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.
