Atosa USA ATMG-48 Heavy Duty Stainless Steel 48-Inch Manual Griddle - Natural Gas
Professional-Grade 48 inch Natural Gas Griddle for High-Volume Cooking
The CookRite Heavy Duty Griddle represents the pinnacle of commercial cooking equipment, engineered specifically for restaurants, catering operations, and food service establishments that demand reliability and consistent performance. This 48-inch countertop griddle combines robust construction with intuitive controls, making it an essential addition to any professional kitchen.
Exceptional Cooking Surface and Heat Distribution
At the heart of this griddle lies a substantial 3/4-inch thick griddle plate that spans 47-9/10 inches wide by 19-9/10 inches deep, providing an expansive cooking area for simultaneous preparation of multiple items. The thick plate ensures even heat distribution across the entire surface, eliminating hot spots that can compromise food quality. This superior thermal mass allows the griddle to maintain consistent temperatures even during peak service periods, a critical advantage when preparing breakfast items, proteins, vegetables, and other griddle-friendly foods.
Powerful and Efficient Heating System
Four stainless steel burners deliver a combined 120,000 BTU's of heating power, providing the thermal capacity necessary for high-volume operations. Each burner operates independently with manual controls, allowing operators to customize heat zones for different cooking tasks. The standby pilot system ensures reliable ignition while maintaining energy efficiency, reducing fuel consumption during idle periods without sacrificing performance when needed.
Durable Construction Built to Last
The entire structure is fabricated from premium stainless steel, a material choice that reflects the equipment's commercial-grade design. Stainless steel resists corrosion, withstands frequent cleaning, and maintains its appearance through years of intensive use. The adjustable stainless steel legs accommodate uneven floors and allow for easy cleaning underneath the unit, a practical feature that simplifies kitchen maintenance and sanitation protocols.
Compact Footprint with Maximum Capacity
Measuring 48 inches wide by 28-3/5 inches deep and standing 15-1/5 inches high, this griddle fits efficiently into most commercial kitchen layouts without consuming excessive counter space. Despite its compact dimensions, the cooking surface delivers substantial capacity, making it ideal for establishments with space constraints that still require high-output cooking capabilities.
Safety and Compliance Standards
This griddle meets rigorous industry safety standards, carrying both cETLus and ETL-Sanitation certifications. These certifications confirm that the equipment has undergone comprehensive testing for electrical safety, gas safety, and sanitation requirements. The independent manual controls provide operators with precise command over cooking temperatures, while the robust construction ensures consistent performance and longevity.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
- Breakfast service operations requiring simultaneous cooking of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and hash browns
- Lunch and dinner service for sautéing vegetables, searing proteins, and preparing grilled items
- Catering operations needing portable yet powerful cooking equipment

- Hotels, resorts, and institutional food service facilities with high-volume demands
- Steakhouses and upscale restaurants requiring precision temperature control
Operational Advantages
The independent burner controls enable operators to create multiple temperature zones simultaneously, maximizing efficiency during service. The thick griddle plate acts as a thermal buffer, maintaining consistent cooking temperatures even when adding cold ingredients. The stainless steel construction simplifies end-of-shift cleaning and sanitization, critical factors in maintaining health department compliance and food safety standards.
Investment in Kitchen Excellence
Choosing the CookRite Heavy Duty Griddle represents an investment in kitchen reliability and operational efficiency. The commercial-grade construction, powerful heating system, and intuitive controls combine to deliver consistent results shift after shift. Whether you're operating a busy breakfast establishment, a full-service restaurant, or a catering operation, this griddle provides the performance and durability required for professional food service environments. The 120,000 BTU capacity ensures rapid heat recovery between cooking cycles, while the expansive cooking surface accommodates diverse menu items without requiring multiple pieces of equipment. This consolidation of cooking capability reduces equipment footprint while expanding operational flexibility, a combination that translates directly to improved profitability and customer satisfaction.
Atosa USA ATMG-48 Heavy Duty Stainless Steel 48-Inch Manual Griddle - Natural Gas FAQ
Heat recovery time is one of the most important things to consider when you shop for a griddle. This becomes critical if your using foods straight from commercial freezer instead of the commercial refrigerator. McDonald's discovered how important heat recovery time is when started moving from frozen meat for the Quarter Pounder. Why? Well the colder the food is when placed on the griddle, the lower the surface temperature drops. According to the American Gas Association it takes twice the energy output for frozen food compared to chilled food.
Buying a Griddle
There are different types of cooking services for griddles. The Atosa griddle heats quickly because it uses stainless steel compared to Aluminum. The Aluminum heats quickly, but looses heat fast.
