USING THE GRIDDLE
To preheat, turn the burners on about 20 -25 minutes before cooking.
A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent
product results.
The griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by
careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate
surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the
corner or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
ZONE COOKING
This griddle features a tubular U -shaped burner in each
12” section, each controlled by
independent valves
. Each 12” section is a separate cooking zone, and allows cooking a
wide variety of products over a single griddle plate. The chart below is a suggested usage
of zone cooking.
When zone cooking, it is suggested that you start with your lowest temperature setting at
either side of the griddle, increasing the zone temper ature as you move up the zone line.
These zone cooking guidelines will vary depending on product temperatures, size and
shape. This guide should be adjusted to suit your product and operational cooking
preference.
