Abstract
A large, thin griddle plate defines discrete heating zones, so that each zone has its own temperature. The griddle plate is made of a thin, relatively low conductivity metal and received along its bottom surface substantially thick, juxtaposed heat transfer blocks disposed in spaced relationship, side-by-side, beneath and laminated to discrete portions of the griddle plate. Infra-red burners carried beneath the blocks supply infra-red heat and convection heat to said blocks. The blocks are adhered to the griddle plate by an adhesive thermal barrier having heat conductive metal therein.
