The Omcan 48597 Griddle
The Omcan 48597 is a 36-inch countertop griddle with a food-grade chrome-plated cooking surface measuring 33.6" x 19". Chrome plating on a griddle surface provides several advantages over standard steel: it is naturally non-stick once seasoned, cleans up faster between orders, resists corrosion, and distributes heat more evenly across the cooking area. At 10,800 watts on a 240V / 60Hz / 1Ph circuit, the griddle recovers temperature quickly after you load it with cold product, which is critical for maintaining a consistent sear on burgers, steaks, and breakfast items during a rush.
Food-Grade Chrome Plating with Max 572°F Temperature
The chrome surface reaches a maximum of 572°F, which is hot enough for aggressive searing and caramelization. Because chrome releases food more easily than plain steel, you use less oil and spend less time scraping between orders. That translates to cleaner-looking product with better grill marks and less stuck-on residue. Front and rear grease grooves channel rendered fat away from the cooking surface and into a collection area, keeping the active cooking zone cleaner and reducing the risk of grease fires during high-volume service. Even cooking temperature across the full surface means no hot spots that burn food on one side while undercooking on the other.
Brushed Stainless Steel Housing with Adjustable Feet
The brushed stainless steel housing gives the griddle a professional appearance and holds up to the heat, grease, and cleaning chemicals it encounters daily. Durable metal control knobs are resistant to accidental damage from bumps with pans or utensils. Adjustable feet let you level the griddle on any counter surface and align it with adjacent equipment for a clean line. At 202.4 lb and overall dimensions of 36" x 28" x 13", this is a substantial piece of equipment. The 240V connection requires bare wire installation by a certified electrician since no plug is included.
