Southbend Platinum Series 36" Heavy-Duty Gas Range with Plancha Griddle & Cabinet Base

Model P36C-PPP | 48,000 BTU | CSA & NSF Listed

Purpose-built for demanding, high-volume operations, the Platinum P36C-PPP combines rapid-response plancha grilling with rugged, all-stainless construction and a convenient cabinet base. Three 16,000 BTU cast-iron burners heat a ½" thick reinforced steel plate that sears up to 800 °F on the front two-thirds and gently finishes on the rear third—perfect for steaks, seafood, vegetables, tortillas and more.

Key Performance Features

  • High-heat zone (to 800 °F) on front ⅔ of plate; lower finishing zone on rear ⅓
  • 3" wide side troughs & extra-capacity stainless grease drawer for quick turnarounds
  • Manual controls with reliable battery spark ignition—no standing pilot needed
  • Side & rear splashers plus a 5" deep front rail keep work areas clean & safe
  • 1¼" front gas manifold couples easily into a sectional battery; 1" rear NPT connection
  • Fully welded stainless cabinet base with center-opening removable doors stores pans & utensils
  • 6" adjustable stainless legs level the unit on uneven floors
  • All-stainless front, sides, rear & exterior bottom stand up to daily abuse and harsh cleaning
