Built for continuous service in high-demand kitchens, this 24-inch natural gas countertop griddle delivers robust heat and precise control to meet rigorous production schedules. Operators will rely on a 1-inch polished steel plate and 60,000 BTU input to maintain consistent sear and even surface temperatures across the full cooking area. Staff achieve predictable results under heavy-duty conditions while maintenance crews access serviceable components quickly.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug gas supply and let griddle cool before cleaning. Scrape plate with a spatula to remove debris, then use warm water and a mild degreaser; scrub with a non-abrasive pad. Rinse and dry plate to prevent rust. Clean grease drawer after each shift. Wipe stainless surfaces with a soft cloth and approved cleaner. Inspect controls and burner openings weekly; clear obstructions. Regular cleaning prevents contamination, fire risk, high utility use, equipment failure, and inspection failures.#@@#Additional Info#@#Southbend’s HDG-24-NG features a 24" x 24" cooking surface, 1" polished steel plate, solid-state controls, battery ignition, flame-failure safety, stainless steel exterior, 60,000 BTU output, CSA and NSF certifications, and 4" adjustable legs.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Built for continuous service in high-demand kitchens, this 24-inch natural gas countertop griddle delivers robust heat and precise control to meet rigorous production schedules. Operators will rely on a 1-inch polished steel plate and 60,000 BTU input to maintain consistent sear and even surface temperatures across the full cooking area. Staff achieve predictable results under heavy-duty conditions while maintenance crews access serviceable components quickly.
#@@# Thermostatic Controls#@#
Thermostatic solid-state controls provide direct setpoint regulation and steady temperature hold across the plate, minimizing temperature swings during peak cycles. Chefs adjust settings rapidly and maintain consistent output for high-volume menu items.
#@@# Thick Steel Plate#@#
A 1-inch polished steel plate offers high thermal mass for even heat distribution and prolonged surface stability under continuous load. Line cooks obtain uniform browning across the 24-inch by 24-inch cooking surface, reducing product waste and rework.
#@@# High Heat Output#@#
The unit produces 60,000 BTU to support rapid recovery when operators load cold products, preserving throughput during service peaks. Kitchens sear proteins and cook large batches without prolonged downtime between cycles.
#@@# Safety Ignition System#@#
Battery spark ignition combined with a flame failure safety device ensures reliable light-off and automatic shutoff if a flame extinguishes unexpectedly. Managers reduce risk exposure and comply with safety protocols while staff operate the line with confidence.
#@@# Stainless Steel Exterior#@#
Stainless steel front and sides resist corrosion and simplify cleaning routines, promoting hygienic surfaces in commercial environments. Facilities maintain a professional appearance and reduce time spent on surface refurbishment.
#@@#Delivery Details#@#

• Make sure to examine the product for damage before signing the delivery receipt.
• Contact customer service for delivery concerns.
• Delivery times may vary based on location.#@@#deliverynotes#@#NA#@@#Maintenance Guide#@#Inspect the griddle plate daily and scrape residues while warm to prevent carbon buildup and maintain heat transfer. Schedule a deep clean weekly: heat to 350°F, apply degreaser, scrape with a stainless steel spatula, rinse with minimal water, and dry thoroughly to avoid corrosion. Verify thermostatic controls function fully and replace the sensing element at the first sign of fluctuation. Test battery spark ignition monthly and replace batteries as needed.
