This offer ends in:
The HGT1100 is a 12 kW natural gas griddle with a 12 mm smooth steel cooking plate divided into four independently controlled zones. Each zone delivers 3 kW, allowing simultaneous preparation of eggs, burgers, vegetables, and pancakes at different temperatures. It operates as the primary cooking surface in burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens, and catering operations.
Commercial Application
This unit solves the workflow bottleneck of single-temperature cooking. Four zones allow a cook to sear beef patties at high heat while holding scrambled eggs at gentle warmth on the same surface. Grease drains into a front-mounted collection box measuring 149×129×66 mm.
During breakfast service, one operator manages toast, bacon, eggs, and hash browns without moving between appliances. A 1150 mm width accommodates 16 burger patties or 24 eggs in a single load. The smooth plate transfers to sauté vegetables or sear chicken breasts during lunch turnover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface chrome-plated or raw steel?
A: The HGT1100 uses a 12 mm mild steel plate, not chrome. Steel requires seasoning with oil before first use and periodic resurfacing to maintain a non-stick patina. Chrome griddles are a separate product category not offered in this model.
Q: Can this unit convert to electric operation?
A: No. The HGT1100 is a gas-only appliance with four burner assemblies. Electric griddles require different heating elements and control systems. This model ships with natural gas jets and an LPG conversion kit.
Q: How does grease management work during service?
A: The plate slopes toward a front grease channel that drains into a 149×129×66 mm collection box. The box slides out without tools for mid-service emptying. Operators scrape the plate toward the channel between batches.
Q: Is this unit suitable for food truck installation?
A: Yes, if the truck's LPG system and ventilation meet local codes. The 64 kg weight requires secure floor mounting. Confirm that your extraction fan matches the 12 kW BTU output and that gas line diameter supports four burners simultaneously.
Q: How do the four temperature zones operate independently?
A: Each zone has a dedicated control knob regulating its 3 kW burner. One zone can run at full heat for searing while another simmers at low output. Zones do not share gas supply or thermostat control.
