GRIDDLES Griddle Heat Source Options
Atmospheric Burners: • Traditional standard gas burner; economical
IRX™ Infrared Burners: • Newer to the industry; more efficient • Transfers heat more evenly and quickly across the griddle plate surface than atmospheric burners • Facilitates faster recovery resulting in more consistent cook times and greater throughput (50+ lbs/hr) • Reduces gas usage by12-20%
Electric Element: • All electric models
Induction: • Relatively new to the market and use induction elements to generate heat directly in and across the griddle plate so they heat up very quickly, greatly speeding up cooking times
Benefits of Electric Griddles • Often cheaper than gas
• Often available where gas isn't • Seen as safer to operate than gas • Generally provides lower long-term operating costs due to their energy efficiency
Embedded vs. Bottom-Mounted Thermostats
Embedded Thermostats offer the most sensitive thermostat response and ensure the fastest recovery and tightest temperature control.
Surface-Mounted Thermostats are NOT as sensitive to temperature change as the embedded design. A thicker plate can further reduce sensitivity.
