The Serv-Ware SMGS-60 is the largest griddle in the SMGS manual series and is built for kitchens where the flat top never really gets a break. Five feet of cooking surface gives high-volume breakfast operations, buffets, hotel kitchens and busy burger counters the room to run several menu items at once without crowding.
Five steel U-shaped burners rated 30,000 BTU/hr each deliver 150,000 BTU/hr in total. There is one manual control for every 12" of width, and on this model the griddle plate is a full 1" thick steel.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- A heavy plate for heavy use. The 1" thick steel plate stores a lot of heat, so the surface stays steady when you load it edge to edge.
- Five zones to work with. Separate controls every 12" let you set different temperatures across the plate, or shut sections down in slow periods.
- Plenty of power. 150,000 BTU/hr in total from U-shaped burners that spread the flame under each section.
- Quick start every shift. Standing pilots keep the burners ready to light, and chrome-coated zinc alloy knobs are easy to grip.
- Simple cleanup. A bottom oil collector and stainless steel front and sides keep closing time short.
