Toastmaster TMGM36 36" Countertop Griddle, Manual Controls, 3/4" Steel Plate, 60,000 BTU
For a lot of diners and burger joints, a 36-inch manual griddle is the workhorse of the line, and the Toastmaster TMGM36 keeps things refreshingly simple. Three burners under a thick steel plate, a quarter-turn valve for each, and a cook who knows the surface can run eggs, hash browns and smash burgers side by side all morning.
Three 20,000 BTU aluminized steel "U" shaped burners, one every 12 inches, deliver a total of 60,000 BTU/hr into an ultra smooth 3/4" thick polished steel plate with a 21-1/2" deep cooking surface. Each burner has its own 1/4-turn manual control valve, and a standing pilot keeps it ready to light.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Hands-on control. Quarter-turn manual valves respond immediately, which experienced griddle cooks often prefer for adjusting heat on the fly.
- Heat zones you can set. With a burner every 12", the 36" plate can run several zones at different heats for proteins, eggs and holding.
- A thick plate that recovers. The 3/4" polished steel plate stores plenty of heat, so it bounces back after you load cold product.
- Cleanup that keeps pace. A spatula-wide 3-1/4" front grease trough and chute drain into a 4-1/2 qt. stainless steel grease drawer, and a 4-3/8" tapered splash guard wraps around three sides.
- Protected controls. A stainless steel front panel and bull nose shield the valve knobs from bumps and spills.
Choosing your setup
Gas type: the griddle ships set up for natural gas with a universal convertible pressure regulator, and orifices for LP are included. Choose natural gas or liquid propane above to match your kitchen. Want the plate to hold a set temperature for you? The thermostatic TMGT36 shares this body, and the TMGM series also comes in 24" and 48" widths.
