Product Details

The Counterline High Volume Thermostatic Gas Griddle is built for nonstop performance in demanding commercial kitchens. Powered by 30,000 BTU burners per 12" section, it delivers fast, even heat across a 1” thick polished rolled steel plate. Featuring “Insta-on” thermostatic controls with a precise temperature range of 200°F to 550°F and an embedded load-sensing thermostat, this griddle ensures consistent results, even during peak service hours. The exclusive “NO COLD” Zone guarantees uniform heat across the entire surface—ideal for high-output cooking.

Designed for durability and efficiency, this heavy-duty gas griddle includes a stainless steel front, vent, and sides, with aluminized steel rear and bottom panels. Reinforced, insulated double-wall sides help retain heat, while two 16-quart grease basins provide generous capacity for extended cooking shifts. Additional features like electronic spark ignition, a flame failure safety device, fully welded griddle plate, and stainless steel towel bar add convenience and safety. Perfect for high-volume restaurants, diners, and institutional kitchens that require serious output with reliable control.
