Benefits of technology

[0011] An advantage of the present invention is providing a griddle that is more easily adjusted and more precisely controlled than known griddle burner arrangements.
[0012] Another advantage of the present invention is providing a griddle burner assembly that is more conveniently used than known burner assemblies.
[0013] Still another advantage of the present invention is providing

Problems solved by technology

Several problems and inconveniences have been experienced with known cooking griddles.
The griddle burner is confined in a substantially enclosed space, with limited viewing access thereto.
Accordingly, someone operating and adjusting the burner for the desired heating of the griddle cannot easily see the flame emanating from the burner.
Unlike open burners of cook tops, it is difficult for a cook to knowingly adjust the griddle burner to a desired heat setting.
The same is not true for griddle adjustment in which the burner cannot be seen easily.
This is especially problematic in commercial kitchens in which one setting may be desired early in the morning when preparing breakfast foods such as panc

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to gas fired cooking appliances, and, more particularly, the invention pertains to the control of a gas fired cooking griddle that may be independent or part of a cooking range. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Gas fired cooking ranges are used in both residential and commercial kitchens. A basic design for a gas fired range includes a gas supply source, a manifold and one or more burner assemblies for receiving gas from the gas supply source via a connection to the manifold. It is also known to provide a cooking griddle as part of the cook top. It is further known to provide cooking griddles independent of gas fired, open flame cooking tops. [0003] A cooking griddle is known to provide a substantially continuous flat cooking surface on which food items can be placed directly for cooking. [0004] Whereas open flame cooking tops are generally used with cooking utensils such as pots or pans, a griddle can be used by placing ...
