing and browning without needing a separate unit. The drawer design ensures controlled hold times and even cheese melting across pans or trays.
#@@# Countertop Installation#@#
Designed for countertops, the unit fits compact kitchens, concession lines, and satellite stations. Optional 6" legs allow elevated installation. Its 15" height maximizes under-shelf clearance and integrates with modular worklines.
#@@# Manual Controls And Gas Hookup#@#
Four manual knobs independently regulate hotplates, griddle, and cheesemelter for multi-application workflows. Dual 3/4" natural gas connections simplify plumbing and reduce pressure drops in large systems.
#@@# Sanitation And Service Access#@#
A stainless steel exterior and removable parts enable quick cleaning and meet NSF standards. The pull-out cheesemelter, lift-off grates, and accessible burners reduce downtime for maintenance.
