Know before you buy
This model features two independently controlled burners. This allows you to create different temperature zones on the 470-square-inch surface, so you can sear a steak on one side while keeping vegetables warm on the other.
Yes, the cold-rolled steel surface needs to be seasoned before its first use and cleaned after every cook. You should apply a thin layer of oil after cleaning to prevent rust and maintain a non-stick cooking surface.
The unit is equipped with commercial-grade caster wheels for easy mobility across flat surfaces. Additionally, the legs are foldable, which makes it much easier to store in a garage or shed when not in use.
This griddle uses a front-facing grease management system. It is designed to channel food debris and excess oil into a collection area at the front of the unit, making it simple to scrape clean and empty after you finish cooking.
This griddle is designed to run on standard liquid propane. It features a matchless electrical ignition system, so you can light the burners quickly and safely without needing a lighter or matches.
With 470 square inches of cooking space, this griddle is well-suited for cooking for a small family or a group of friends. It provides enough room to cook multiple items simultaneously, such as pancakes and bacon or a large batch of stir-fry.
