The Turbo Air Radiance 36" thermostatic gas countertop griddle upgrades the manual griddle platform with thermostatically controlled zones — each of the 3 aluminized U-shaped burners (22,000 BTU/hr per 12") has an independent thermostat that maintains the set surface temperature through production loads. The griddle plate is 1" thick highly polished steel, providing enhanced thermal mass over the 3/4" manual model for more consistent temperature through heavy load periods. 3" front grease trough, removable grease pan, 4" backsplash with tapered side splashes.
High efficiency griddle. Adjustable standing pilots. 3/4" rear gas connection, regulator included, 2" stainless steel legs. CSA, CSA-Sanitation.
The Turbo Air Radiance 36" thermostatic gas griddle advances the Radiance griddle platform with two significant upgrades over the manual model: thermostatic zone control and a 1" thick griddle plate. Together these specifications deliver the highest level of cooking consistency available in the Radiance countertop griddle line.
Thermostatic control per zone removes the cook's ongoing temperature management task from the production workflow. A manual griddle requires continuous monitoring and valve adjustment to maintain consistent surface temperature as product loads vary — a task that competes with the actual cooking quality management that a skilled cook should be focused on. The thermostat handles this maintenance automatically, adjusting the burner output to maintain the set surface temperature regardless of what product load is on the griddle at any moment. The result is consistent cooking times and consistent finished product quality from the first item of the shift to the last.
The 1" thick griddle plate provides 33% more thermal mass than the 3/4" manual model. In thermostatic griddle applications where the thermostat is managing surface temperature, the plate's thermal mass determines how well it absorbs cold-load shock — the temperature drop that occurs when cold or frozen product is placed on the hot surface. More mass means smaller temperature drops, faster recovery to setpoint, and more consistent cooking temperatures through continuous production loads.
Aluminized U-shaped burners at 22,000 BTU/hr per 12" provide the heat output that the 1" plate requires to reach and maintain commercial cooking temperatures efficiently. The U-shape geometry distributes heat evenly across each zone, ensuring the thermostat sensor in each zone receives an accurate temperature reading that reflects the full zone surface rather than a localized hot spot.
All other Radiance griddle features carry through: 3" front grease trough, removable grease pan, built-in splash guard, 4" backsplash, high-resistance PPS knobs, adjustable pilots. 3/4" rear gas connection, included regulator. 2" stainless steel legs. CSA and CSA-Sanitation certified.
