Empura Gas Ranges

What should you look for in a gas range?

Selecting the right gas range depends on your menu, production volume, available kitchen space, and existing gas supply. Consider the number of burners, oven capacity, optional griddle configurations, fuel type, and ventilation requirements before installation. Heavy-duty stainless steel construction, removable burner grates, and durable controls can also improve long-term performance in demanding commercial environments.

Empura's gas range collection includes multiple widths and burner configurations with standard ovens, convection ovens, and optional griddles to accommodate a variety of commercial cooking applications.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a commercial gas range and a residential range?
Commercial gas ranges are designed for higher cooking volumes, continuous daily operation, and greater heat output than residential appliances.

How many burners does a commercial gas range need?
The ideal number depends on your menu, production volume, and available kitchen space. Smaller operations may only need four burners, while larger kitchens often benefit from six or more.

Can commercial gas ranges bake as well as cook on the stovetop?
Yes. Most commercial gas ranges include an oven beneath the cooktop, allowing operators to bake, roast, and cook on the burners simultaneously.

Do commercial gas ranges require a ventilation hood?
Yes. Most commercial gas ranges require a properly sized exhaust hood system to comply with local fire and health regulations.

Can a gas range use propane instead of natural gas?
Many commercial gas ranges are available in natural gas or liquid propane configurations. The correct fuel type should match the building's gas supply or an approved manufacturer conversion where applicable.
