The Imperial ISAE-48 is a 48" gas countertop griddle. It is rated at 96,000 BTU total input and runs on natural gas or liquid propane.
Heavy Steel Plate, Even Heat
Burners on 12" centers with aeration baffles between them spread heat across the full plate, and the thick polished steel holds temperature when cold product goes on.
Stainless front, sides and splash guard with a one-piece rolled ledge make the unit easy to wipe down at the end of a shift.
