Imperial, ITG-60, Griddle, Gas, Countertop Thermostatic Controls

Imperial ITG-60 Gas Countertop Griddle. This 60-inch-wide, gas-fired flat-top is used as the primary surface for high-volume breakfast and lunch prep, handling items from eggs and bacon to pancakes, hash browns, grilled cheese, burgers, and sautéed vegetables. In a typical shift, cooks move from prep to service on a single, continuous deck: eggs and French toast or dosa on one side, pancakes or paratha in the center, and burgers or chicken sandwiches along the other edge. The 60" W x 24" D cooking surface, paired with a 1" thick polished steel plate, delivers steady heat retention and even browning. Thermostatic controls keep constant temperatures for delicate items while enabling searing, and the 4" wide front grease trough with a removable grease can simplifies cleanup at the end of service. The unit’s stainless steel front, sides, splash guards, and ledge are built for daily use in a busy kitchen, with a weight around 725 lb and a height of roughly 14 inches. Total heat output is 150,000 BTU, and the model is designed for natural gas operation (with LP alternatives often available from distributors).

 

Why kitchens choose this type: a wide flat-top griddle provides a dedicated, consistent cooking surface that can replace multiple smaller griddles, stock pots, or pan-frying needs during peak periods. It directly addresses workflow bottlenecks by consolidating high-volume flat-surface tasks (eggs, pancakes, toast, and thin-sliced proteins) onto one deck, reducing burner congestion and the need to shuttle items between pots and pans. In peak service—think Friday dinner rush or Saturday brunch—a single ITG-60 can produce breakfast orders (eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes) while the rest of the line handles burgers and sautéed mains on other equipment. Compared to a stock pot setup or a cluster of smaller griddles, the ITG-60 offers more continuous surface area and a simpler cleanup process.

 

Performance and Capacity: the 150,000 BTU total heat output translates to fast heat-up and rapid recovery between batches, so the deck remains at target temperatures through service. The 60" by 24" cooking surface equates to about 10 square feet of usable cooking area, enabling parallel preparation of several items at once. The 1" thick plate provides even heating and stable browning across the entire deck, while thermostatic controls maintain consistent temperatures during busy periods. This combination makes it suitable for mid- to high-volume operations that rely on quick, repeatable results across a variety of flat-top dishes.

 

Ownership and Daily Operation: cleaning and grease management are straightforward thanks to the four-inch-wide grease trough and removable one-gallon grease can, coupled with a durable stainless steel exterior. The heavy-duty construction and welded seams resist daily wear, and the thermostatic controls provide safer, more predictable operation by preventing overheating. Staff can work efficiently with a single, reliable flat-top station that supports batch cooking without frequent transfers to and from other pieces of equipment, reducing labor and the risk of overcooked items. This design supports long, reliable daily operation and easier cleaning when the shift ends.
