How Commercial Gas Oven Ranges Work
Ever wondered what makes these kitchen powerhouses tick? Commercial gas ranges connect to your gas supply (natural or LPG) to fuel both the hob burners and the oven below. The heavy-duty cast iron top burners ignite instantly, delivering precise, controllable heat for your pans—usually between 5-10kW per burner. Meanwhile, the oven section uses separate gas burners with thermostatic controls, maintaining steady temperatures between 100-300°C. The clever bit is how they direct heat—either through conventional flow for even baking or with fan assistance for faster, more uniform results. Most professional models feature flame failure devices too, cutting gas flow if a flame goes out—keeping your kitchen safer during hectic service times.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Gas Oven Ranges
For top performance from your gas range, always preheat the oven thoroughly—at least 15 minutes before use ensures even cooking. Balance your burner use across the hob during service to maintain steady gas pressure. Keep cast iron surfaces seasoned with a light oil wipe after cleaning to prevent rust. Schedule professional service checks every 6-12 months to ensure gas safety and optimal efficiency. Clean spillages promptly to prevent burner blockages, and use oven thermometers to verify temperature accuracy, especially for temperature-sensitive baking.
