24" x 47-3/4" cooking surface • Solid-state controls • 22.8 kWEngineered for the busiest kitchens, the MagiKitch’n MKE48 delivers precise electric griddling performance in a compact countertop footprint. A full 1-inch thick polished steel plate retains heat for rapid recovery, while embedded solid-state thermostats maintain set temps from 150 °F to 550 °F with unmatched accuracy. From breakfast rush to late-night service, this heavy-duty workhorse keeps the orders flowing and the cleanup painless.

- 1" (2.5 cm) polished steel plate – exceptional heat retention and even browning.
- Solid-state embedded probes – lightning-fast response keeps surface temperatures true to set point.
- Front-mounted 3-1/2" grease trough & 3.75 gal box – fewer drips, faster cleanup, and less downtime.
- Stainless-steel construction with double-walled sides and 3" side splashes – built to handle years of commercial abuse.
- Flush-mount ready – 4" removable legs let you drop the unit into a custom counter cut-out.
- Easy serviceability – removable back panel and no exposed fasteners simplify maintenance.
- Certified safe & sanitary – ETL-Sanitation, cETLus, and CE listed.
Performance You Can Taste
Incoloy-sheathed elements are pressure-clamped directly to the underside of the plate, moving heat efficiently into the cooking surface for a perfect sear on steaks, burgers, quesadillas, pancakes, fried rice, or anything else you can dream up. With a spacious 24" deep cooking zone, the MKE48 easily replaces two smaller griddles, freeing up valuable line space.
Designed for Everyday Ease
- Extra-smooth 12-gauge splash skirt wipes clean in seconds.
- Large quick-lift grease box keeps hot grease safely contained away from your staff.
- No-tools daily access to critical components minimizes downtime and labor costs.
