Gas Solid Top Oven Ranges

Solid top gas ranges are fantastic for getting maximum hotplate cooking space. A solid cast iron top distributes the heat of a number of burners beneath, so that pans and pots can be placed across the whole surface instead of having to be located over a particular burner. Generally at least two separately controlled cooking zones are provided so you can still vary the temperature, for instance having one side set to a boiling temperature and the other to a simmering or warming temperature.

A good range of solid top gas ranges are available from manufacturers like Lincat, Falcon, Imperial and Blue Seal. Some models come with extra features like removable bulls eye ring for wok cooking, drop down doors instead of side opening, built in splashbacks and extra shelves supplied.
