#@@# Radiant Heat#@#
Cast iron radiants effectively transfer heat directly to the cooking surface, producing uniform searing across the 18-inch width. Chefs achieve repeatable grill marks and controlled caramelization, while the radiant design minimizes flare-ups compared to open flames.
#@@# Burner System#@#
Stainless steel burners provide the 60,000 BTU output and utilize a standing pilot ignition for reliable lighting. Technicians appreciate manual controls that allow precise flame adjustments and straightforward service procedures.
#@@# Cooking Grid#@#
A two-position, two-sided cast iron grid offers both flat and tilt orientations for direct grilling or angled grease management. Kitchen staff can employ flexible cooking methods and expedite clean cycles by flipping the grid to accommodate different product types or cleanup requirements.
#@@# Construction Durability#@#
The stainless steel front, sides, and 4-inch adjustable legs ensure corrosion resistance and stable installation on uneven counters. Facilities managers anticipate a long service life and easier sanitation, as exterior materials resist food soils and can be cleaned with commercial detergents.
#@@# Grease Management#@#
A removable crumb tray and tilt grid geometry effectively channel drippings away from the heat source, reducing smoke and concentrating cleanup at a single access point. Line cooks can quickly remove and empty the tray, minimizing downtime between service periods.
