The Griddle
1
The griddle fi ts a single pan support, front to back. It is
designed for cooking food on directly. Don’t use pans of
any kind on it. The griddle surface is non-stick and metal
cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the surface.
Use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
2
Don’t put it crossways - it will not fi t properly and will be
unstable.
Don’t put it on the Wok burner - it is not designed to fi t the
Wok burner pan support.
3
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners resting on
the pan support. The griddle can be lightly brushed with
cooking oil before use. Light the hotplate burners. Adjust
the fl ame heights to suit.
4
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before
adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage. You
can reduce the heat by turning the control knobs towards
the lower position (marked with the small fl ame symbol).
5
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases to
escape. Never fi t two griddles side by side. Large pans
should also be spaced well apart. The maximum pan
base diameter is 250mm.
Use the following heat settings as a guide for
griddle cooking.
High/medium:
Drop scones, Bacon, Chops, Steak, Burgers.
Medium/low:
Potato cakes, Eggs, Fish cakes.
Experience will soon familiarise you with the
correct setting to use for cooking.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before
cleaning.
