Griddle with broiler underneath - question Thu, 12/2/10 11:08 AM (permalink)
Hey guys
 
I found a used griddle with a broiling tray underneath. I like the idea of this setup for keeping orders warm or melting/toasting items. Does anyone have any experience with this type of set up?
 
The model is a Rankin-Delux GB-36-C. It has 5 burners which leads me to believe I can have better control over the griddle area by being more precise with the heat. I'm more than likely going to buy it tomorrow unless I hear a reason why I should stay away from this type of setup.
 
Thanks

    Sounds good to me, I think you are on the right track. The manufacturer, I have heard of them, nothing bad, nothing good, just heard of them. But, there is not much to these units and parts are normally easy to get if needed.

        Just make sure that it will actually act as a broiler/salamander.
        I have a griddle that is part of a 6-burner/double oven unit,
        it has slide-out broiler tray under the griddle & uses the flames
        that are heating the griddle. Unfortunately, it would take 30 minutes to melt cheese in this thing, there is just not enough heat generated downward.
