- Consider height clearance needed for taller pots and flambéing.
- Factor in safe distances from walls and combustible materials—at least 15cm all around.
Gas Type and Installation
- Determine your gas source—natural gas or LPG bottles require different setups.
- Professional installation is recommended—pairs with your existing extraction system.

How Commercial 1 Burner Gas Hobs Work
Commercial single burner gas hobs operate on a brilliantly simple principle. They connect to your gas supply—either natural gas or LPG—and use precision valves to control the flow to the burner. When ignited, either through piezo ignition or manual lighting, the gas mixes with air to create the perfect flame. The heavy-duty cast iron pan supports distribute heat evenly while keeping your cookware stable. Most models feature flame failure devices that cut the gas if the flame goes out—a cracking safety feature! With easy-to-adjust temperature controls, you can go from gentle simmer to rolling boil in seconds, giving you precise control over your cooking.

Top Tips for Using Commercial 1 Burner Gas Hobs
To get the most from your single burner gas hob, keep the burner heads clean from food debris to ensure even flame distribution. Use appropriately sized cookware—pots should match the burner size for optimal efficiency. Give cast iron supports a regular wipe-down with oil to prevent rusting. For mobile catering, consider a windshield attachment to maintain flame consistency outdoors. And lastly, pair with induction hobs in hybrid kitchens to maximise cooking versatility while controlling ambient heat.
