Miraclean® Griddle

Experience the Miraclean Difference!

Keating Miraclean® Griddles.
American classics that keep them coming back.

The Keating Miraclean® Griddle Just like the food classics that keep hungry folks coming back, there's a griddle that people buy again and again. Keating is pleased that in a recent food service publication survey, Miraclean® Griddles earned a score of 100% when they asked the question “would you purchase again?”

Those kind of results are exceptional for this survey, and simply mean that Keating is building great griddles and we’ve been doing so for 75 years.

Here’s why Keating Miraclean® Griddles are the Best to Cook On, the Best to Own.

The effect of the Miraclean surface on heat radiation is dramatically demonstrated in these unretouched infrared thermographs. The thermograph on top shows high heat loss from a conventional steel griddle while the one on the bottom shows substantially less heat loss from the Miraclean surface. The key to great griddle performance is in the Miraclean® surface. The Keating Miraclean® Griddle begins with a 3/4" thick, precision formed, highly polished steel plate. A trivalent chrome surface is applied through an 8-step process.

The thermal conductivity of the Miraclean® plate assures controlled, even heat distribution throughout the cooking area.

However, the difference between Keating Miraclean® Griddles and all others rests in the surface – a surface so beautiful that it is often used for demonstration cooking.

The Miraclean® surface means:

A cooler kitchen.
The heat transmission from the griddle surface into the air around the griddle is less than 10% of a conventional “steel plate griddle”. That means less heat into the kitchen and happier employees.

Lower energy costs.
In an independent research study commissioned by a major utility, it was found that Miraclean® Griddles reduced energy use by 30%. That converts to savings of about $400.00 per year on the operation of a 3-foot griddle in average use.

Easier, cooler cooking.
The Miraclean® surface transfers heat more efficiently where you want it - to the food. Heat is maintained in the griddle plate. You can cook at lower temperatures, faster with less shrinkage, and control caramelization of food better than conventional griddles.

Honest, pure food taste.
The smooth Miraclean® chrome surface keeps flavors and food particles from being trapped as they are in steel plate griddles. The surface virtually eliminates flavor migration. This morning's pancakes will not taste like last night's liver and onions.

Far easier cleanup than conventional steel plate griddles.

Cleaning your Miraclean Griddle is as easy as 1, 2, 3! 1) Scrape the griddle with the Keating Scraper 2) Wash with cold water and a Keating Palmetto Brush 3) Polish with a damp cloth and Keating Klenzer

Keating’s smooth, Miraclean® surface is incredibly easy to clean.

It’s not just talk. Extensive testing at the University of Illinois has shown that foodservice employees can clean the Miraclean® Griddle in 44% less time than a typical competitor’s steel surface model! This labor savings is both a boost to the bottom line and a way to keep kitchen morale high.

By overwhelming margins, employees in the testing preferred the Miraclean® over the other griddle for ease of cleaning and brighter appearance after cleaning.

Scrape the griddle with the Keating scraper, wash with cold water and a Keating palmetto brush and polish with a damp cloth and Keating Klenzer. It's that easy and that quick.

An endless selection of sizes, options and custom configurations, and all with Keating quality.

We offer over 300 model variations of the Miraclean® in natural gas, LP or electric, to ensure that each and every customer has a griddle that meets his unique requirements and special needs.

For example, we make Steak Streaker sections on griddle tops that combine a flame broiled look with less product shrinkage.

Other Miraclean® Griddle styles include drop-in, portable electric and teppanyaki.

Standard plate sizes are 18", 24" and 30" deep and 24" to 72" wide. Standard troughs are full front and 3" left. Right side troughs are also available. Of course, larger models can be designed with both left and right troughs so that two people can easily cook at the same time.

Cutting boards of wood, plastic or stainless steel, plate shelves, belly bars, 4" adjustable legs, standard or stainless steel stands, and casters are all options.

But beyond all the options and sizes, Keating can help with design of custom installations that include Miraclean® Griddles and other fine Keating equipment.
