The PGF1201B3650-T1 Accu-Steam™ Countertop Griddle from AccuTemp is a tabletop griddle that runs on liquid propane. It has a cooking area of 862 sq. in. and can reach a maximum output of 70,000 BTU/hr.
What sets this griddle apart is its hermetically sealed vacuum chamber, which applies heat to its 7 gauge stainless steel griddle plate. The vacuum chamber is heated with infrared burners, and steam evenly distributes the heat to the cooking surface, eliminating hot and cold spots. The temperature variance on the griddle plate is only ±5°F, ensuring accurate cooking temperatures. This allows operators to cook based on time rather than the color of the food, resulting in consistent results and even ticket times.
The griddle's temperature is controlled by a digital thermostat that can be adjusted between 200°F and 400°F. It also has 3 temperature presets for convenience. The manager mode can be used to disable unauthorized temperature changes for applications that only require a single temperature.
Cleaning the griddle is easy, as grease and debris can be removed from the cooking surface into a ½" deep, 3" wide grease trough that empties into a 6-½ quart grease drawer. The grease drawer is located at the front of the unit for easy emptying.
The griddle comes with standard control features such as a control guard, heating indicator light, over temperature indicator light, and instant surface temperature readout. It also has construction features like 4" legs with bullet feet, a full front grease trough, and a drop chute to a grease pan. The griddle plate is made of 7 gauge stainless steel and has a rear splash and tapered side walls. The body of the griddle is made of polished stainless steel.
Performance-wise, the griddle uses infrared burners and a hermetically-sealed steam chamber to heat the griddle plate efficiently. It has rapid surface temperature recovery, allowing for consistent cooking in the same spot. The smooth stainless steel griddle surface makes cleaning easy, and the steam transfers heat evenly to the entire cooking surface with only ±5°F temperature variation.
There are also various options and accessories available for the griddle, such as a condiment board, chain package, propane option, maritime package, correction package, "U" channel for connecting 2 griddles, front mounted prep shelf, and a heavy-duty stainless steel stand with a
