Description

Southbend Platinum Series 18" Gas Plancha Range – Cabinet Base

Model P18C-P | 16,000 BTU | CSA & NSF Certified

Built for high-volume kitchens that demand brutal strength and lightning-fast recovery, the Southbend Platinum P18C-P packs a raised 11 3⁄4" plancha into an 18" heavy-duty range section. A ½" thick steel plate, a single 16,000 BTU cast-iron burner, and all-stainless construction deliver the searing power, durability, and easy cleanup today’s chefs expect from Southbend.

Why You’ll Love It

  • ½" reinforced steel plancha pre-heats fast and shrugs off daily abuse.
  • High-heat zone (front ⅔) reaches up to 800 °F for quick searing; rear ⅓ runs cooler for finishing & holding.
  • Raised plate with 3" side channels keeps grease away from food and speeds wipe-downs between loads.
  • Battery spark ignition – no electrical hook-up required.
  • Manual, single-knob control keeps operation simple and reliable.
  • Grease management made easy with an oversized, removable stainless drawer.
  • Rugged stainless steel cabinet base adds storage and features a reversible door.
  • Side & rear splashers plus a 5" deep front rail protect staff and surrounding equipment.
  • Fully-insulated burner box boosts efficiency and keeps outer surfaces cooler.
  • 6" adjustable stainless legs for perfect leveling under any hood.
