If your establishment uses liquid propane and you are in need of an ENERGY STAR compliant griddle, look no further than the PGF1201A2450-S2 Accu-Steam™ Countertop Griddle from AccuTemp. This griddle offers a spacious 717 sq. in. cooking surface and a maximum heat output of 42,300 BTU/hr, ensuring quick and consistent temperatures. Unlike gas heated griddles from other manufacturers that use multiple "U" or "H" shaped burners to directly heat a thick cast iron griddle plate, the Accu-Steam griddle utilizes a hermetically sealed steam chamber to heat the 7 gauge stainless steel griddle plate. This innovative design eliminates temperature variations and hot/cold spots, providing a maximum temperature variance of only ±5°F. The steam chamber contains chemically pure water, similar to a boilerless jacketed steam kettle, and requires no maintenance. Infrared burners heat the water in the steam chamber, which then evenly applies heat to the griddle plate. This ensures that heat is evenly distributed across the entire cooking surface, providing near-instantaneous recovery time when food is placed on the griddle. Temperature control is made easy with a digital thermostat that offers settings from 200–400°F. The griddle also features 3 user presets for added convenience, and a manager mode that allows the temperature to be locked in if only one temperature is needed. Grease management is handled through a 3-½" wide trough at the front of the griddle, which empties into a 5-quart grease drawer. The drawer includes a weep hole to indicate when it needs to be emptied. The griddle is mounted on a sturdy stand that includes a convenient shelf for storing additional items. Casters are also included, making it easy to move the griddle around. The griddle comes with a NEMA 5-15 plug attached to a 5-foot power cable, allowing it to be plugged into any 120v/60/1-ph power outlet. With a power draw of less than ¾ of an amp, this griddle is highly efficient. In terms of construction, the griddle features a control guard, 4" legs with bullet feet, a full front grease trough, and a drop chute that leads to a grease pan with a capacity of either 5 quarts (for the 24" griddle) or 6 ½ quarts (for
