Setup and Installation

The Winco PGW-510 Pan Grate is designed for easy integration into standard third-size steam pans or for direct use on flat cooking surfaces like griddles. Its elevated design ensures proper air circulation and drainage.

1. For Steam Pans: Place the grate inside a compatible third-size steam pan. Ensure the grate sits securely on the pan's bottom, elevating food above any liquids or for even heat distribution during smoking.
2. For Griddle Use: Position the grate directly on a heated griddle surface to keep cooked items warm without overcooking or to allow excess grease to drain.

Operating Instructions

The Winco Pan Grate offers multiple functionalities to enhance your cooking and food preparation processes.

• Cooling Rack: Use the grate to cool baked goods such as muffins and cookies. The open grid design allows for optimal airflow, preventing condensation and ensuring even cooling.
• Keeping Food Warm: On a griddle or other heated surface, place the grate to elevate cooked items like burgers or vegetables. This keeps them warm while preventing them from sitting in grease or continuing to cook directly on the hot surface.
• Smoking/Roasting: When used within a steam pan, the grate elevates meat (e.g., brisket) above the pan's base, allowing smoke and heat to circulate evenly around the food for consistent cooking and flavor infusion. It also keeps the meat out of accumulated juices.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Winco Pan Grate, follow these cleaning instructions:

• After Each Use: Allow the grate to cool completely. Remove any food debris.
• Hand Washing: Wash with warm, soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots or rust.
• Dishwasher Safe: The chrome finish allows for convenient cleaning in a dishwasher. Place on the top rack if possible to avoid potential damage from heavier items.

Troubleshooting

The Winco Pan Grate is a simple and durable tool. Should you encounter any issues, consider the following:

• Improper Fit: Ensure the grate size matches your pan or intended use. This model is specifically designed as a third-size pan grate.
• Rusting: While chrome-plated, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can affect the finish. Always dry thoroughly after washing. If minor rust appears, it can often be removed with a mild abrasive cleaner and immediate drying.
• Warping: This heavy-duty grate is designed to resist warping. Extreme temperature changes or excessive weight might cause minor deformation. Ensure it is used within typical kitchen temperatures and not overloaded.
