Star Mfg 2F-Y8830 Char Broiler Top Grate Cast Iron 20-1/2" X 5-7/8" 6 Cross Bars 7 Ribs

A high-heat cooking surface component used in commercial broiler equipment, this cast iron grate is designed to distribute thermal energy evenly across the cooking chamber. Measuring 20-1/2" x 5-7/8" with 6 cross bars and 7 ribs, it positions inside compatible broiler units to provide a stable surface for direct flame or radiant heat cooking. The cast iron construction retains heat effectively during continuous operation, supporting consistent cooking performance across heavy-duty kitchen workloads. Inside commercial kitchens, uneven or worn grates can lead to inconsistent searing, hot spots, and irregular cooking results. Replacing the component restores proper heat transfer across the broiler surface, allowing food to cook more uniformly during high-demand service periods. It is commonly installed in broiler setups used for grilling, searing, and high-output cooking tasks where steady heat contact is required.
