The MSA48-30 Heavy Duty Gas Griddle from Vulcan is an excellent choice for commercial kitchens that require a gas-heated countertop griddle designed for heavy use. This griddle features a 48" wide griddle plate and thermostatic controls, ensuring precise temperature control. The U-shaped burners distribute heat evenly across the 1" thick polished steel griddle plate, eliminating hot or cold spots. The thick griddle plate retains heat effectively, maintaining the cooking temperature for optimal results. The 30" depth of the cooking surface provides additional griddling space without increasing the width.
With four control knobs, this griddle allows for temperature adjustment from 200°F to 550°F, ensuring the desired temperature is achieved. The four 27,000 BTU/hr U-shaped burners, spaced 12" apart, evenly distribute heat across the griddle plate. Each pair of burners is equipped with a pilot safety valve, ensuring kitchen safety. The burners use manual ignition.
The stainless steel exterior sides, front, and front ledge not only enhance the griddle's appearance but also make it easy to clean. The fully welded aluminized steel chassis ensures durability. A large 6 qt. stainless steel drawer is provided for grease storage, allowing for easy disposal of excess grease and debris. The 3-½" wide stainless steel grease trough can accommodate spatulas.
This countertop griddle is mounted on adjustable 4" legs, allowing for easy leveling. It has a cooking height of 11". The griddle requires 108,000 BTU/hr of gas input through its ¾" rear gas connection.
