Solid plate burners heat faster and clean far more easily than open coil elements — the Vollrath 40739 puts two of them in a front-to-back layout that trims the unit to a narrow 15"W footprint, fitting into counter spaces where a side-by-side two-burner design wouldn't work.
At 3,000–4,000W on 208–240V, it delivers the heat output needed for commercial cooking — sautéing, rapid boiling, and sauce work — without a gas connection. Stainless steel construction, rear safety skirt, and adjustable heavy-duty legs round out a unit designed for practical daily use. 3-ft. cord with NEMA 6-30P. 14.4–16.7 amps. ETL, NSF, CETL.


The Vollrath 40739 electric hot plate provides two solid plate burners on a 208–240V circuit for commercial kitchens that need electric cooking capability in a countertop format — without gas line access, or in locations where gas installation isn't practical. Solid plate burners are the correct specification for commercial electric cooking: they heat faster than open coil elements, maintain more even temperature distribution across the cooking surface, and clean far more easily since there are no coil gaps or exposed element surfaces where food and grease accumulate.
The front-to-back burner orientation places both cooking positions along the depth of the unit rather than side by side, creating a narrow 15"W footprint that fits in counter spaces where a side-by-side two-burner configuration wouldn't. For kitchens where counter width is the limiting dimension, this narrow format is the practical choice for adding two independent cooking positions to a tight counter layout.
At 3,000–4,000W per burner on 208–240V, the unit provides the heat output to reach and maintain commercial cooking temperatures for sautéing, sauce production, and rapid boiling. Electric heating at this wattage recovers temperature quickly after cold food is added to the pan, maintaining production pace through continuous cooking operations. The stainless steel construction handles the heat, grease, and cleaning chemical exposure of commercial kitchen use. The rear safety skirt provides a barrier that keeps falling objects away from the rear elements and electrical connections. Adjustable heavy-duty legs level the unit on uneven counter surfaces. 3-ft. cord with NEMA 6-30P. ETL, NSF, CETL.
