Power Source and Usage

How Commercial Gas Hobs Work

Commercial gas hobs operate on a beautifully simple but effective principle. When you turn the control knob, it regulates gas flow to the burner, where it mixes with air before ignition—typically via a piezo electric or automatic ignition system. The resulting flame heats your cookware directly, offering instant heat adjustment and exceptional temperature control. Unlike domestic versions, commercial gas hobs feature higher BTU outputs, hardier materials, and flame failure devices that cut the gas if the flame extinguishes—essential for busy kitchen safety. This direct heating method provides the immediate response and visual feedback that professional chefs swear by.

Safety Guidelines

  • Regular Inspections Schedule gas safety checks annually with Gas Safe registered engineers.
  • Proper Ventilation Ensure adequate extraction above hobs—prevents carbon monoxide buildup.
  • Visual Checks Monitor flame appearance daily—should burn blue, not yellow.
  • Flame Supervision Never leave gas burners unattended during operation.
  • Fire Safety Keep appropriate extinguishers nearby—never water on gas fires.
  • Emergency Shutdown Ensure staff know location of gas isolation valves.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Gas Hobs

To maximise your gas hob's performance, keep burner ports clean with a stiff brush to prevent blockages that affect flame pattern. Balance pan sizes with burner sizes—small pans on large burners waste gas and may damage handles, while large pans on small burners create hot spots. Check flame colour regularly; a yellow or orange flame indicates poor combustion requiring adjustment. For busy services, position your most-used pans strategically on the highest output burners for efficiency.

  • Chef Preference Most professional chefs prefer gas—familiarity improves kitchen performance.
