The Omcan 43731 Gas Griddle
The Omcan CE-CN-G36M is a 36-inch countertop gas griddle with 3 independently controlled stainless steel burners producing 90,000 BTU/hr. Three cooking zones across the 36" x 20" surface give you enough room to run a full breakfast service (eggs, pancakes, and bacon/sausage simultaneously) or a lunch rush with burgers, grilled chicken, and vegetables all on the same griddle. This is the workhorse size for diners, sports bars, cafeterias, and hotel breakfast kitchens that depend on griddle cooking for a significant portion of their menu.
3/4-Inch Thick Polished Steel Griddle Plate
The cooking surface is 3/4" thick polished steel, which is significantly thicker than the stamped plates found on residential or light-duty griddles. Thick steel stores more heat energy and recovers temperature faster when cold food hits the surface, so you get consistent searing and browning from the first order to the last. The polished finish on the plate creates a smoother cooking surface that develops a natural seasoning over time, improving nonstick performance without chemical coatings. Back and side splash guards are fully welded to the griddle plate, preventing grease from dripping behind the unit or onto adjacent equipment. A removable full-width waste tray with a weep hole collects grease runoff and makes end-of-day cleaning straightforward.
Manual Control with 3 Independent Cooking Zones and LP Conversion Kit
Each burner has its own manual valve with a large, robust dial control that is easy to adjust even with greasy hands. Manual valves with standing pilot ignition mean the burners light reliably every time without electronic igniters that can fail in a greasy kitchen environment. The griddle ships configured for natural gas with a 3/4-inch rear gas connection, and a propane (LP) conversion kit (item 42970) is included in the box so you can run it on either fuel source. Gas conversion must be completed by an approved gas field technician. Stainless steel construction throughout the body and burners provides durability and easy cleaning. Heavy-duty adjustable feet keep the griddle level and stable on any countertop surface.
