The Imperial IRB-36 is a 36-inch thermostatically controlled griddle designed for consistent, high-performance cooking in demanding kitchen environments. The IRB-36 features individual thermostat controls, allowing you to dial in exact temperatures across different zones of the griddle surface. This gives you better control over cooking delicate items like eggs or pancakes while searing meats or vegetables on another section—all at the same time.

Simple manual controls and a straightforward layout make this unit easy for any staff member to use, regardless of experience level. Minimal training required means more efficiency on the line.
