MagiKitch'n MKG-48-ST 48" Countertop Griddle, 1" Thick Polished Plate, Solid State Thermostats, 120,000 BTU
High-volume operations that cannot afford a cold spot on the griddle should look hard at the MagiKitch'n MKG-48-ST. It gives you 48 inches of 1-inch thick polished steel with four solid state thermostats, the most precise control in the MKG series, for chains, institutional kitchens and busy brunch restaurants with demanding specs.
Eight stainless steel venturi burners, one every 6 inches, provide a total of 120,000 BTU/hr. Four solid state thermostats with plate-embedded probes cover 150°F to 550°F, one per 12-inch zone, across a 47-3/4" wide by 24" deep cooking area.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Precision across four feet. Solid state thermostats in every 12" zone keep each section where you set it, so product cooks the same at the left end as at the right.
- Low enough to hold, hot enough to sear. The 150°F to 550°F range lets you hold cooked items gently on one zone while another runs at full searing heat.
- Automatic pilot lighting. Matchless ignition lights the pilots when the power comes on; pilot-ready lights, recessed power switches and a heat-on light keep it simple.
- Built for long days. A 1" thick polished plate, double-walled stainless sides and all-stainless independent venturi burners are made for continuous service.
- Quick to clean. Extra smooth 11 ga. skirting, a tapered splash back, no exposed fasteners and a 3.75 gallon grease box with splash zone compartment.

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.
