Asber AEMG-24-EM 24 In. Emerald Series Manual Gas Griddle, 1 In. Plate, 60,000 BTU

SKUAEMG-24-EM BrandAsber

The Asber AEMG-24-EM Gas Griddle

The Asber AEMG-24-EM is the Emerald Series 24 In. manual griddle built around a 1 In. thick cold rolled plate, the heavy plate that holds its temperature when frozen product hits it. 2 stainless steel U type burners at 30,000 BTU each sit on 12 In. centers, 60,000 BTU across the surface, so smash burgers on one end do not steal heat from eggs on the other. The cooking area runs a full 24 In. deep with a 4 In. high 14 gauge perimeter splash guard keeping grease off the wall and the neighboring station.

1 In. Thick Cold Rolled Fully Welded Plate

Thin griddle plates cool the moment a case of frozen patties lands, then take minutes to climb back. This 1 In. polished plate has the thermal mass to power through, with fully welded, reinforced seams that prevent the leaks and heat loss bolt-together griddles develop. Burners every 12 In. keep the surface even edge to edge, and a standing pilot for every two burners means zone-by-zone heat control across the plate.

2 Gallon Grease System With Drip Indicator

A 4 In. deep grease channel drains the surface into a 2 gallon stainless steel tray with a built in drip indicator, so you can see when it needs emptying instead of discovering it on the floor. The body is stainless steel across the front, sides, and 4 In. landing ledge, fully insulated on the front, sides, and bottom, riding on a 14 gauge stainless U frame. Zamak knobs and a NG to LPG conversion kit finish it out.

This unit fits restaurant cooklines, food trucks with the clearance for it, and any counter station cooking on flat-top in volume. If your menu needs holding-temperature precision rather than manual zones, the Emerald thermostatic griddle line adds thermostat control per two burners. 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.

About Gas Griddles

Commercial gas griddles are a staple in most professional kitchens. They offer a large, flat cooking surface with even heat, which is essential for breakfast service, burgers, sandwiches, and high-volume menus. Gas models heat up fast, recover quickly, and are cheaper to run than electric. If you need a 24 inch countertop unit or a larger flat top for a busy line, a commercial gas griddle gives you the speed and surface area to keep up.

Common Types and Configurations

Countertop gas griddles: Sit on a prep counter and save floor space. Available in several widths to fit your kitchen.
Commercial flat top griddles: Large surface for high-volume cooking. Standard in diners, breakfast spots, and full service restaurants.
24 inch commercial gas griddles: Compact for small kitchens or as a backup station. Suited for lower volume menus.
36 to 48 inch gas griddles: Mid-size units for most full service kitchens running steady volume.
60 inch gas griddles: High capacity for large volume kitchens where the griddle runs all day.

What to Look at Before You Buy

Size and width: Match the griddle to your menu volume and available space. 24 inch units work for low volume. 48 to 60 inch units are for high-volume kitchens.
BTU output: Higher BTU gives faster heat recovery. This matters in busy kitchens with constant orders.
Plate thickness: Thicker plates hold heat better and cook more evenly. Thin plates heat up fast but lose heat under heavy use.
Plate finish: Smooth plates are standard. Grooved plates add grill marks and help drain grease.
Number of burners: More burners give you more temperature zones. Useful for cooking different items at once.
Controls: Manual controls are simple and reliable. Some models have thermostatic controls for more precise temps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of griddle do restaurants use?

Most restaurants use commercial flat top gas griddles. They heat up fast, hold steady temps, and handle high volume. Gas is the standard for diners, breakfast spots, burger joints, and any kitchen running a griddle all day. The best commercial gas griddles combine thick steel plates, high BTU output, and reliable controls for consistent results through multiple services. Electric griddles are used where gas is not available or when precise temperature control is needed.

How long does a commercial griddle last?

A well-maintained commercial gas griddle can last 10 to 15 years or longer. The plate is the key part. Thick steel plates last longer and resist warping. Clean regularly, season the plate, and avoid pouring cold water on a hot surface to extend the life of your griddle.

What is the difference between a griddle and a flat top grill?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are small differences. A griddle usually means a smooth, flat surface for eggs, pancakes, and sandwiches. A flat top grill is similar but often used for higher heat cooking like burgers and proteins. In most commercial kitchens, both terms mean the same thing: a large, flat gas or electric cooking surface.
