The Omcan 44200 Gas Hotplate
The Omcan CE-CN-0636-S is a countertop step-up gas hot plate, the largest in the series at 36 inches wide, with 6 individually controlled burners producing 180,000 BTU total over a 36" x 24" cooking area. Six burners across a three-foot span give you enough room to run a full soup station, simmer multiple sauces, and boil pasta all at once. This configuration suits busy commercial kitchens, hotel banquet operations, and large catering setups that need high-output burner capacity without installing a permanent range.
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 6 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.
