    Range Sizes

    The most common range widths are 36″, 48″, and 60″, but models are available anywhere from 12″ up to 72″. Choosing the best range size depends on your hood space and your restaurant concept and application.

    Range Configuration

    Top configuration is based on your application and menu, which mainly consists of the following:

    Gas Open Burner

    Gas burners are the most common type of cooktop found in commercial kitchens, and can be used to make a variety of menu items by sautéing, boiling, frying, wok frying, stewing, and more. Gas burner cooktops usually come in configurations of 4 or 6 burners.

    Hot Top / French Top

    A hot top is a flat surface is a meant for cooking with pots and pans. The advantage of the hot top’s flat surface is that, in high volume kitchens, pots and pans can be shifted very quickly from burner to burner, and from off the burner to on the burner. French tops provide a softer, more even heat that’s great for stockpots. They are also easier to clean

    Griddle Top

    A griddle cooktop is a flat surface on which food is directly cooked. Griddles are commonly used in restaurants that serve breakfast, or where cooking a lot of menu items like frying rice, grilling burgers and sandwiches, and making omelettes and that cannot be cooked in a pot or pan

    Combination Surface

    Combination cooktops are popular among small-to-medium sized kitchens where there is limited kitchen space, and where versatility is needed more than volume.  Common configurations include several burners plus a hot top, or a griddle plus burners and they are best for application where you want to make most of the available space under your canopy.
