Ranges Education

  • Heavy Duty Ranges vs. Restaurant Ranges
    There are both pros and cons to heavy duty ranges and restaurant ranges. Differences that should be considered before purchase include cost, durability, power and space limitations.
  • Salamanders, broiler/griddles, cheesemelters
    There are three categories of overfired broilers: cheesemelters, salamanders and griddles/broilers. Heat is radiated in overfired broilers to allow the user to finish products quickly, broil, or melt cheese.
  • Top Configurations
    All heavy duty and restaurant ranges must have a top configuration. Options for top configurations include gas or electric burners, hot top, griddle top, french top, salamanders and cheesemelters.
Most restaurants will need either a heavy- or standard-duty commercial range. Cafeterias, dining halls or large restaurants will want to go with a heavy-duty model because it is designed to keep up with the demands of a high-volume kitchen. Smaller restaurants should only need a standard, restaurant-style model.
 
Whichever type you need, various top configurations are available for different cooking tasks. Griddle tops and open burners are just some examples. Restaurants that make a lot of grilled meats will want a griddle. Open burners are ideal for sauce pots. Commercial kitchens that focus primarily on soups or stews should consider a specialty range for stock pots.

Commercial ranges are available for Asian restaurants as well. These pieces of equipment feature specialized burner shapes for woks. Many units also have a faucet attached to the back to quickly rinse woks out between food batches.
