LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
MIRACLEAN
®
GRIDDLE
(See lighting instructions plate attached to front of
MIRACLEAN
®
Griddle).
Make sure that the main gas valve on the gas supply
line to the Miraclean
®
Griddle is in the “ON” position.
1. Turn gas valve knob to "pilot" position.
2. Push gas valve knob inwards and push the red
spark ignition button to light the pilot. Then hold the
knob for 90 seconds.
3. Release the pilot gas valve knob; pilot should
remain burning. Turn the knob to the ON position.
4. Turn ON/OFF switch to ON position.
5. Set thermostat dial to desired position.
AIR IN THE SUPPLY LINE MAY REQUIRE A LONGER
THAN NORMAL PERIOD OF TIME TO LIGHT YOUR
MIRACLEAN
®
GRIDDLE DURING INITIAL
INSTALLATION, AFTER OVERNIGHT SHUTDOWN,
OR WHEN RELIGHTING.
A 5 MINUTE COMPLETE SHUT OFF PERIOD IS
REQUIRED BEFORE APPLIANCE IS RELIT.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR MIRACLEAN® GRIDDLE
UNATTENDED.
SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn ON/OFF switch to "OFF" position.
2. Turn gas valve knob to "OFF" position.
3. Check to determine that all burners and pilots are
extinguished.
COOKING WITH YOUR
MIRACLEAN
®
GRIDDLE
You will find that your new Miraclean
®
Griddle has
superb heat transfer. The polished trivalent chrome
finish of the Miraclean
®
reduces the emission of radiant
heat. Radiant heat is measured by emissivity. The
radiant heat of a perfect black body has
an emissivity of 1. The radiant heat of a
conventionally seasoned Griddle plate is
approximately .87. The radiant heat of the
Miraclean
®
has an emissivity of .078.
You can prove this to yourself by holding your hand
approximately 1/2" above the Miraclean
®
Griddle plate.
At this distance it is difficult to tell whether the Griddle
plate is hot or not. It feels as though the Griddle plate is
barely warm, but if you touch the plate, it will burn you.
The polished trivalent chrome finish on the Miraclean
®
Griddle plate is a wonderful insulator. It prevents the
radiant heat from leaving the griddle plate. It transfers
conducted heat to the food being cooked more rapidly
than other griddle plates, because the food is placed
directly on the metal surface. It is the understanding of
this rapid heat transfer that permits the practical and
beneficial use of the Miraclean
®
Griddle.
The Miraclean
®
Griddle finds an application in all sorts of
griddle work, from cooking wheat cakes to scrambling
eggs. We use these two products as illustrations
because generally wheat cakes are cooked on a hot
griddle. Eggs must be scrambled on a relatively cold
griddle. Between these two extremes fall dozens of
griddled items- everything from grilled frankfurters,
grilled Italian sausage, grilled sausage patties, the entire
range of steaks and chops and
chicken and fish.
It is necessary to understand that the
carmelization of the meat products
being cooked takes place at a higher
rate and at a lower griddle surface
temperature because of the improved
heat transfer of the Miraclean
®
Griddle.
Eggs can not only be scrambled, but
can be fried in any fashion. If the eggs
are to be basted it is necessary to have a metal cover,
and to spill or splash a small amount of water under the
cover so that the steam will baste the top of the eggs.
Eggs require a very low temperature because generally
you do not want the eggs to be browned on the bottom
where they come in contact with the griddle plate.
Approximately 250°F is ideal for scrambling or frying
eggs.
There are several griddle tools. A hamburger spatula is
like the one pictured here. The hamburger must stick at
least slightly to the griddle to hold its shape. If it does not
stick it shrinks in diameter, and the center of the meat
becomes thicker. It becomes more of a meat cake than
a hamburger. Therefore, the hamburger spatula has a
strong cutting edge.
An egg spatula
is shown in this illustration. An egg spatula has a long
very thin blade so that it can be slipped under the egg
without damaging it or breaking the yolk. This spatula
can also be used for chopping the scrambled eggs so
as they are turned they can be cooked to perfection
without unnecessary browning. This same spatula is
used for omelettes.
