Who it suits

A solid all-round specification for restaurants running a mixed grill menu, with an even split between smooth and ribbed for kitchens that cook both in similar proportion. If your menu is weighted heavily to one style, a plate split two-thirds to one-third uses the surface better than an even half-and-half.

Common questions

How hot does the surface get?
Over 300°C at maximum, which is more than enough for searing. Most griddle work sits between 175°C and 230°C.

Is half-and-half the right split?
It suits a balanced menu. Kitchens cooking mostly eggs and pancakes want more smooth area; steakhouses want more ribbed.

What does the BTU figure mean?
68,243 BTU is the same 20 kW expressed in the imperial unit used in some gas specifications. They are two ways of stating the same heat input.

Does it need a ventilation canopy?
A 20 kW gas appliance requires extraction over it. Confirm canopy and make-up air against local requirements.
