A griddle for cooking a food product includes an upper surface, a lower
surface, a first side, a second side, a front side and a rear side. A
serpentine passageway is formed on the lower surface. A collector tank is
secured directly to the lower surface adjacent to the first side of the
griddle. The collector tank is in communication with the serpentine
passageway formed on the lower surface. A boiler is secured directly to
the lower surface adjacent to the second side of the griddle. The boiler
is in communication with the serpentine passageway formed on the lower
surface. Heat may be applied directly to at least one of the collector
tank and the boiler for heating a fluid disposed therein and supplying
the heated fluid to the serpentine passageway for providing heat for
cooking a food product disposed on the upper surface of the griddle.
