Omcan CE-CN-HP212M 12 In. Countertop Gas Hot Plate, 2 Burners, 44,000 BTU, Cast Iron Grates

The Omcan 43733 Gas Hotplate

The Omcan CE-CN-HP212M is a countertop gas hot plate, a compact 12-inch wide countertop unit with 2 individually controlled burners producing 44,000 BTU total over a 12" x 24" cooking surface. At just a foot wide, it tucks into tight spaces on prep lines, catering setups, and food truck counters where you need extra burner capacity without giving up workspace. Two burners handle a pair of stockpots, sauce pans, or saute pans simultaneously.

Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Grates with Stainless Steel Burners

Heavy-duty cast iron grilling grates provide a sturdy, level cooking surface that supports heavy stockpots and Dutch ovens without flexing or wobbling. Cast iron retains heat better than stamped steel, which helps maintain even temperatures across the base of your cookware. Underneath the grates, stainless steel burners deliver consistent flame distribution and resist corrosion from boil-overs and grease. Each burner has its own manual valve and large, robust dial control that is easy to grip and adjust during busy service, giving you independent temperature control across all 2 cooking zones.

Removable Waste Tray and Adjustable Feet

A full-width removable waste tray sits below the burners and catches spills, crumbs, and boil-overs so cleanup between shifts takes minutes instead of requiring disassembly. The stainless steel construction and finish hold up to the daily scrubbing and chemical sanitizers used in commercial kitchens. Heavy-duty adjustable feet keep the unit level and stable on any counter surface, even if the surface is not perfectly flat. The unit ships configured for natural gas with a 3/4" rear gas connection, and a propane conversion kit (item 42961) is included so you can switch fuel types on site.

    The Omcan 43733 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.
