Cookrite Countertop Hotplate 1200mm

Simply Hospitality notes
This 1200mm hotplate is best suited to venues needing a primary flat cooking station for breakfast service, burgers, sandwiches, proteins, vegetables or general à la carte cooking. It is a useful option when you want a simple LPG flat-plate cooking surface without stepping into a higher-cost premium range.
The countertop format works well where you already have a suitable stainless bench or equipment stand. Allow for suitable gas installation, ventilation and safe clearances around the appliance. For best results, match the width to the surrounding equipment so the cookline is easy to work and clean.
We would usually suggest this style of hotplate for cafés, takeaways, bars, clubs, food trucks and smaller restaurants where reliable day-to-day output matters more than advanced controls. The 2+2 Year Warranty also makes it a strong value choice for operators wanting peace of mind.

Product guide
Cookrite hotplates are designed for flat-surface gas cooking. They are commonly used for eggs, bacon, smash burgers, sandwiches, proteins, vegetables and high-turnover café or takeaway items.
Choose 300mm or 400mm models for small menus, side stations or food trucks; 600mm for a flexible mid-size cooking surface; and 900mm or 1200mm when the hotplate is a major part of the production line.
Freestanding hotplates are better when you want an integrated cooking line, while countertop hotplates suit kitchens with existing benching or where equipment may be reconfigured.
When comparing this model with an open burner cooktop, choose the hotplate if most of your cooking is direct-contact grilling. Choose open burners if you mostly use pots, pans and stockpots.
Allow for LPG installation, commercial extraction and a cleaning routine that suits flat-plate cooking. Correct seasoning, scraping and daily cleaning will help maintain cooking performance.
