The Vollrath 36" heavy-duty gas griddle with thermostatic controls adds precise, repeatable temperature maintenance to the 36" heavy-duty griddle platform — thermostatic controls maintain the setpoint through production loads rather than requiring manual adjustment as surface temperature cycles. Metal knobs that won't break or crack. 1" thick polished cooking surface, U-shaped burners, 90,000 BTU, thick back and sloped sides.
Stainless steel construction. ETL, ETL Sanitation, CETL.
The Vollrath 36" heavy-duty thermostatic griddle takes the same 1" polished cooking surface and 90,000 BTU U-shaped burner platform as the manual-control 36" model and adds thermostatic temperature control — the difference between a cook actively managing gas valve position to maintain temperature and a control system that maintains the temperature automatically.
Thermostatic control is the operational upgrade that matters for consistent production quality. A manual-control griddle's surface temperature varies with burner input and product load — an experienced cook learns to compensate through constant monitoring and valve adjustment, but this compensation demands continuous attention that competes with other cooking tasks. Thermostatic controls take temperature maintenance out of the cook's active task load: set the target temperature, and the control system maintains it through the full range of production loads, surface recovery cycles, and ambient condition changes.
The practical benefit is consistency. A griddle maintaining the same surface temperature throughout service produces the same cooking times and the same finished product quality from the first item of the morning to the last item of the service period. A manually controlled griddle that's run higher or lower than the intended temperature through human variability produces inconsistent results that affect product quality in ways that are difficult to diagnose without instrumentation.
Metal control knobs — the practical durability detail that distinguishes commercial-grade knobs from the plastic alternatives that crack under thermal cycling and physical treatment. A control knob that breaks during service is a significant operational disruption; metal knobs eliminate this failure mode.
All other specifications match the manual-control 36" model: 1" polished surface, U-shaped burners, thick back and sloped sides, stainless steel construction. ETL, ETL Sanitation, CETL. 1-year standard warranty.
