Vortex - 12" 2-Burner Gas Hot Plate - VRX-212-HP

Expand burner capacity in a compact countertop format with the Vortex VRX-212-HP 12" Gas Hot Plate, a commercial gas hot plate intended for kitchens that need flexible open-burner cooking without adding a full range. It is suited for sautéing, boiling, simmering, sauce work, backup cooking, concession use, and stations where pots and pans need direct gas heat in a smaller footprint. The available web-backed hot-plate references support a heavy-duty construction approach with stainless front and sides, cast iron burners, individual burner controls, a removable drip tray, adjustable legs, and a rear gas inlet for commercial installation planning. Key specifications such as a 12-inch width, 30-inch depth, 13.5-inch height, 2 burner configuration, and 50,000 BTU/hr total input make it easier to match the unit to countertop space, menu volume, ventilation, and gas capacity. Whether it is used as supplemental range space or a dedicated station for high-output cooking, this model is positioned as a practical solution for operators who need straightforward heat control and service-friendly construction.
