Countertop Gas Thermostatic Flat\/Grooved Combo Griddle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Comstock-Castle HG36T-1-FG is a 36-inch heavy-duty countertop thermostatic flat\/grooved combo griddle, built for high-output breakfast houses, hotel kitchens, and busy short-order lines that need a 36-inch thermostatic flat\/grooved combo griddle working steady through service without dropping plate temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a real kitchen, the 60,000 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. Half the plate is flat for eggs and pancakes; the other half is grooved for marking burgers and chops. Both sides run on independent thermostats so you can hold each side at its own temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the right call for high-output breakfast houses, hotel kitchens, and busy short-order lines where the 36-inch footprint matches the bench space you have. If you need full-line capacity, the 48-inch or wider siblings carry more concurrent product. If you only need a single-station unit for a breakfast counter, a 12 or 18-inch sibling fits a tighter footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e36-Inch Flat\/Grooved Combo Polished Steel Plate at 3\/4-Inch Thickness\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cooking surface is 36 inches wide by 21 inches deep, with a 3\/4-inch-thick flat\/grooved combo polished steel plate that holds heat through wave after wave of cold product without cratering the surface temperature. Half the plate is flat for eggs, pancakes, hash browns, and sandwich production; the other half is grooved for marking burgers, chops, and chicken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e3 Thermostatically-Controlled Heat Zones at 20,000 BTU Each\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe griddle is divided into 3 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 HG36T-1-FG 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":51275972641053,"sku":"HG36T-1-FG","price":3740.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/56364_HG36T-1-FG_81090684-85a9-4656-844a-f42b63b9a156.webp?v=1779651681","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/comstock-castle-hg36t-1-fg-36-in-countertop-gas-thermostatic-flat-grooved-combo-griddle","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
