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.
