Development of a gas-fired, double-sided griddle (GFDSG) for high volume cooking in fast food restaurants and institutional kitchens is described. The griddle contacts and cooks both sides of the food simultaneously without crushing, has a large batch capacity, uniform temperature over the cooking surfaces, great thermal efficiency, and is simple to operate and clean. The technical challenge of efficient transfer of heat from a gas flame to the upper (downward facing) cooking surfaces was solved through the use of an intermediate heat transfer fluid (mineral oil) which is pumped from a fluid heater in the base of the griddle to all cooking surfaces.
