Vortex - 48" Manual Gas Griddle - VRX-48-MG

Equip a straightforward manual-control flat-top station with the Vortex VRX-48-MG 48" Manual Gas Griddle, a commercial countertop gas griddle made for operators who want durable steel-plate performance and simple hands-on control. It is designed for back-of-house kitchens, breakfast service, burger production, proteins, onions, hash browns, and menus where aggressive searing and reliable heat retention are more important than decorative presentation. Vortex’s manual griddle platform combines a fully welded chassis, 14-gauge 304 stainless steel front and sides, a 1-inch steel griddle plate, and high-output burners spaced across the cooking surface to help support demanding service periods. Key specifications such as a 48 in x 24 in cooking area, 4 burner configuration, 104,000 BTU/hr total input, 200°F to 550°F manual control range, and 120V single-phase electrical requirements make it easier to plan the cookline around gas input, ventilation, and production capacity. Whether it is used for heavy scraping, repeated batches, or varied cooking techniques, this model is built as a practical workhorse for commercial kitchens.
