Scope

5.1 The energy input rate test is used to confirm that the double-sided griddle is operating properly prior to further testing.

5.2 The temperature uniformity of the bottom cooking surface may be used by food service operators to select a double-sided griddle that provides a uniformly cooked product.

5.3 The preheat energy and time can be useful to food service operators to manage power demands and to know how rapidly the double-sided griddle can be ready for operation.

5.4 The idle energy rate and pilot energy rate can be used to estimate energy consumption during non-cooking periods.

5.5 Cooking energy efficiency is a precise indicator of double-sided griddle energy performance under various loading conditions. This information enables the food service operator to consider energy performance when selecting a double-sided griddle.

5.6 Production capacity is used by food service operators to choose a double-sided griddle that matches their food output requirements.

1.1 This test method covers the energy consumption and cooking performance of double-sided griddles. The food service operator can use this evaluation to select a double-sided griddle and understand its energy efficiency and productivity.

1.2 This test method is applicable to thermostatically controlled, double-sided gas and electric (or combination gas and electric) contact griddles with separately heated top surfaces.

1.3 The double-sided griddle can be evaluated with respect to the following (where applicable):

1.3.1 Energy input rate (10.2);

1.3.2 Temperature uniformity across the cooking surface(s) and thermostats accuracy (10.3);

1.3.3 Preheat energy and time (10.4);

1.3.4 Idle energy rate (10.5);

1.3.5 Pilot energy rate, if applicable (10.6);

1.3.6 Cooking energy rate and efficiency (10.7); and

1.3.7 Production capacity and cooking surface temperature recovery time (10.7).

1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conve......
