The AccuTemp GGF1201A2450-S2 Accu-Steam™ Countertop Griddle is a natural gas model that is ENERGY STAR compliant. It features a 23.9" x 30" cooking surface and is stand-mounted. Unlike other gas griddles on the market, this griddle uses infrared burners to heat a hermetically sealed steam chamber, which then applies heat evenly to the stainless steel griddle plate. This eliminates hot and cold spots on the cooking surface and allows for quick recovery time.
The temperature of the griddle can be controlled using the front-mounted controls and the digital thermostat. The thermostat can be set between 200°F and 400°F, and there are 3 preset temperatures that can be configured for easy temperature changes. There is also a manager mode that can be used to lockout temperature controls. Grease management is made easy with the 3-½" wide grease trough that runs the full width of the cooking surface and empties into a 5 qt. grease drawer. The griddle also features integrated rear and side splashes to contain grease splatter.
The griddle comes with a 5-foot power cable and can be connected to a 120v/60/1-ph power source. The stand has a single shelf and comes with casters for easy mobility. Additional restaurant equipment, cooking equipment, and commercial grills are also available.
The griddle has several standard control features including a control guard, heating indicator light, over temperature indicator light, and instant surface temperature readout. The digital thermostat allows for precise temperature control, and the manager mode can be used to lockout temperature controls.
The construction features of the griddle include a control guard, a wide front grease trough, a drop chute to a grease pan, a high rear splash, and tapered side walls. The griddle plate is made of 7 gauge stainless steel and the body is made of polished stainless steel.
The griddle's performance features include infrared burners, a hermetically-sealed steam chamber, rapid surface temperature recovery, and even heat distribution. The griddle plate is smooth and easy to clean, and the steam transfers heat evenly to the entire cooking surface with minimal temperature variation.
There are also several options and accessories available for the griddle, including a condiment board, chain package, propane option, maritime package, correction package, "U" channel for connecting 2 griddles, front mounted prep shelf.
