Serv-Ware SMGS-48 48" Countertop Manual Griddle, 4 Burners, 120,000 BTU, 3/4" Steel Plate
When the flat top carries a big share of the menu, a 48-inch plate gives your cooks room to breathe. The Serv-Ware SMGS-48 suits busy breakfast restaurants, burger and cheesesteak shops, cafeterias and catering kitchens that need to cook in volume and keep several items going at once, while keeping the controls as simple as possible.
Four steel U-shaped burners, each rated 30,000 BTU/hr, add up to 120,000 BTU/hr under a 3/4" thick steel plate. Each 12" section has its own manual valve.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Room for the rush. Four feet of cooking surface lets you lay down a full order of burgers, a row of pancakes and a pile of onions at the same time.
- Four controls, four temperatures. One manual valve per 12" section means you can heat only what you need during slower hours and save gas.
- Even heat, fast recovery. U-shaped burners spread the flame under each section, and the 3/4" plate keeps a good reserve of heat.
- Always ready to fire. Standing pilots mean the griddle is ready as soon as the cook turns a knob.
- Easy to keep clean. Stainless steel front and sides and a bottom oil collector make daily cleaning straightforward.
