The Vulcan VTEC25 electric charbroiler delivers authentic charbroiled flavor in a compact countertop format. With a 25-inch broiling surface and stainless steel exterior construction, this light-duty unit is designed for cafes, small restaurants, and food service operations where space is at a premium. The electric heating elements provide consistent broil surface temperatures without the need for gas connections, making installation simpler in locations where gas infrastructure is limited or unavailable.
Operating on 4.5 kW at 208V single-phase power, the VTEC25 requires a dedicated electrical circuit and appropriate ventilation for commercial cooking equipment. The 25×22-inch footprint allows the unit to fit on standard countertops, while the 12-inch height provides clearance for typical overhead shelving or ventilation hoods. At 95 pounds, the charbroiler is light enough for two people to position but substantial enough to remain stable during operation. The included grates are designed for easy removal and cleaning between service periods.
This countertop charbroiler is classified for light-duty use, making it appropriate for operations with intermittent charbroiling needs rather than continuous high-volume production. The unit is backed by a 1-year parts warranty. Operators should verify local electrical codes and ventilation requirements before installation, as commercial charbroilers typically require Type I hood systems regardless of fuel type. The compact design allows kitchen staff to add charbroiling capability without committing valuable floor space to larger equipment.
