The Asber AEHP-2-12-EM Gas Hotplate
The Asber AEHP-2-12-EM is the Emerald Series 12 In. countertop hot plate, the unit you drop onto a counter or equipment stand when the line needs 2 more burners without buying another range. Each crown type cast iron burner delivers 30,000 BTU, 60,000 BTU total, and the 26 In. deep cooking area with its 14 In. rear section takes the stock pots that shallow countertop tops cannot hold.
Crown Type 30,000 BTU Burners That Lift Off for Cleaning
The anti-clog crown burners lift straight off for cleaning, so a boil-over is a five minute fix instead of a toothbrush job around fixed jets. Heavy duty cast iron grates run 12 x 12 In. up front and 12 x 14 In. in the rear, and Asber's grate design carries full heat to the rear burners, which most competing tops treat as parking spots. Manual ignition with an independently controlled stainless steel standing pilot per burner means each station lights and holds its own flame.
Fully Insulated Low Profile Stainless Body
Stainless steel covers the front, sides, and landing ledge, with full insulation on the front, sides, and bottom panels so the counter under it does not cook. The 14 gauge stainless U frame shrugs off dropped pans, the 1 In. deep full length grease tray slides out for cleanup, and Zamak flame control knobs give precise adjustment with a solid feel. A 6 In. stainless landing ledge adds plating room, and the NG to LPG conversion kit ships in the box.
This unit fits restaurant cooklines, food trucks with the clearance for it, and any counter station cooking over open flame in volume. If you need griddle surface instead of open flame, the Emerald manual griddle line shares this footprint. Plan for a 3/4 In. or larger gas line and hood ventilation, with 3 In. of side and rear clearance to combustible construction. Adjustable stainless steel legs set height from 4 to 6 In.
