Star 5124CF 24" Electric Countertop Charbroiler w/ Removable Cast Iron Grids and Water Pan 208v - 8H-5124CF-208V
The Star 5124CF Star-Max® 24" Charbroiler is a versatile cooking solution designed to meet the demands of your commercial kitchen. Operating on 208v/1-3ph power, this charbroiler utilizes a combination of heat transfer methods to provide even and efficient cooking across its surface.
By employing both radiation from the heating elements and conduction through the cast iron grates, this charbroiler ensures consistent and uniform heat distribution, making it ideal for high-volume cooking needs.
The incoloy-sheathed heating elements are robust and efficient, allowing the unit to handle a busy kitchen's requirements with ease. Each 12-inch section of the cooking surface is independently heated and controlled, thanks to the heavy-duty infinite knobs. This level of control enables you to fine-tune your cooking processes for various menu items.
The cast iron grates are not only strong and durable but also excellent conductors of heat, ensuring your food is cooked to perfection. They can be easily removed for convenient and thorough cleanup after service.
To maintain a clean and safe kitchen environment, the charbroiler features tapered splash guards that contain grease and food particles. Additionally, the bull-nose front design enhances safety by separating the operator from the hot grates, reducing the risk of burns.
