Commercial Restaurant Ranges

What are commercial restaurant ranges?

The range is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment in a commercial kitchen, with the ability to fry, grill, broil, saute, boil, braise, simmer, warm and even bake! Choose from units with various numbers of burners, so you can cook multiple items simultaneously. Additionally, each range’s temperature can be easily adjusted with a knob, so you can quickly take your foods from a boil to a simmer. Commercial restaurant ranges mainly include several products: Commercial Gas Restaurant Ranges

A commercial gas range is a workhorse that your commercial kitchen can rely upon. Models are available with different numbers of burners. Gas ranges can be configured with standard ovens, convection ovens, open storage bases or a combination of those. Several models incorporate a griddle top to expand your cooking option within the same piece of equipment.

Commercial Countertop Ranges

When kitchen and floor space is limited, but you require a range to accomplish a multitude of cooking tasks, look for a commercial countertop range. Electric, gas-powered models, as well as induction style ranges, are available. Take advantage of cooking power while taking up very little space.

How to choose commercial restaurant ranges?

• GAS OR ELECTRIC?

There's no right answer when it comes to choosing between gas or electric for your range—it's really up to personal preference. Chefs have long loved the cooking consistency of a gas range, and you can often save money on electric utilities since gas tends to be cheaper. That said, with an electric range you don't have to worry about a gas leak and with the advent of induction units, which are more energy efficient, you could even see a decrease in your bills.

• STANDING PILOTS OR ELECTRONIC IGNITION?

Instead of guiding your purchase decision by what some may refer to as "restaurant grade" or "heavy-duty grade", we encourage you to instead consider your environment and menu. Places like churches and firehouses should not have standing pilots, which is why you should consider a commercial range equipped with electric ignition. With an electric ignition, there is an electric spark that lights the flow of gas (similar to your gas range at home) for an immediate flame.

Not only is it safer, but you'll save a lot on your gas bill (in some cases, thousands of dollars) by not utilizing a standing pilot light. Commercial ranges equipped with electronic ignition (an optional upgrade in many cases) may cost more up front, but your long-term savings will more than make up the cost!

• HOOD SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Before designing your dream range configuration, consider if your kitchen has space for it! Every commercial range will need some kind of a hood system to filter smoke and grease-laden particles from the air. Without a properly functioning hood system, you could be putting yourself and your employees at dangerous risk of a grease fire.

Codes vary between municipalities, but general rules require a minimum space of six inches around the entire range. That means that your hood must extend at least 6 inches beyond your commercial range.
