MagiKitch'n MKG-48-E 48" Countertop Griddle, 1" Thick Polished Plate, Electric Thermostats, 120,000 BTU
The MagiKitch'n MKG-48-E is built for a long, busy griddle line where speed and convenience matter as much as raw output. Four feet of 1-inch thick polished steel, electric thermostats and matchless ignition make it a strong choice for hotels, high-volume breakfast restaurants and burger concepts with a steady stream of tickets.
Eight stainless steel venturi burners deliver 120,000 BTU/hr in total. Four electric thermostats, one every 12 inches, adjust from 200°F to 550°F, and their probes are embedded in the plate. The cooking surface measures 47-3/4" wide by 24" deep.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Four zones, up to 550°F. Run a hot searing section for burgers next to a cooler zone for eggs and pancakes, each with its own electric thermostat.
- Lights up with the power switch. Matchless ignition automatically lights the pilots, and the recessed pilot-ready lights and heat-on indicator let the cook see what is happening without guessing.
- True surface temperatures. Plate-embedded probes respond faster and more accurately than controls that sense the air under the plate.
- A plate that will not quit. The 1" thick polished steel plate holds its heat edge to edge and recovers quickly after heavy loads.
- Made for close quarters. The gas regulator and shutoff are factory installed and recessed for close wall installation, and the cabinet base is a solid panel for flush mounting.

Before it arrives
- Gas: 3/4" gas connection; a qualified installer should size the supply line to hold burner pressure with every appliance on full.
- Power: the matchless ignition and thermostats need a 115V supply; draw is only 0.88 A.
- Ventilation: install under a commercial hood following local code, and do not block the flue or place hood drains over it.
- Clearance: keep 6" at the rear and 2" at the sides from combustible surfaces (0" sides next to non-combustible). If you mount it on a stand with casters, use a flexible gas hose with a restraint.
- Delivery: ships crated at about 640 lb (52" x 45" x 42"); stands ship separately.
