Countertop Gas Thermostatic Griddle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Comstock-Castle 3848TG is a 48-inch heavy-duty countertop thermostatic griddle, built for high-volume diner counters, sandwich shops, and breakfast lines that need a 48-inch thermostatic griddle working steady through service without dropping plate temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a real kitchen, the 80,000 BTU output is split across thermostatic zones every 12 inches, so a line cook can hold pancakes at 350°F on one zone while searing burgers at 450°F on the next, all on the same plate. The 3\/4-inch-thick polished steel plate holds heat through wave after wave of cold product, so the surface temperature doesn't crater when you load a fresh batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the right call for high-volume diner counters, sandwich shops, and breakfast lines at the high end of the volume range. If you're running a smaller line where one cook handles the griddle station, smaller siblings in the same series cut footprint and BTU draw without losing the core build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e48-Inch Polished Steel Plate at 3\/4-Inch Thickness\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cooking surface is 48 inches wide by 24 inches deep, with a 3\/4-inch-thick polished steel plate that holds heat through wave after wave of cold product without cratering the surface temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e4 Thermostatically-Controlled Heat Zones at 20,000 BTU Each\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe griddle is divided into 4 independent thermostatic zones, each rated at 20,000 BTU and controlled by a dedicated snap-action thermostat with a 200°F to 550°F range. A line cook can hold pancakes at 325°F on one zone while running burgers at 450°F on the next, with each thermostat cycling on its own so cold product loaded on one zone doesn't pull heat from the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFull-Width Front Grease Trough with Removable Catch Drawer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full-width front grease trough drains into a large-capacity catch drawer that pulls out for fast cleanout at the end of service. Stainless steel splash guards taper to 4 inches at the back of the plate, protecting back-of-house wall surfaces from spatter and keeping the unit sanitation-compliant under daily wash-down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWelded Stainless Steel Body on Stainless Steel Adjustable Legs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3848TG body is welded stainless steel with an angle iron and aluminized steel inner frame, set on stainless steel adjustable feet so you can level it on an uneven kitchen counter or stand. Welded construction holds up against the hot-cold cycling and pan abuse a countertop griddle takes every day; bolted construction works loose after a season of service and shows up as a wobble in the legs or a misaligned grease drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comstock-Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51275913527581,"sku":"3848TG","price":11550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/55585_3848TG_42d95b3a-e66b-49c8-80dd-ba45d3d31772.png?v=1779649916","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/comstock-castle-3848tg-48-in-countertop-gas-thermostatic-griddle","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
