Toastmaster TMGT36 36" Thermostatic Countertop Gas Griddle, 3/4" Steel Plate, 60,000 BTU

If you want a real flat top without paying for a heavy-duty line piece, the Toastmaster TMGT36 hits the sweet spot. It is a 36-inch countertop griddle with true thermostatic control, so the plate holds the temperature you set instead of drifting with every load. Diners, burger counters, breakfast spots and concession stands use this size to run eggs, pancakes and smash burgers side by side through a busy rush.

Three 20,000 BTU "U" shaped burners, one every 12 inches, heat a 3/4" thick polished steel plate for a total of 60,000 BTU/hr. Each zone has its own throttling thermostat adjustable from 150°F to 450°F, so you can keep one side hot for proteins and another gentle for eggs or holding.

What you will notice in day-to-day use

• Steady temperatures, zone by zone. Throttling thermostats on each 12" section hold your set point from 150°F to 450°F, which means more consistent color and fewer burnt edges when the tickets pile up.
• A plate that recovers fast. The ultra smooth 3/4" thick polished steel plate stores plenty of heat and bounces back quickly after you drop cold product on it.
• Even heat across the surface. Aluminized steel "U" burners spread the flame under each section rather than concentrating it in a single line.
• Easier cleanup. A spatula-wide 3-1/4" front grease trough and chute feed a 4-1/2 qt. stainless steel grease drawer, and the 4-3/8" tapered splash guard wraps around three sides to keep grease off your wall.
• Built for a busy line. Stainless steel front panel and bull nose protect the valve knobs, and a standing pilot keeps the griddle ready to fire.

Choosing your setup

Gas type: the griddle ships ready for natural gas with a universal convertible pressure regulator, and the orifices for LP conversion are included. Choose the gas your kitchen uses above. Looking for a different width or simpler controls? The same griddle comes in 24" (TMGT24) and 48" (TMGT48) widths, and in manual-control versions (TMGM series).
