Summary of Te

21、st Methods4.1 The griddle is connected to the appropriate, meteredenergy source. The measured energy input rate is determinedand checked against the rated input before continuing with anyfurther testing.4.2 The griddle surface temperature is monitored directlyabove the thermostat sensing points, and

22、 the cooking surface iscalibrated to 375F (191C) based on these points. Additionalpoints are monitored at predetermined locations while thegriddle is idled at a nominal 375F.4.3 The preheat energy and time and idle energy rate aredetermined while the griddle is operating with the thermostatsset at a

23、 calibrated 375F (191C). The rate of pilot energyconsumption is also determined when applicable to the griddle.4.4 Energy consumption and time are monitored while thegriddle is used to cook six loads of frozen,14-lb (0.11-kg),20 % fat pure beef hamburger patties to a medium-donecondition with the th

24、ermostats set at a calibrated 375F(191C). Cooking energy efficiency, cooking energy rate,production capacity, and surface temperature recovery time aredetermined for heavy- (whole cooking surface loaded withproduct) and light-load (single serving) test conditions.5. Significance and Use5.1 The energ

25、y input rate test is used to confirm that thegriddle is operating properly prior to further testing.5.2 The temperature uniformity of the cooking surface isused by food service operators to choose a griddle that providesa uniform temperature distribution.5.3 Preheat energy and time can be useful to

26、food serviceoperators to manage power demands and to know how rapidlythe griddle can be ready for operation.5.4 Idle energy rate and pilot energy rate can be used toestimate energy consumption during non-cooking periods.5.5 Cooking energy efficiency is a precise indicator ofgriddle energy performanc

27、e under various loading conditions.This information enables the food service operator to considerenergy performance when selecting a griddle.5.6 Production capacity is used by food service operators tochoose a griddle that matches their food output requirements.6.
