#@@# Thick Steel Plate#@#
A one-inch steel griddle plate provides mass and thermal stability, resisting temperature sag during sustained use. Chefs achieve consistent sear and uniform contact heat across the entire 72-inch surface.
#@@# Zoned Thermostatic Control#@#
Embedded mechanical snap-action thermostats every 12 inches allow operators to set independent zones across the plate for simultaneous cooking at varying temperatures. This arrangement minimizes cross-contamination of flavors and streamlines workflow when preparing diverse menu items.
#@@# High Thermal Range#@#
The plate cycles between 150° and 550° F, enabling gentle warming and aggressive searing on the same platform. Staff can handle low-temperature holding and high-heat finishing without needing to change equipment.
#@@# Robust Construction#@#
A welded steel frame with a stainless-steel exterior resists warping and facilitates daily cleaning in demanding environments. The 4-3/8-inch tapered wrap-around splash guard and 3-1/2-inch front grease trough contain runoff and channel grease away from the cook line.
#@@# Serviceable Components#@#
Design features include heavy-duty metal control knobs, standing pilot ignition, and a layout that supports straightforward maintenance access. Technicians can complete routine checks and part replacements quickly, minimizing downtime.
#@@# Commercial Capacity#@#
Rated at 180,000 BTU and built for heavy-duty use, this unit supports continuous high-volume production in restaurants, institutional kitchens, and catering operations.
