Omcan CE-CN-HP12-M 12 In. Countertop Gas Hot Plate, 2 Burners, 50,000 BTU, Open Burner Design

SKU47379 BrandOmcan

The Omcan 47379 Gas Hotplate

The Omcan CE-CN-HP12-M is a countertop gas hot plate with an open burner design, a compact 12-inch wide countertop unit with 2 octagonal open burners producing 50,000 BTU total over a 12" x 23.86" cooking area. At just a foot wide, it serves as a secondary cooking station for small restaurants, food trucks, and catering setups where you need extra burner capacity without dedicating much counter space.

Octagonal Open Burners with 12" x 12" Iron Grates and Standing Pilot

The octagonal open burner design delivers direct flame contact for fast, responsive heat that reacts immediately when you turn the dial up or down. Each burner has a standing pilot light for reliable ignition without batteries or electronic components, and the 12" x 12" iron grates provide a stable, level cooking surface for heavy pots and pans. Manual controls with large, robust dials give you independent temperature control over each burner. Pre-heat time is just 3 minutes, which means the hot plate is ready for service almost instantly.

Low-Profile Stainless Steel Construction with Front Crumb Trays

Unlike the step-up models, this hot plate sits at standard countertop height at just 13 inches tall, which works better in kitchens where you need the cooking surface at the same level as the rest of your prep line. The front stainless steel edge and cabinet are built for daily commercial use, and full-width front crumb trays slide out for fast cleanup between shifts. Adjustable stainless steel non-skid feet keep the unit stable and level. The unit ships configured for natural gas with a 3/4" rear gas connection, and a conversion kit is included for LP conversion on site.

    The Omcan 47379 Gas Hotplate

    About Commercial Gas Hotplates

    Commercial gas hotplates are built for kitchens that need flexible, high-output cooking but don't have room for a full range. They're made for restaurants, caterers, food trucks, and any setup where counter space and cooking power are both important. If you need an extra burner, a dedicated cooktop for sauces and soups, or a compact unit for a satellite kitchen, start here.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Single burner hotplates: Compact and portable. Best for small kitchens or as an extra burner station.
    • Double burner hotplates: The most common setup. Fits on most prep counters and handles two pots at once.
    • Commercial gas cooktop with griddle: Open burners plus a flat griddle surface for more versatility.
    • 6 burner cooktops: High output units for busy kitchens that need lots of stovetop space but not a full range.
    • Propane hotplates: Good for outdoor catering, food trucks, or anywhere you don't have a natural gas line.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • BTU output: Most commercial hotplates run 15,000 to 30,000 BTU per burner. Higher BTU means faster heat and better recovery.
    • Gas type: Most units use natural gas. If you need propane, check that an LP conversion kit is available before you order.
    • Size and counter space: Measure your counter space before you buy. Hotplates range from single burner units to large 6 burner cooktops.
    • Grate design: Heavy cast iron grates last longer and support bigger pots.
    • Installation: Even countertop units need proper gas line connections and ventilation. Use a licensed installer for the hookup.
    • Oven or base: Some models sit on an open base or cabinet. Think about your storage needs before you choose.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a commercial gas hotplate and a range?

    A hotplate is a countertop unit with burners only. A range has an oven below the burners. Hotplates are a good pick if you need more burner space but don't want a full range, or if your kitchen already has wall ovens or deck ovens for baking and roasting.

    How many burners do I need for my kitchen?

    It depends on your menu and how much you cook. A single or double burner hotplate works well as a backup station. If you're replacing a range or setting up your main cook line, a 4 or 6 burner unit will handle most jobs. Think about your busiest shift and how many pots you have going at once.

    Can I use a commercial gas hotplate with propane?

    Most commercial gas hotplates come ready for natural gas but can be converted to propane with an LP kit. Propane models are common in catering and food trucks where you don't have a natural gas line.
