MagiKitch'n MKG-60-E 60" Countertop Griddle, 1" Thick Plate, Electric Thermostats, 150,000 BTU

Sixty inches of 1-inch steel is a lot of griddle, and the MagiKitch'n MKG-60-E is built to be worked hard from one end to the other. It is aimed at operations where the flat top never really cools down: high-volume breakfast lines, burger and cheesesteak shops, hotel banquet kitchens and campus dining.

Ten stainless steel venturi burners, one every 6 inches, put out 150,000 BTU/hr in total. Heat is managed in five 12-inch zones, each with its own electric thermostat adjustable from 200°F – 550°F, and the matchless ignition lights the pilots automatically when you switch the power on. The polished plate gives you a 59-3/4" x 24" cooking surface.

What you will notice in day-to-day use

• Five zones to plan around. Run a hot sear zone for burgers, a medium zone for eggs and a cooler holding zone at the same time, each controlled separately.
• No hunting for a lighter. Matchless ignition lights the pilot as soon as the power is on, with pilot-ready and heat-on indicator lights recessed in the front.
• Readings from the plate itself. Temperature probes are embedded in the plate, so the thermostats respond to the actual cooking surface for quicker, more accurate recovery.
• Grease goes where it should. A 3-1/2" spatula-wide front trough with a fully welded chute drains to a 3.75 gallon grease box with a splash-zone compartment.
• Safe and tidy against the wall. Safety pilots shut off on flame loss, and the regulator and shutoff are recessed so the griddle can sit close to the wall.
• Simple to clean. Double-walled stainless sides, a tapered back splash, no exposed fasteners and a removable cabinet back make closing faster.

Choosing your setup

Gas type: the griddle is built for natural gas or liquid propane; choose the gas your kitchen uses above. Supply and burner pressures for each gas:

Prefer a wider temperature range down to 150°F? The MKG-60-ST uses solid state thermostats. The MKG series also comes in 24", 36" and 48" widths.

Specifications

Before it arrives

• Gas and power: 3/4" gas inlet; a qualified installer should connect it and confirm supply pressure. The matchless ignition and thermostats also need a 115V outlet (1.10 A).
• Ventilation: install under a commercial hood and do not block the flue at the rear, per your local code.
• 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: the griddle ships on its own crate (about 750 lb, 75" x 45" x 40"); stands ship separately. Plan for a liftgate or dock.
