This 50 cm cast iron griddle runs on natural gas and provides dual-surface cooking capability. The reversible cast iron plate offers flat and corrugated sides for meat searing, breakfast items, and flatbread preparation. Designed for high-frequency commercial use in burger kitchens, breakfast cafés, and hotel operations.
Commercial Application
Positioned as a primary cooking surface in fast-service environments where multiple products cook simultaneously. The dual-surface design allows operators to switch between flat griddle cooking and grill-mark presentation without changing equipment. Stainless steel construction meets commercial kitchen hygiene standards.
During peak service, the cast iron surface maintains temperature across cooking zones while handling burgers, bacon, eggs, and flatbreads in rotation. Natural gas operation delivers consistent BTU output for continuous throughput. The reversible plate configuration reduces equipment footprint in compact kitchen layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface chrome-plated or cast iron?
A: The cooking surface is solid cast iron, not chrome plating. Cast iron provides superior heat retention and develops a seasoned non-stick patina with regular use. The plate is removable for maintenance and reversal between flat and corrugated sides.
Q: Does this griddle run on gas or electric heating?
A: This unit operates on natural gas only. It uses a commercial gas burner beneath the cast iron plate. No electric heating element or voltage supply required.
Q: How is grease managed during cooking?
A: The cast iron plate slopes toward a grease channel at the front edge. Drippings flow into a removable stainless steel drip tray beneath the cooking surface. The tray slides out for cleaning during service intervals.
Q: Can this griddle be installed in a food truck?
A: Yes. The 50 cm width and natural gas operation suit food truck installations where space and gas supply are available. Installation must comply with mobile catering gas safety regulations in your jurisdiction.
Q: How are different temperature zones controlled on the surface?
A: The gas valve controls overall burner output beneath the cast iron plate. Temperature variation across the surface occurs naturally based on distance from the burner. Operators position items according to required heat intensity.
