Save time, space, and money in busy commercial kitchens with the Southbend SSB-45 Platinum Series Broiler/Griddle. This gas-powered combination allows you to cook multiple food items with different techniques and temperatures using just one piece of equipment. Made from durable stainless steel, the front, side, and back of the griddle broiler combo can handle the demands of high-volume kitchens. Southbend, a division of the Middleby Corporation, has been providing top-quality commercial kitchen equipment since 1898, ensuring that this broiler/griddle is designed and manufactured with exceptional quality. This versatile cooking equipment is perfect for searing meats and locking in their juicy flavors before finishing them in the broiler. The 1/2"-thick plate heats up quickly, saving you time. The spacious 40 3/4" by 28" cooking surface allows you to cook a large number of food items simultaneously, ideal for serving a long line of customers. The griddle is also equipped with 4" splash guards to prevent grease from splattering, and a removable 2 1/2-quart grease catch for easy cleanup. Once your meats are perfectly browned, you can transfer them to the broiler using the pull-out adjustable rack. The broiler features independent variable burner controls, allowing you to heat up specific sections or all sections at once. The patent-pending paddle release allows you to set the rack in nine positions, giving you precise control over your cooking settings. The broiler also has cool-to-touch knobs and handles for added safety. The chrome-plated grids of the rack accelerate the heating process and prevent food from sticking, making cleanup a breeze. Grease drippings are collected in the 7 3/4-quart grease drawer, which can be easily removed for disposal. The Southbend SSB-45 comes with a 27 1/2" equipment stand with an open shelf for convenient storage. The stainless steel legs are adjustable and can be equipped with casters and a cable restraint kit for added stability. Alternatively, you can mount the unit on a countertop, cabinet base, or refrigerator/freezer base using shorter legs. Southbend's stainless steel refrigerator bases are a great option for supporting the weight of this unit. Additional options include a 7 3/4" front rail at no extra cost, as well as square belly bar mounts or a front rail with cutouts for saucepans at
