The Miraclean® Griddle can be kept in perfect condition by using a razor blade griddle scraper to remove the film that is deposited from the products that have been previously cooked. Eggs, being cooked at a lower temperature, require substantially no scraping; but meat and meat products cooked at a higher temperature, do require scraping. Pancakes or wheat cakes which are cooked at a much higher temperature, do not require that
the Griddle be scraped. It is merely brushed clean with the spatula.
The important thing about the satisfactory use of the Miraclean® Griddle is to understand its rapid heat transfer at low temperatures, and to understand how to maintain the Griddle plate clean and shiny at all times. If an accumulation builds up on the Miraclean® Griddle, it is necessary only to wash it with a palmetto pot brush and cold water. As you pour water on the Griddle and

COOKING PROCEDURES
MIRACLEAN® Griddles are designed to provide maximum production efficiency and deliver high quality food products. Follow cooking procedures below.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Set the thermostat to the desired temperature and wait ten minutes for preheat. The operating temperature should be from 10° F to 25° F lower than conventional griddles – at least start at lower temperatures. You may be able to work the temperature up as you become accustomed to the more rapid cooking of the Miraclean® Griddle.
2.Cook as usual, but after each batch scrape the griddle in the work area completely clean, using the 4" wide scraper supplied by Keating. (This may be the only cleaning you will ever need.)
HIGH TEMPERATURE – Since the Miraclean® Griddle does not radiate heat (for all practical purposes) sometimes people turn the griddle all the way up to 400°F. Eggs, bacon, hash browns and hamburgers will not cook on a very hot griddle. Use low temperatures and work your way up to the proper temperature.
BEST COOKING AREAS ON THE
MIRACLEAN® GRIDDLE
To use the best cooking areas, locate the inverted “V’s” on the front of the griddle cooking plate. Depending on your model you may have from one to six thermostats. The “V’s” indicate where the thermostat sensing bulbs are located below the plate.
If you cook over the sensing bulb only you are drawing heat from that section; the thermostat calls for heat but since it has not dissipated in the other areas of the surface, you can overheat the griddle plate.
