Description
Southbend Platinum 48" Gas Plancha Range with Cabinet Base
Model P48C-PPPP | 64,000 BTUHarness searing power and built-in storage in one heavy-duty footprint. Southbend’s Platinum Series 48" plancha range delivers blistering heat up front for a perfect Maillard crust while the rear zone stays slightly cooler for finishing, plating, or holding.
A ½" thick, raised steel plate is fired by four 16,000 BTU cast-iron burners with reliable battery spark ignition—no electrical hook-up required. Stainless steel construction, a removable grease drawer, and twin under-counter cabinets make this unit a workhorse on the line and a breeze during cleanup.
