Product description
This Cooking Performance Group GTU-CPG-72-L 72" heavy-duty liquid propane 6-burner countertop griddle features energy saving thermostats that are adjustable from 200 to 575 degrees Fahrenheit. With precise temperature controls, it is an excellent choice for delicate breakfast foods like eggs and hotcakes, as well as your lunch menu of chicken, hamburgers, and other meats!
This Cooking Performance Group countertop griddle is made of stainless steel with a chrome plated griddle/cooktop that is both durable and extremely easy to clean, includes back and side splashes to protect your walls and countertops, and even has a full width waste tray to provide you with a complete package of excellent performance and worry-free maintenance! The chrome plated cooktop has an attractive bright and shiny appearance, making it ideal for front-of-house use. The chrome finish will also reduce flavor transfer and has better heat retention than standard steel plate griddles.
The chrome acts as an insulator and reduces the emission of radiant heat. It emits significantly less radiant heat than comparable non-chrome griddle plates. This decreases overall cooking times at lower temperatures and reduces added ambient heat to the kitchen. Unlike steel griddles, the chrome plate griddle does not absorb food particles. This greatly reduces flavor transfer, so ingredients with potent flavors such as onions and garlic will not carry-over into subsequent meals.
Cleaning the griddle is a cinch. Just simply scrape and scrub the griddle with a cleansing solution or water and then wipe off and polish the surface. On average, chrome griddles take 45% less time to clean than standard steel plate griddles. It boasts six powerful 30,000 BTU stainless steel U-shaped burners with standing pilots for instant ignition that work in perfect harmony with the thermostats to maintain your selected griddle temperature during peak cooking periods. Its flame failure protection system guarantees safety and peace of mind. The 3/4" thick, 72" wide chrome plated cooking surface features an impressive 26 11/16" depth that is sure to deliver all of the workspace needed.
It has a rear gas connection and ships ready to connect to a liquid propane tank.
To ensure long-lasting service life and optimal performance, use only non-metallic utensils to prevent damage to the cooktop.

Chrome Plated Cooktop
This chrome plated cooktop’s superior heat retention ensures a cooler kitchen and saves up to 30% in energy compared to standard stainless steel griddles. The chrome also prevents sticking and flavor transfer, yielding a higher quality product. Unlike standard griddles, chrome plated griddles take 45% less time to clean leading to significant savings in time, labor, and money.
Cooler Environment
Chrome radiates less heat to the air, but still transfers heat to your burgers, steaks, and other products more efficiently than a traditional griddle. This makes for a cooler kitchen, less money spent on air conditioning, and happier staff with less than 10% of heat from a normal griddle circulating through your kitchen.
Easy-to-Clean
On average, chrome griddles take 45% less time to clean than standard steel plate griddles saving you time and money. Not only that, the chrome plate does not absorb food particles. This greatly reduces flavor transfer, so ingredients with potent flavors such as onions and garlic will not carry-over into subsequent meals. However, chrome is a delicate material and requires extra attention in order to retain all of its benefits.

Cleaning Step #1
While the griddle is still hot, scrape all leftover food particles and oils off, making sure not to scratch the chrome top. Do not use a sharp instrument or spatula edge to remove food, but instead use a plastic spatula or razor blade style scraper.
Cleaning Step #2
Use liquid grill cleaner, like Noble Chemical Griddle Kleen (sold separately), for a deep-clean and to keep your griddle looking new and shiny. This cleaner is non-flammable for the best in safety and peace of mind, and effectively destroys grease.
Cleaning Steps #3 and #4
Use circular motions to clean your griddle with a bristled brush (sold separately) to ensure that the chrome is cleaned without scratches. Push the cleaner into the trough and thoroughly wipe down the surface with a clean damp cloth. Rinse with water. Polish if needed.
Even Heating, No Sticking, and No Flavor Transfer
The even heat transfer from the chrome plate means pancakes will brown evenly while delicate foods cooked at lower temperatures, such as eggs, won't brown at all. Burgers cooked at higher temperatures will retain their crispy brown crusts since the chrome surface prevents sticking and makes it easy to flip items while maintaining a clean surface. With this griddle, you will no longer have to worry about delicate foods like fish or sunny-side-up eggs getting stuck on the plate and torn apart! Unlike steel griddles, the chrome plate griddle does not absorb food particles. This greatly reduces flavor transfer, so ingredients with potent flavors such as onions and garlic will not carry over into subsequent meals.

Ensure Maximum Performance
In order to get maximum performance out of your CPG Ultra Series chrome plated griddle, you will need to use non-metallic high heat utensils. It is recommended that metallic utensils are used with extreme caution as they can scratch, nick or damage the surface resulting in poor performance and decreased longevity. Never chop, hack or hit on the griddle surface as this will cause irreparable damage.
