GRIDDLES
PAGE 11
1. Good griddling requires clean equipment.
To provide evenly cooked and perfectly
browned foods, keep the griddle surface free
of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease
on griddle surface hinders the transfer of
heat from the griddle surface to the food,
resulting in spotty browning, loss of coo-
king efficiency, and worst of all, carbonized
grease tends to cling to the griddled foods
giving them a highly unsatisfactory and
unappetizing appearance.
2. At the end of each day’s operation, thor-
oughly clean the grease trough and spout
into grease drawer.
3. Clean the griddle surface with a pumice or
griddle stone rubbing with the grain of the
metal while the griddle surface is still warm.
4. Wipe griddle clean of residue from the
griddle stone.
5. Empty and wash out grease drawer with hot
water and a mild detergent. Wipe dry and
replace in griddle.
NOTE: Refere to Paragraph 3 to reseason
griddle before reuse.
1. De-energize griddle at disconnect switch.
This will cut off power to the heating
elements allowing griddle to cool thus
reducing the flash point temperature
making it easier to stop the fire.
2. Cover the affected area with a heavy
blanket or canvas. Play the fire extinguisher
nozzle over the blanket or cover to seal off
air thus smothering the fire.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to fight a grease
fire by playing the nozzle of the fire extin
guisher directly on the burning grease.
The force will cause the burning grease to
be sprayed to adjoining equipment making
it difficult to contain the fires. Only use a f
ire extinguisher filled with CO
2
for liquids
and oils and suitable for electric powered
equipment.

Surface
C. In Case of Fire
1. Clean all surrounding surfaces of the griddle
with warm water and a mild detergent daily.
2. Rinse and wipe off excess water.
3. Polish with a dry soft cloth.
NOTE: This simple treatment not only keeps
the equipment dirt free and sparkling, it also
eliminates the danger of grease accumulation
forming hard to remove stains if left too long.
