Omcan CE-CN-0350-240V 16 In. Electric Charbroiler with Interchangeable Grill and Griddle Plates, 3.6 kW, 240V

SKU49885 BrandOmcan

The Omcan 49885 Electric Charbroiler

The Omcan CE-CN-0350-240V is a countertop electric charbroiler with a 14-by-19-inch cooking surface that doubles as a griddle. The unit ships with two interchangeable plates: a grill plate with raised ridges for char marks on burgers, steaks, chicken, and vegetables, and a flat griddle plate for eggs, pancakes, quesadillas, and anything else that needs a smooth cooking surface. Swapping between the two takes seconds and does not require tools, so you can switch mid-service if the menu calls for it.

3.6 kW Electric Element with 250 to 300°F Range

The 3.6 kW heating element runs on a 240V single-phase circuit and holds a cooking surface temperature between 250 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit (121 to 148 degrees Celsius). That range is intentionally focused on the moderate-heat zone where most grilled items cook best without burning on the outside before the center is done. Unlike gas charbroilers that produce open flame and require hood ventilation rated for grease-laden vapors, an electric unit like this can run under a standard Type I hood and works in locations where gas lines are not available or not permitted, such as food trucks, kiosk kitchens, and second-floor restaurant spaces.

Compact Countertop Design at 16.3 Inches Wide

At 16.3 inches wide, 28 inches deep, and 12.8 inches tall, this charbroiler fits on a standard prep table or equipment shelf without dominating your workspace. It weighs 97.79 pounds, which is heavy enough to sit stable during use but still manageable for two people to move if you need to reconfigure your line. The grill plate produces authentic char marks that customers expect on grilled items, while the griddle plate gives you a second cooking option from the same piece of equipment, which is valuable in small kitchens where counter space limits how many appliances you can run at once.

    The Omcan 49885 Electric Charbroiler

    About Commercial Charbroilers

    Commercial charbroilers are made for kitchens that need steady, high-heat grilling all day. They use radiant heat from below to sear meat, poultry, and seafood. You get the char marks and flavor that flat tops and ovens can't deliver. Gas and electric models come in a range of sizes to fit your space and menu. If you're running a steakhouse, a burger spot, or any restaurant with grilled items, a charbroiler gives you the consistent sear and output you need. Countertop models are available in both gas and electric to match your kitchen setup and fuel source.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Gas commercial charbroilers: Standard in most restaurant kitchens. They recover heat quickly, cost less to run, and come in several sizes.
    • Commercial electric charbroilers: Easier to install since they don't need a gas line. Good for kitchens without gas or where you want more precise heat control.
    • Countertop charbroilers: Small units that sit on a prep counter. Best for smaller kitchens or where floor space is tight.
    • Floor model charbroilers: Larger units on legs or a stand. Made for high-volume kitchens where the charbroiler runs all service.
    • Commercial charbroiler griddle combo: Combines a charbroiler and a flat griddle in one unit. Good for kitchens that need both options.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Gas or electric: Gas charbroilers heat up faster and cost less to run. Electric models are easier to install and work where gas isn't available.
    • Size and width: Charbroilers are sized by width, usually 24 to 72 inches. Pick a size that fits your menu and kitchen space.
    • BTU output: Higher BTU means faster heat recovery. This matters in busy kitchens with steady orders.
    • Grate style: Cast iron grates hold heat and give better char marks. Stainless steel grates are easier to clean and last longer.
    • Radiants: Ceramic radiants spread heat evenly. Cast iron radiants hold heat longer. Pick what fits your menu and cooking style.
    • Installation: Gas units need a licensed installer and the right ventilation. Electric units need the right voltage and amperage. Check your kitchen's power and gas before you order.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a charbroiler and a grill?

    A charbroiler uses radiant heat from below to cook food directly over the heat source, producing char marks and a smoky flavor. A flat top grill cooks food on a solid metal surface using indirect heat. Charbroilers are better for steaks, burgers, chicken, and seafood where char and sear marks matter. Flat top grills are better for eggs, pancakes, and items that need even surface contact.

    What is the difference between a gas and electric charbroiler?

    Gas charbroilers heat up faster, recover more quickly between orders, and typically cost less to run in high-volume operations. Commercial electric charbroilers are easier to install since they don't require a gas line, and they offer more precise temperature control. For most restaurant kitchens, gas is the standard choice. Electric models work well in locations without gas or where installation simplicity is a priority.

    What size commercial charbroiler do I need for my restaurant?

    Match the size to your menu and volume. A 24 to 36 inch charbroiler works for low volume or as a backup station. Most full service kitchens use a 48 to 60 inch unit. If grilling is a main part of your menu and you run high volume, choose a larger floor model to keep up during service. The best commercial charbroiler for your kitchen is the one that matches your fuel type, volume, and available space.
