MagiKitch'n MKG-24-E 24" Countertop Griddle, 1" Plate, Electric Thermostats, 60,000 BTU
For a busy line where nobody has time to relight a pilot, the MagiKitch'n MKG-24-E is worth a look. It takes the 24-inch MKG gas griddle, with its 1-inch thick polished plate, and adds electric thermostats with matchless ignition, so the pilot lights itself when you switch the power on. A good match for hotel breakfast lines, diners, burger concepts and any kitchen short on space but long on volume.
Total input is 60,000 BTU/hr from four 15,000 BTU/hr stainless steel venturi burners, one every 6 inches. Two electric thermostats, one per 12" zone, hold 200°F to 550°F, giving you a hotter top end than the standard snap-action model. The 115V control circuit draws just 0.44 A.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Lights itself. Matchless 24VAC ignition lights the pilot automatically at power-on, and recessed pilot-ready lights and a heat-on indicator show status at a glance.
- Higher searing range. Electric thermostats reach 550°F for a hard sear, with probes embedded in the plate for fast, accurate response.
- Steady, heavy plate. A 1" thick polished steel surface measuring 23-3/4" x 24" holds temperature when the plate is fully loaded.
- Two zones on 24 inches. Independent control every 12" lets you run proteins and eggs side by side.
- Cleanup built in. A 3-1/2" front trough and welded chute feed a 3.75 gallon grease box; smooth 11 gauge skirting and no exposed fasteners wipe down fast.
Choosing your setup
Gas type: choose natural gas or liquid propane above; the griddle is built for the gas you select. It also needs a 115V, 50/60 Hz supply for the electric thermostats and ignition.
| Gas | Supply pressure | Burner pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Natural gas | 7 – 14" W.C. | 4" W.C. |
| Liquid propane | 12 – 14" W.C. | 10" W.C. |
Want the tightest control? A solid state thermostat version (150°F – 550°F) is also offered, and the MKG line comes in 36", 48" and 60" widths.
