#@@# Cooking Surface#@#
The 18" by 24" cooking area with a 3/4" thick polished steel plate provides stable thermal mass and uniform heat transfer. Kitchens benefit from reduced temperature variance when moving pans or adjusting product placement.
#@@# Heat Output#@#
A 45,000 BTU output ensures rapid recovery and supports continuous high-throughput cycles for searing, griddling, and short-order cooking. Long service periods are sustained without frequent performance drops.
