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.

A griddle assembly comprising: (a) an upper heat transfer plate defining an outer cooking surface and a lower inner surface, said upper plate being formed of a metal having a relatively low thermal conductivity; (b) a lower heat transfer plate disposed adjacent the lower surface of said upper plate, said lower plate being formed of a metal having a relatively high thermal conductivity with respect to the thermal conductivity of said upper plate; (c) said lower plate having an inner surface and an outer surface, the thermal conductivity of said lower plate being at least twice as great as the thermal conductivity of said upper plate; and (d) an insulator disposed between said upper plate and said lower plate, said insulator forming a first thermal barrier between said upper plate and said lower plate.
