Vulan Griddles and Charbroilers
Countertop Griddles and Charbroilers by Vulcan
Griddles
Griddles are an invaluable peice of equipment. They cook a wide variety of foods, from pancakes, breads and buns, to bacon, hamburgers and chicken transferring heat from a metal plate directly into the food product. The thickness of the griddle plate is important, as it affects the cooking process, determining how quickly the desired temperature is reached and overall product lifetime.

Charbroilers
Charbroilers use dry heat to cook, reheat and brown foods. Think of a charbroiler as a firebox with a grate over the flame to cook foods. These devices are used primarily for meats, including fish, hamburgers, chicken and steaks, but can be useful in finishing off dishes and reheating entrees.
  • Open-flame taste in a convenient low profile, countertop design
  • Top grate adds appealing sear marks to foods
  • Gives food a smoky, flame-cooked taste
  • Some models feature tilting grates, which allow for grease to run down the grate instead of dropping in to the heat source
