With over 125 years of experience, Southbend is a trusted leader in commercial kitchen equipment.

Designed for high-demand environments, our broilers deliver unmatched speed, consistency, and durability. Featuring high BTUs, they provide some of the hottest cooking surfaces on the market, ensuring even cooking every time.
Built to withstand the toughest kitchen demands, our broilers have a heavy-duty, hand-built stainless steel frame for lasting durability. They include a polished 430 stainless steel exterior, a 430 stainless steel interior, and a roll-out broiler grid with five height positions. With up to 104,000 BTUs per deck, separate controls, and constant-burning pilot lighters, our broilers offer precise heat control.
