The SCRP-16 pairs a 5-inch wide removable stainless steel blade with a 16-inch cast aluminum handle and an integrated dual-handle configuration, giving the operator focused pressure and extended reach to strip thick carbon deposits from the most heavily used commercial griddle plates. At therestaurantwarehouse.com, the SCRP-16 is stocked for full-service restaurant kitchens, hotel banquet operations, institutional cafeterias, and any high-volume food service environment running a 60-inch or 72-inch floor-model griddle as the primary production station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5-inch blade width defines the SCRP-16's performance advantage. Unlike wider scrapers built to maximize surface coverage per pass, the 5-inch blade concentrates the operator's full applied force into a narrower contact zone, delivering higher pressure-per-inch of blade edge than a 6-inch tool under the same downward force. On a plate surface with thick, bonded carbon layers accumulated through sustained high-volume cooking, that concentrated pressure is the difference between a blade that skims the surface and one that cuts through and lifts the deposit off the steel. For kitchens running 60-inch and 72-inch floor-model griddles, the SCRP-16's precision blade geometry addresses the deep carbon removal challenge that wide-blade scrapers are not optimized to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16-inch cast aluminum handle extends the operator's working reach and keeps both hands well above the radiant heat zone at the griddle plate surface during active cleaning passes. Paired with the dual-handle configuration, the SCRP-16 delivers the ergonomic control required to sustain effective blade pressure across a large plate surface without fatigue. The integrated splash guard contains hot grease and loosened debris within a controlled forward trajectory during each stroke, protecting the operator and keeping loosened material moving toward the grease collection channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features of the SCRP-16\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-inch wide removable stainless steel blade delivers concentrated downward pressure into a precise contact zone, making it purpose-built for stripping thick, bonded carbon deposits from 60-inch and 72-inch commercial griddle plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-inch cast aluminum handle provides significant reach above the griddle surface, keeping the operator's hands well away from the radiant heat generated by large-format commercial griddle plates at full operating temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-handle configuration allows both hands to engage the tool simultaneously, distributing downward force evenly across the blade contact zone and enabling sustained high-pressure cleaning passes without wrist or forearm fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated splash guard is built into the tool body above and behind the blade to intercept hot grease and debris displaced upward during forward scraping strokes on a heavily loaded plate surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable blade system allows the operator to swap the stainless steel cutting edge when it dulls without replacing the full cast aluminum handle assembly, reducing long-term tool replacement cost at the station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel blade construction resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity in the high-temperature, high-moisture, high-grease environment directly above a commercial griddle plate at full production temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length of 16 inches accommodates the full cleaning motion required on large floor-model griddles with adequate handle clearance above the plate surface during forward and lateral scraping strokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the SCRP-16 Is Designed For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCRP-16 is the right tool for commercial food service operations where a large-format griddle is the centerpiece of the cooking program and deep carbon removal is a regular requirement rather than an occasional maintenance task.

Thick carbon deposits on a commercial plate are hardened, bonded accumulations of polymerized oils, carbonized food proteins, and mineralized residue that has fused to the steel through repeated high-temperature cooking cycles. Removing these deposits requires a blade edge that maintains its geometry under sustained lateral force against a hard, abrasive surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel provides the combination of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance that this application demands. The blade edge maintains its geometry across repeated high-force passes over carbonized deposits without the rapid deformation that softer materials exhibit. Corrosion resistance ensures the blade does not degrade in the high-moisture, high-grease, high-temperature environment above the griddle plate, which would accelerate edge failure and shorten service life between replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5-inch blade width works with the stainless material to maximize cutting pressure at the edge. With downward force distributed across only 5 inches rather than 6 or more, each linear inch receives more force per pass. On a plate with thick bonded carbon, this increased force-per-inch allows the blade to cut under the deposit layer and lift it from the steel rather than compressing it further. When the edge shows wear from sustained deep-carbon cycles, the removable blade can be swapped at the station without replacing the 16-inch cast aluminum handle assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCast Aluminum Handle Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCRP-16 handle is constructed from cast aluminum, produced by pouring molten aluminum into a mold under pressure, creating a denser and more dimensionally stable component than stamped or extruded aluminum stock. For a 16-inch griddle scraper handle, that density provides the structural rigidity required to transmit downward force from the dual-handle configuration through the full 16-inch length to the blade contact zone without flex or deflection under load. A handle that deflects under load reduces the effective cleaning pressure at the blade tip relative to what the operator is applying - a direct performance liability on a scraper designed for maximum blade pressure at every pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16-inch length also affects the thermal environment for the operator. A longer handle keeps both hands farther above the radiant heat surface of a large griddle plate running at 350 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The mass of cast aluminum distributes absorbed heat more evenly than a thin-wall extruded body, reducing localized hot zones along the handle that could cause discomfort during sustained cleaning work. The corrosion resistance of aluminum is preserved in the cast form, so the handle resists surface degradation in the grease-laden, high-humidity environment of an active griddle station and holds up to routine wet cleaning over the tool's service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e16 Inch Reach for Operator Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16-inch total length of the SCRP-16 has a direct safety rationale. Commercial floor-model griddles radiate significant heat from the plate surface during active service and during the post-service cooling period when deep cleaning occurs. The longer the handle, the greater the separation between the operator's hands and the heat source during each cleaning pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 16 inches of total length, the SCRP-16 keeps the operator's hands approximately 10 to 12 inches above the plate surface when the blade is in full contact with the griddle. Radiant heat intensity drops rapidly with distance. For an operator completing a deep-carbon removal session on a 72-inch griddle across a 10 to 15 minute cycle, the cumulative difference in heat exposure at that separation is significant in terms of working comfort and sustained cleaning effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16-inch handle also accommodates the reach geometry of the dual-handle configuration. With both hands engaged at the dual-grip contact points, the operator's body is positioned farther from the plate than with a shorter single-grip tool, keeping hands and forearms at a comfortable working distance from the heat surface for the full cleaning session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDual-Handle Configuration Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-handle configuration unlocks the full cleaning performance of the 5-inch stainless blade on a large commercial griddle plate. A single-grip handle concentrates the operator's applied force at one contact point, creating uneven pressure distribution across the blade: maximum force near the load transfer point, diminishing pressure toward the opposite edge. The result is uneven blade contact requiring additional passes to address lower-pressure areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-handle configuration distributes the downward load between two transfer points positioned closer to the outer edges of the blade width, creating more even pressure across the full 5-inch stainless contact zone. For deep carbon removal, where uniform cutting contact across the full blade edge against a hard bonded deposit layer is the objective, even pressure distribution is a cleaning performance requirement, not a comfort feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-handle design also enables sustained work at the high force levels that deep carbon removal demands. Single-grip scraping at the force required to remove thick bonded carbon loads one wrist and forearm heavily, limiting how long the operator can maintain effective cleaning pressure. With both hands engaged, the force load is shared between both arms, allowing the operator to maintain pressure across the full surface area of a 60 or 72 inch plate without dropping force levels mid-session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrated Splash Guard for Grease Containment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCRP-16 includes a built-in splash guard as a standard part of the tool body. When the 5-inch stainless blade is driven forward across a heavily loaded griddle plate, the forward motion displaces material in multiple directions. The primary displacement is forward, toward the grease channel. But a component travels upward and backward toward the operator - on a heavily loaded plate during high-force deep carbon passes, this upward splash component can carry hot cooking grease and debris toward the operator's forearms and hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated splash guard is positioned above and behind the blade to intercept this upward trajectory, deflecting displaced material downward and forward toward the grease channel. This protects the operator from hot grease splash during aggressive cleaning passes and keeps loosened material moving in the correct direction rather than scattering across sections of the plate that have already been cleared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical result for cleaning efficiency is measurable. Without the guard, aggressive passes on a heavily loaded plate require follow-up passes over previously cleaned sections. With the guard containing each stroke's upward component, the cleaning cycle progresses more linearly from the far edge of the plate toward the grease channel, reducing total cleaning time per service period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBest Practices for Heavy Carbon Removal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCRP-16 performs best when used as part of a structured cleaning protocol for end-of-service deep carbon removal rather than light between-batch surface clearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the griddle to cool to approximately 250 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit before beginning a deep carbon session. This range provides thermal conditions where deposits have not fully rehardened but the plate is cool enough for the operator to work at close range across an extended session. Apply a small amount of cooking oil to affected sections before beginning. The oil penetrates under the edges of bonded carbon deposits and acts as a release agent, reducing the force required for the blade to cut under the deposit and lift it from the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse the dual-handle configuration to apply even downward force across the full 5-inch blade width. Drive the blade forward in firm, deliberate strokes rather than rapid back-and-forth motions. Back-and-forth creates friction without generating the sustained forward cutting force that lifts bonded carbon from the plate. Slow, controlled forward strokes allow the blade edge to cut under the deposit layer and peel it free rather than fragmenting it into smaller bonded sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWork in overlapping passes across the full plate width, addressing the most heavily carbonized zones first. After each pass, consolidate loosened debris toward the grease channel. Finish each section with a lighter-pressure cleanup pass before moving to the next. After the session is complete, follow with a clean griddle screen or cloth to remove residual debris and excess oil, then season the plate with a light coat of fresh oil before the next service period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInspect the stainless blade before and after deep carbon sessions. If the blade shows visible dulling, chipping, or deformation, replace it before the next cleaning cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage and Care for Stainless Blade Longevity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCRP-16 requires a straightforward maintenance routine to preserve the stainless steel blade and cast aluminum handle assembly across regular high-volume use. The primary priorities are keeping the blade clean between uses, protecting the edge from contact damage during storage, and monitoring blade condition before each cleaning session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter each use, remove the stainless blade from the handle body and wipe both components clean of grease, debris, and carbon fragments. For thorough post-session cleaning, wash the blade, handle body, and splash guard assembly with warm water and standard commercial kitchen detergent. Rinse all components thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before reassembly. The stainless blade and cast aluminum body are both corrosion-resistant, but storing assembled components wet allows standing moisture to accumulate in the blade mounting mechanism over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore the SCRP-16 assembled in a clean, dry location at or near the griddle cleaning station. A wall-mounted tool rack, a dedicated hook, or a purpose-built tool holder are appropriate options. The blade face must be protected from contact with other metal tools or hard surfaces during storage - metal-on-metal contact at the blade edge is one of the most common causes of premature blade dulling in commercial kitchen environments. Inspect the blade attachment mechanism periodically to confirm the stainless blade seats firmly and does not shift under load. Replace the blade at any sign of edge dulling, chipping, or deformation, or when working judgment indicates the blade is no longer cutting cleanly through carbon deposits in firm single passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSCRP-16 Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinco\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSCRP-16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy-duty grill scraper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSplash Guard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded (integrated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemovable Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Plate Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-inch and 72-inch commercial griddles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTypical Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeep carbon removal and heavy-duty cleaning on large-format commercial griddles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions About the Winco SCRP-16\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size griddle is the SCRP-16 best for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCRP-16 is best suited for commercial griddles with plate sizes in the 60-inch and 72-inch range. The 5-inch stainless steel blade, 16-inch cast aluminum handle, and dual-handle configuration are optimized for large-format floor-model griddle plates where deep carbon removal is a regular requirement and the operator needs the reach and leverage to work effectively across a wide plate surface at operating temperature. The longer handle keeps both hands well above the radiant heat of a large plate, and the narrower blade concentrates downward force for maximum cutting pressure against thick, bonded carbon deposits. Operators running countertop griddles in the 24 to 36 inch range or lighter-duty programs are likely better served by a shorter scraper more proportional to their plate size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the SCRP-16 blade made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCRP-16 blade is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel provides the edge hardness and corrosion resistance required for sustained deep carbon removal on commercial griddle plates. The stainless blade maintains its cutting edge geometry across repeated high-force passes against bonded carbon deposits better than softer blade materials, and it resists surface degradation in the high-temperature, high-moisture, grease-laden environment above a large commercial griddle plate at full production temperature. The blade is removable, so when the stainless edge dulls from sustained deep-carbon cleaning use, it can be swapped at the station without replacing the 16-inch cast aluminum handle assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you replace the blade on the SCRP-16?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The SCRP-16 uses a removable blade system that allows the operator to replace the stainless steel cutting edge without replacing the full handle assembly. Griddle scraper blades are wear items, and the intensive deep carbon removal work that the SCRP-16 is designed for accelerates edge wear relative to lighter cleaning applications. When the blade dulls from high-force use against bonded carbon deposits, the worn blade is removed and a replacement is installed, restoring cutting performance without discarding the cast aluminum dual-handle body. Keeping replacement blades stocked at the griddle cleaning station allows a blade swap to be completed quickly during a service gap so the next cleaning session begins with a sharp edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the SCRP-16 and the SCRP-14?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary differences between the SCRP-16 and the SCRP-14 are blade width, blade material, and intended griddle size. The SCRP-16 has a 5-inch stainless steel blade, while the SCRP-14 has a 6-inch blade. The narrower 5-inch blade of the SCRP-16 concentrates applied force into a smaller contact zone, delivering higher pressure-per-inch of blade edge for cutting through thick, bonded carbon deposits. The SCRP-14's wider 6-inch blade covers more plate surface per pass, making it more efficient for broad surface clearing on 36 to 48 inch griddles where speed of coverage is the primary objective. The SCRP-16 is optimized for 60-inch and 72-inch griddles where deep carbon removal demands concentrated blade pressure, while the SCRP-14 targets 36 to 48 inch plates where surface coverage speed is the primary cleaning requirement. Both tools share a 16-inch overall length, cast aluminum construction, dual-handle configuration, integrated splash guard, and removable blade system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the SCRP-16 and the SCRP-12?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCRP-16 and SCRP-12 serve opposite ends of the commercial griddle cleaning spectrum. The SCRP-16 is a heavy-duty tool with a 5-inch stainless steel blade, 16-inch cast aluminum handle, dual-handle configuration, and integrated splash guard, designed for deep carbon removal on 60 to 72 inch floor-model griddles in high-volume kitchens. The SCRP-12 is a compact economy scraper with a 4-inch blade, 12-inch aluminum shaft, and single PVC-sleeved grip, designed for routine surface cleaning on countertop griddles in the 24 to 36 inch range. The SCRP-16's stainless blade, cast aluminum body, dual-grip, and extended handle represent a significant step up in construction, performance capability, and intended use intensity from the SCRP-12's lightweight aluminum and single-grip design. Operators running large floor-model griddles in demanding environments should use the SCRP-16. Operators running small countertop units through lighter daily cycles are better served by the SCRP-12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the SCRP-16 dishwasher safe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel blade and cast aluminum handle components can both be cleaned by hand with warm water and standard commercial kitchen detergent. The blade can be removed from the handle for thorough individual cleaning of each component. For commercial dishwasher use, consult current Winco product documentation to confirm compatibility with the specific temperature and chemical cycles used in your kitchen's dishwashing program. Hand washing followed by thorough rinsing and complete air drying before reassembly and storage is the recommended routine care method and preserves the integrity of the blade attachment mechanism over repeated cleaning cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the SCRP-16 have a stainless blade instead of carbon steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel is specified for the SCRP-16 blade because the tool is designed for deep carbon removal in environments where blade corrosion resistance is as important as blade hardness. Griddle scraper blades operate in direct contact with a cooking surface routinely exposed to water, steam, acidic food residue, and commercial kitchen detergents during the cleaning cycle. A carbon steel blade in this environment is susceptible to surface rust, which creates a contamination risk on a food preparation surface and degrades blade performance as the edge corrodes. Stainless steel maintains its surface integrity in these conditions without the maintenance requirements of a carbon steel blade, making it the appropriate specification for a tool cleaned, reassembled, and put back into service at regular intervals throughout a demanding commercial kitchen operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the SCRP-16 be used on a hot griddle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The SCRP-16 is designed for use on a commercial griddle plate at operating temperature. For between-batch surface maintenance, cleaning at full cooking temperature is effective because grease and debris are in a fluid or semi-fluid state and displace forward with less resistance than cooled, hardened residue. For deep carbon removal sessions, allowing the plate to cool to approximately 250 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit before beginning the cleaning cycle provides the optimal balance between effective debris loosening and safe sustained working conditions at close range. The 16-inch cast aluminum handle keeps the operator's hands well above the radiant heat of the plate surface during active cleaning, and the dual-handle configuration positions the operator's body at a comfortable working distance from the plate for extended sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the dual-handle configuration help with deep cleaning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-handle configuration of the SCRP-16 helps with deep cleaning in two specific ways: force distribution and fatigue management. For force distribution, the two-hand grip positions both hands across a wider span on the handle, distributing downward force between two load transfer points closer to the outer edges of the 5-inch blade width. This produces more even cutting pressure across the full blade edge than a single-grip handle delivers, ensuring uniform cutting contact across the entire 5-inch width against bonded carbon deposits. For fatigue management, sharing the applied force load between both arms through the dual-grip allows the operator to sustain the high downward pressure required for deep carbon cutting across the long cleaning sessions that a 60 or 72 inch plate may require, without the rapid single-arm fatigue that single-grip high-force scraping produces over an extended session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I replace the stainless blade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacement frequency for the SCRP-16 stainless blade depends on the intensity of the cleaning program and the volume of deep carbon removal work performed per shift. For high-volume operations running multiple deep-carbon removal sessions per week on 60 or 72 inch griddles, blade replacement every few weeks to monthly is a reasonable planning interval, though condition-based replacement is always preferable to schedule-based replacement alone. For operations using the SCRP-16 less intensively, the stainless blade may remain effective for a longer interval before dulling is noticeable. Inspect the blade before each deep cleaning session. When the edge no longer cuts cleanly into bonded carbon deposits on the first firm forward pass, or when visible dulling, edge chipping, or deformation is present, replace the blade before beginning the next session. A sharp stainless edge requires less force per pass, produces less wear on the griddle plate surface, and completes each deep carbon cycle in fewer total strokes than a dull one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\"@graph\": [\n{\n\"@type\": \"Product\",\n\"@id\": \"https:\/\/therestaurantwarehouse.com\/products\/scrp-16#product\",\n\"name\": \"Winco SCRP-16 Griddle Scraper\",\n\"sku\": \"SCRP-16\",\n\"mpn\": \"SCRP-16\",\n\"url\": \"https:\/\/therestaurantwarehouse.com\/products\/scrp-16\",\n\"description\": \"Winco SCRP-16 heavy-duty commercial griddle scraper with a 5-inch wide removable stainless steel blade, 16-inch cast aluminum handle, dual-handle configuration, and integrated splash guard.
