The Southbend HDG-72-M 72" Gas Griddle is a workhorse built for high-performance commercial kitchens. Its 1" steel griddle plate resists warping and bending, even under constant heating and cooling, ensuring consistent cooking results for years. The U-shaped burners, spaced every 12 inches, distribute heat evenly, while the manual controls provide precise temperature adjustment—ideal for medium-duty applications where reliability and consistency are non-negotiable. The stainless steel front, sides, and vent are heavy-duty and corrosion-resistant, while the aluminized steel rear and bottom panels retain heat and resist color fading. Double-insulated sides maintain structural integrity, preventing sagging over time. This LP-powered griddle is perfect for busy kitchens that require durability, high heat output (20,000 BTU per burner), and easy maintenance with a removable grease drawer and 5" rear splash guard. Whether you're serving breakfast, brunch, or all-day griddle specials, the Southbend HDG-72-M delivers the performance and longevity that commercial kitchens demand.
