Some DO’s and DON’T’s of surface cooking.
1.
Do use utensils to fit the tops (9” to 10” [229 to 254 mm] inside diameter.
2.
Do use flat-bottom, straight-sided pots and pans.
3.
Do use covers for stock pot work. Water will boil much sooner and much less heat is required for cooking
in a covered container. Less water may be used thereby retaining vitamins and minerals in the food.
4.
Do turn off plates a few minutes before cooking is completed to use the heat stored in the plate.
5.
Do not allow surface plates to idle unloaded. The surface plates will reach very high temperatures and this
can cause the casting to warp or dome. Plates idled at a setting of MED-LO with a pot of water on them
and turned to HI when loaded will perform bulk cooking jobs just as rapidly, without damage to the plates.
GRIDDLE
Griddles are supplied with an 3000 watt heating element per 12” of griddle surface. Each heating element
is individually controlled by a thermostat with a range of 200°F to 550°F (93°C to 288°C).
The griddle will preheat to 400°F (204°C) in approximately 10 minutes or will come up to 400°F (204°C)
from a 300°F (149°C) setting in 3 minutes. During breakfast, you may set one control at 300°F (149°C) for eggs
and the other at 375°C (191°C) for pancakes, bacon, etc. During lunch, you might use the whole area at 350°F
(177°C) for hamburgers or set one side for hamburgers and the other at 400°F (204°C) for minute steaks and grilled
cheese sandwiches.
Between serving periods, foods that take longer to cook, such as soup or stew, may be simmered in a large
container set on the griddle surface. If no grilled items are to be served, pans of food may be kept hot on the griddle
at a setting of 200°F to 250°F (93°C to 121°C).

CAUTION
This griddle plate is steel, but, the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by the carless 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 edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
