GENERAL
The Lang gas melter can be used to poach, sauté and brown. In addition to
melting cheese on sandwiches, French onion soup, hot apple pie and
casseroles, it may be used for finishing Italian, Mexican and au gratin dishes
utilizing less energy than conventional broilers.
The product is heated with 1650
°
F of infrared heat, which penetrates the
product preventing burning and scorching. The rack is counterbalanced so that
maximum heat is supplied only when the product is placed in the rack.
Although the heating elements are not directly controlled to regulate heat, the
exposure of the product to heat is adjustable. Heat adjustment may be obtained
by raising and lowering the rack position. The shelf positions provide a choice
of cooking positions for a variety of applications. The top position is very hot,
and can be used for quick browning and toasting, with the heat decreasing at
each lower position.
In order to change positions, simply slide the rack in and out of the slots
provided. Make sure that the end of the rack engages the sliding mechanism
located on the right front corner.
