Available Options
This 40 cm gas-fired griddle provides a flat or ribbed steel cooking surface for high-volume kitchens operating continuous service. The unit delivers 3.25 kW heat output across a compact 40 × 70 cm footprint, sized for table-top or counter installation. Operators use it for burgers, eggs, bacon, vegetables, and flatbreads during peak breakfast and lunch periods.
Commercial Application
The griddle occupies minimal counter space while offering simultaneous cooking of multiple menu items. Kitchen staff control heat zones independently to manage products with different temperature requirements. The grease channel directs run-off into a front collection tray, reducing smoke and simplifying mid-service wipe-down.
During breakfast service, one operator can prepare eggs, bacon, and hash browns simultaneously. Burger operations use the ribbed surface for sear marks and the smooth surface for buns. The 51 kg weight and table-top height allow installation in food trucks, pop-up kitchens, and kiosks where floor-standing equipment is impractical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface chrome-plated or raw steel?
A: The surface is 10 mm mild steel, factory-seasoned with a non-stick carbon layer. Chrome plating is not used on commercial griddles due to heat degradation above 200°C. Operators re-season the plate every 40–60 service hours using vegetable oil and a 180°C heat cycle.
Q: Can this unit convert between LPG and natural gas?
A: The burner operates on both fuel types without parts replacement. LPG requires 37 mbar supply pressure; natural gas requires 20 mbar. Operators adjust the gas valve regulator screw according to the label diagram.
Q: How is grease managed during high-volume service?
A: The cooking surface slopes 2° toward the front grease channel. Run-off drains into a removable stainless steel tray with 1.2 litre capacity. Operators empty the tray mid-service during heavy bacon or burger production.
Q: Is this griddle suitable for food truck installation?
A: The 40 × 70 × 85 cm footprint and 51 kg weight allow counter-mounting in vehicles with LPG cylinder supply. The unit requires 150 mm clearance above the flue outlet and 100 mm rear clearance for gas connection. Secure the base using M8 bolts through the corner mounting holes.
Q: Does the griddle offer temperature zone control?
A: The single burner provides uniform heat across the full surface. Operators create zones by adjusting the gas valve to low flame, then positioning high-temperature items over the burner centre and low-temperature items toward the edges. Multi-zone control requires a segmented burner model.
