Abstract
This invention provides an open fryer griddle for use with deep fat fryers and other immersion-type hot liquid cooking equipment. Among other advantages, this open fryer griddle is portable, inexpensive to manufacture, and efficient. In a preferred embodiment, the open fryer griddle includes a griddle plate for cooking foods, and means for positioning the griddle plate in relation to the deep fat fryer. The griddle plate has a top surface and a rim. The open fryer griddle is positioned so that the top surface of the griddle plate is below the surface of liquefied fat in the fryer and the upper portion of the rim of the griddle plate is above the surface of the liquid. As a result, heat from the liquid fat is conducted directly to the open fryer griddle and also heats the air directly above the griddle surface, thereby permitting more efficient cooking.
