Griddle Plate Options
Chrome (Grooved plate available as option): • Ideal for display cooking concepts; very presentable even after use • Excellent food release properties • Limits food flavor transfer • Easy to clean (special polish and razor scraper are required) • Great for proteins and vegetables as well as delicate products such as eggs and fish • Emits the least amount of heat into the kitchen
Rapid Recovery™ Composite (Grooved plate not available as option): • Exclusive to Vulcan • Combines an aluminum core interior with a 304 stainless steel exterior; very durable • Transfers heat five times faster than traditional steel plates • Even heating across surface • Easiest to clean • Great for high volume applications or cooking burgers and other proteins • Emits less heat than steel in kitchen
Standard 1" Steel Plate 18 mm Composite Plate
Material is exclusive to Vulcan
304 SS Exterior: Low porosity Easy cleaning (compared to chrome)
Aluminum Core: 1/3 the weight 5X the heat transfer
Plate Thickness (Range anywhere from 3/8" to 1-1/2" based on model):
• Thin Plate – 3/8" to 3/4" » Transfers heat and reaches desired temperatures quickly » Requires less energy to reach desired temperature » Distributes heat less evenly than a thick plate » More cost-effective
• Thick Plate – 1" to 1-1/2" » Retains heat longer than thin plates, allowing faster recovery
» More even heat distribution » Less temperature fluctuation » Requires more energy to reach desired temperature
