This offer ends in:
The YGPL800 is a three-burner gas griddle operating at 8.25 kW across an 800 mm smooth steel cooking surface. It processes multiple proteins, vegetables, and breakfast components simultaneously during high-volume service periods. Operators in burger restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations use this unit as a primary flat-top cooking surface.
Commercial Application
This griddle functions as a multi-zone cooking platform during peak service. Three independently controlled burners allow operators to maintain separate temperature zones for proteins, vegetables, and holding areas. The 6 mm steel plate retains heat during continuous product loading.
During breakfast service, the unit handles eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes across designated zones. Burger operations cook patties on high-heat sections while toasting buns and caramelizing onions on lower-temperature areas. The drip tray collects fats and liquids without interrupting workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a smooth steel plate and a chrome-plated surface?
A: Steel plates retain heat longer and withstand higher temperatures during continuous cooking. Chrome surfaces provide easier cleaning but lose heat faster when cold product loads onto the surface. This unit uses 6 mm steel for heat retention during high-volume service.
Q: Can this griddle operate on electric power instead of gas?
A: No. The YGPL800 is a gas-fired unit designed for natural gas or LPG only. Electric griddles require different heating elements and power supply infrastructure. Gas units deliver faster temperature recovery and higher BTU output for commercial throughput.
Q: How is grease removed during service without shutting down the griddle?
A: The oil drip tray sits beneath the cooking surface and collects runoff through a front grease channel. Operators slide the drawer out from the front during service without turning off burners. The tray is removable for cleaning between shifts.
Q: Is this griddle suitable for installation in a food truck?
A: Yes, if the truck has adequate ventilation, gas supply capacity, and countertop space (800 × 530 mm footprint). The unit requires no permanent bolting and operates on LPG cylinders with appropriate regulators. Local mobile food service codes must be verified for gas appliance installation.
Q: How do the three burners allow temperature zone control?
A: Each burner has an independent gas valve and thermostat. Operators set different temperatures across the left, centre, and right zones to cook multiple products simultaneously. One zone can run at high heat for searing while another maintains lower temperature for holding or finishing items.
