The Omcan 44198 Gas Hotplate
The Omcan CE-CN-0212-S is a countertop step-up gas hot plate, a compact 12-inch wide countertop unit with 2 individually controlled burners producing 60,000 BTU total over a 12" x 24" cooking area. The narrow footprint makes it useful as a secondary cooking station in kitchens that need an extra pair of burners for sauces, soups, or side dishes without dedicating a full range. Food trucks, catering setups, and small restaurant kitchens will find it practical for expanding cooking capacity on demand.
Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Grates with Step-Up Design
The step-up design raises the burner surface above standard countertop height, which gives you better clearance for tall stockpots and makes it easier to monitor and stir contents without hunching over the cookware. Heavy-duty cast iron grilling grates sit over each burner and provide a stable, level platform that handles heavy pots without rocking or sliding. Cast iron holds heat well and distributes it across the bottom of your cookware more evenly than stamped steel grates, which improves cooking consistency. Each of the 2 burners is manually controlled with independent valves so you can run different temperatures on each burner simultaneously.
Stainless Steel Construction with Natural Gas and LP Conversion
The stainless steel body and control panel are built for commercial kitchen environments where grease, steam, and daily scrubbing are routine. A removable crumb tray under the burners catches spills and food debris for quick cleanup between shifts. The unit ships configured for natural gas with a 3/4" rear gas connection, and a conversion kit is included in the box for switching to LP if your site requires it. Adjustable legs let you level the hot plate on any countertop surface.
