Omcan CE-CN-G24M 24 In. Countertop Gas Griddle, Manual Control, 2 Burners, 60,000 BTU

SKU43730 BrandOmcan

The Omcan 43730 Gas Griddle

The Omcan CE-CN-G24M is a 24-inch countertop gas griddle with 2 independently controlled stainless steel burners producing a total of 60,000 BTU/hr. Two burners let you run different temperature zones on the same griddle surface, so you can sear burgers on one side at high heat while cooking eggs on the other side at a lower setting. The 24" x 20" cooking surface covers the needs of most mid-volume breakfast diners, burger shops, and short-order kitchens.

3/4-Inch Thick Polished Steel Griddle Plate

The cooking surface is 3/4" thick polished steel, which is significantly thicker than the stamped plates found on residential or light-duty griddles. Thick steel stores more heat energy and recovers temperature faster when cold food hits the surface, so you get consistent searing and browning from the first order to the last. The polished finish on the plate creates a smoother cooking surface that develops a natural seasoning over time, improving nonstick performance without chemical coatings. Back and side splash guards are fully welded to the griddle plate, preventing grease from dripping behind the unit or onto adjacent equipment. A removable full-width waste tray with a weep hole collects grease runoff and makes end-of-day cleaning straightforward.

Manual Control with 2 Independent Cooking Zones and LP Conversion Kit

Each burner has its own manual valve with a large, robust dial control that is easy to adjust even with greasy hands. Manual valves with standing pilot ignition mean the burners light reliably every time without electronic igniters that can fail in a greasy kitchen environment. The griddle ships configured for natural gas with a 3/4-inch rear gas connection, and a propane (LP) conversion kit (item 42969) is included in the box so you can run it on either fuel source. Gas conversion must be completed by an approved gas field technician. Stainless steel construction throughout the body and burners provides durability and easy cleaning. Heavy-duty adjustable feet keep the griddle level and stable on any countertop surface.

    The Omcan 43730 Gas Griddle

    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.
