Hi I'm Craig Smith, corporate executive chef of the Montague company. Welcome to our training. What we want to do today is take a little of the mystery out of how the steakhouse boiler works. We've had quite a few calls and emails from you our customers asking particular questions. So we'll just run through the process and we'll try to take the mystery out of cooking on the Montague steakhouse broiler.

If you notice on the top here we have a beautiful porterhouse steak--just searing away on top of the sear plate. The purpose of this is once the broiler is up to temperature and I must tell you it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to bring it up the temperature--to get to 600 degrees Fahrenheit in the center of the sear plate. But the purpose of this is to get a beautiful caramelization on the protein, whether it be a beef product, a pork product, a chicken product, and even a seafood product--we want to get the protein seared to maintain the juices inside the meat so you don't get a lot of blood on the plate when somebody cuts into it. Let me turn this over for you so you can see the other side. You notice how we have a sizzle here. We can put steaks all the way across here, we put portions of steak and chicken.

We can do a lot of different things with it. While we're waiting for this to sear I'd like to point out a few other features on the Montague steakhouse broiler. Notice we have a beautiful red glow here. That's because with the montague rata glow broiler system, this is an infrared heat. There's two types of broilers-- there's an under fire broiler and an over fired broiler. This is an infrared over fired broiler, and it's going to give us perfect harmony of heat so the outside of the steak is perfectly caramelized and the inside is succulent and juicy the way your customers like it.

A couple other things while we're talking about the sear plate, I'd like to show you--if you notice we have a drip tray. This drip tray goes on and off very easily. It's designed that we can empty it during service time or at the end of the evening. It's very simple to clean. To put it back on we just place it back on the broiler. And it sits there just like so. So any of the residual fats and oils from the proteins that are being exuded from the product--they go naturally to that area. At the end of the evening we just take a grilled spatula, scrape this down--wipe it down with some soft cloth and oil and we're ready to go for the next day.

Look at that beautiful steak. Now let's talk about what we do when we actually put it in the infrared broiler. You notice that the drawer moves in and out very carefully and you see a little spattering of the color there--it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. I like to keep one side on wide open--notice that the valves are straight up and down at 90 degrees for wide open. And then on the other side we can turn it down slightly. What this allows us to do is professional cooks and chefs is one side is going to be for rare, medium-rare, to medium. And on the other side if we chose to do this we could move this over here, we have about a 250 to 300 degree difference in temperature and we can actually cook our medium or medium-well to wells on this side and the outside won't be quite as dark as it would be if we left it on the wide open burner. We can also adjust the shelf up and down. If we have a thinner cut of steak, we can cook closer to the burner itself. If we have a thicker cut of steak, we want to drop it down on low. Most chefs they find after they work on here for a day or so they usually put it right in the center and they adjust their heat from one side to the other.

This is set up for a left-handed person, but if you're right-handed you can do it just the opposite. It's very simple. The door goes in and out very carefully, moves back in, and it really is all there is to it.
