V THEORY AND OBSERVATIONS OF GRILL OPERATION
The Hot Dog High Roller Grill is designed for any concession application for re-heating hot dogs,
frankfurters, taquitos, and other pre-cooked products and sausages. The grills are suitable for
uncooked sausages but will require a higher temperature setting. Hot Dogs/Frankfurters may be
de-frosted for faster cooking.
These hotdog grills operate on a “cook and warm” principle. The cook temperature will heat and
cook the product in a matter of minutes and then they can be put into the warm mode (lower
setting) to keep them warm for several hours with little or no deterioration in appearance or taste.
This unique feature allows the HOT DOG HIGH ROLLER GRILL to maximize the merchandising
potential with the minimum of supervision. If they are left in the cook mode too long, the product
will likely over cook and burn.
VI CONTROL SWITCHES

RIGHT TEMPERATURE CONTROL
