MagiKitch'n MKG-48 48" Countertop Griddle, 1" Thick Polished Plate, Snap Action Thermostats, 120,000 BTU
When one cook needs to work a long run of steel, the MagiKitch'n MKG-48 gives them four feet of 1-inch thick polished plate with nothing complicated to learn. It is a natural workhorse for breakfast-heavy diners, cafeterias, camps and catering kitchens that turn out pancakes, hash browns and burgers by the tray.
Eight stainless steel venturi burners, 15,000 BTU/hr every 6 inches, add up to 120,000 BTU/hr. Four snap action thermostats, one every 12 inches, hold the plate between 200°F and 450°F across a 47-3/4" wide by 24" deep cooking area.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Room for volume. Almost 48" of usable width lets you batch-cook for a full dining room or bank product during a banquet push.
- Four independent zones. A thermostat every 12" means you can run four different temperatures, or shut zones down in slow periods to save gas.
- Easy for every shift. Snap action thermostats and a recessed piezo spark ignitor make lighting and setting the griddle simple, even for new staff.
- Steady under heavy loads. The 1" thick plate stores heat, so the surface bounces back quickly after a load of cold product.
- Handles the grease of a big griddle. A 3-1/2" spatula-wide front trough and welded chute drain to a 3.75 gallon grease box with splash zone compartment.
