Vollrath Adds Cayenne Heavy-Duty Thermostatic Griddle

Sheboygan, WI –  Vollrath, the premier manufacturer of equipment and smallwares, has added the Cayenne HD Gas Thermostatic Griddle to its HD line, creating the most complete line of heavy duty countertop cooking units available on the market. The Thermostatic Griddle provides maximum operational efficiency in the commercial kitchen with the inclusion of thermostatic controls and an embedded thermostatic probe positioned 3/16” from the cooking surface, which accurately maintains the user’s settings to ensure consistent surface temperature for all-day operation. Featuring stainless steel burners and a durable all-stainless exterior to guard against corrosion, Vollrath’s Thermostatic Griddle makes an ideal addition to any commercial kitchen.

“We’ve been using Vollrath’s thermostatic griddle in our operation and it continues to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the 12 -13 hours a day we serve, which means we can stay right on target with cook time procedures,” notes Chef John Zachman, Checkers Drive-In, Inc, Wisconsin Rapids, WI. “It’s also using about 14 percent less energy than our old unit.

Vollrath’s Cayenne HD Thermostatic Griddle includes burners placed every 12 inches to maximize surface temperature, while providing a 24-inch cooking surface depth. The welded steel griddle is a polished one-inch thick plate that provides even heat distribution and retention while eliminating grease and dirt traps while cooking. The small-width grease trays are sized to fit in commercial dishwashers, providing easy clean-up in a fast paced commercial kitchen environment.

Vollrath’s HD Thermostatic Griddle is shipped for installation with natural gas, but it also includes an easy conversion kit to work with propane. Also, the HD Thermostatic Griddle includes innovative safety features such as mechanical safety pilots that can stand up to intense commercial cooking. The safety pilots ensure that the gas will shut off if the pilot goes out, keeping the kitchen as safe as possible. In addition, the units feature an extra-heavy, five-inch back and tapered side splashes to provide additional protection for the foodservice professional and the kitchen overall.

Vollrath’s HD Thermostatic Griddle is offered in five sizes, from 24 inches to 72 inches, for use in any kitchen. Each unit includes durable, adjustable legs and heavy-duty control knobs and knob guards that are guaranteed for life.

“Vollrath’s HD Thermostatic Griddle further expands our heavy-duty countertop cooking offering, allowing foodservice operators to create a cutting-edge, yet energy-efficient kitchen. In addition, the units deliver precise temperatures to help the foodservice professional create reliable cook time procedures and consistently deliver high-quality food to their customers,” said Vollrath’s Senior Product Manager Mike Hebden.
