Product Details

The Counterline Heavy Duty Thermostatic Gas Griddle is engineered for precision, power, and performance in high-demand commercial kitchens. With a 30,000 BTU burner per 12" section and a 1" thick polished rolled steel plate, this griddle delivers rapid, uniform heat across the surface—thanks to the exclusive “NO COLD” Zone technology.
