Clamshell grills can cut cooking time and labor costs. These units, though, have to be taken care of. Operators must be willing to invest in their cleaning and maintenance to make them last. Here are some tips for keeping clamshells working well:
Clamshell Grills have long been popular for their quick food production and ease of use. With labor shortages in the foodservice sector, these items are almost certainly growing in importance, as they allow for higher throughput without increasing labor hours.
Maintaining grills and griddles is important from a safety standpoint since grease buildup is a big fire hazard.
When choosing a grill, operators should determine what type suits the menu and operation.
Grills have heat sources located below the cooking grate, while griddle controls determine how much thermal energy is stored.
Countertop griddles are typically categorized as heavy-duty countertop cooking equipment and are versatile workhorses that have a central location in many kitchen equipment lineups.
