Not every kitchen has room for a big flat top, but almost every menu has something that belongs on one. The Dukers DCGM12 is a single 12-inch griddle that tucks onto a counter next to your fryer or hot plate, ideal for a cafe, food truck or bar kitchen that wants grilled sandwiches, eggs or a few burgers without giving up space.
One burner rated 29,000 BTU/hr heats a 3/4" thick polished steel plate with a cooking area of 11.85" x 20.50". The unit is 12" wide and 30" deep, and weighs about 124 lb.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- A plate that holds its heat. The 3/4" thick polished steel plate stores plenty of heat, so the surface bounces back quickly after you load it with cold product.
- One burner, simple control. A single manual control runs the whole 12" plate, so there is nothing to program and very little to go wrong.
- Pilots stay ready. Each burner has a standby pilot, so the griddle is always ready to come up to heat.
- Less mess at closing. Grease runs into a full-length seamless drip pan that is simple to remove and clean.
- Built to work on any counter. Stainless steel inside and out, with adjustable stainless legs that set the height anywhere from 15-1/4" to 17-5/8" and level it on an uneven surface.
