Collection: Commercial Griddle

What’s the difference between a thermostatic and manual griddle?

Thermostatic griddles (M16TG through M60TG, plus MCCTG24A, MCCTG36A and MCCTG48A) have an embedded temperature probe that holds a set temperature; the MCCTG24A, for example, adjusts from 150°F to 450°F in 5° increments. Manual griddles (the MG models) use direct flame control, which cooks who prefer to adjust heat by feel may like. Thermostatic is great for consistency across shifts.

Which griddle size do I need?

Sizes run 16 in. to 60 in. wide. Cooking surfaces range from about 310 sq. in. on the 16 in. models to 1,164 sq. in. on the M60TG and M48TG. For a café or concession stand, a 16 in. or 24 in. may do; busy breakfast and burger lines often choose 36 in. to 60 in. Check each product page for the exact cooking area.

What’s the difference between the M-series and MCC-series griddles?

MCC-series griddles (MCCTG and MCCMG) have a 24 in. deep cooking area and U-shaped burners every 12 in., for example 1,140 sq. in. on the 48 in. models and 856.8 sq. in. on the 36 in. models. M-series manual models such as the M48MG are 19.3 in. deep and include 4 in. legs and an LP conversion kit. Compare depth and included accessories on each product page.

Can these griddles run on propane?

Many M-series griddles, including the M16TG, M24TG, M36TG, M48TG, M60TG and the M-series manual models, list an LP conversion kit in the box so you can convert from natural gas to propane. For MCC-series models, check the product page for conversion details. Always have a qualified technician perform gas conversions.

How do I clean and manage grease on a commercial griddle?

Scrape the plate during and after service to push grease and debris to the collection area. M-series manual models include a grease trap, and MCC-series models include a drip tray, which should be emptied and washed regularly. Stainless steel splashes help keep the surrounding area clean. Follow the manual for seasoning and daily cleaning.
