Built for continuous high-volume cooking, this 72-inch countertop griddle offers consistent heat distribution and sustained throughput for commercial kitchens. Operators can achieve rapid surface recovery across a 1-inch polished steel plate, enabling sequential high-demand tasks without flavor loss or uneven searing. This unit meets heavy-duty service requirements for restaurants, hospitals, universities, and large catering operations.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug gas supply and let the griddle cool. Scrape residue from the 1" steel plate with a flat scraper. Wipe surface with warm water and mild degreaser, rinse, and dry. Clean grease trap and remove debris. Vacuum around burners and vents; inspect flame failure devices. Polish stainless steel exterior with non-abrasive cleaner. Check seals and thermostatic controls.#@@#Additional Info#@#The Southbend HDG-72-LP griddle offers a 72" x 24" cooking surface with a 1" steel plate and solid-state controls, delivering 180,000 BTU via propane.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Built for continuous high-volume cooking, this 72-inch countertop griddle offers consistent heat distribution and sustained throughput for commercial kitchens.

#@@# Surface Heat Control#@#
Thermostatic solid-state controls precisely regulate plate temperature, enabling repeatable cook profiles for proteins and sandwiches. Thermostat feedback minimizes temperature drift during peak cycles, maintaining consistent product quality and reducing rework.
#@@# Robust Cook Plate#@#
A 1" polished steel plate ensures uniform heat transfer and resists warping under prolonged thermal stress. Its thick construction provides long thermal mass, shortening recovery time when transitioning between high and low load periods.
#@@# High Output Burners#@#
Six burners generate a combined 180,000 BTU, supporting simultaneous multi-station cooking and rapid boil-off when necessary. The distributed burner design concentrates power across the full 72" width, eliminating cold zones and enhancing throughput.
#@@# Safety Ignition System#@#
Battery spark ignition with flame failure protection guarantees immediate start-up and shuts off the fuel supply if a flame extinguishes. Redundant safety measures lower risk during unattended operation and simplify daily startup protocols.
#@@# Sanitary Exterior#@#
The stainless steel front and sides present a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that meets NSF requirements and simplifies cleaning. Welded seams and accessible grease collection points reduce contamination risk and speed up sanitation cycles.
#@@# Installation Flexibility#@#
The countertop configuration with 4" adjustable legs accommodates variable work heights and uneven floors without structural modification.

• Delivery times may vary based on location.#@@#deliverynotes#@#NA#@@#Maintenance Guide#@#Inspect the griddle plate daily for food debris and carbon buildup; scrape residues with a stainless steel spatula while the plate is warm, then apply a light film of neutral oil to prevent corrosion. Drain grease trays after each service and sanitize with a food-safe solution. Check thermostatic controls and ignition components weekly for secure connections and proper operation. Verify flame failure devices and CSA/NSF seals during monthly preventive inspections.
