A commercial gas range puts open burners on top and one or two ovens underneath, and it is the main piece of cooking equipment on most restaurant lines. These rankings cover freestanding restaurant ranges 24 to 60 in wide, from import brands such as Empura, Atosa, KoolMore and MoTak to heavy-duty makers such as Garland, Vulcan, Southbend and Imperial. Household ranges, countertop hot plates and stand-alone ovens are left out.
Width sets the burner count. A 24 in range has four burners and a small oven, a 36 in range has six burners and one full-size oven, and 48 and 60 in ranges have eight or ten burners over two ovens. Measure the line, including the clearance the maker asks for at the sides and back.
Burner rating decides how fast a stockpot boils and how hard a wok or saute pan can be pushed. Open burners here run from 28,000 to 33,000 BTU each on natural gas. Propane ratings are often lower; each page shows them where the maker publishes a separate figure.
The oven is either a standard oven or a convection oven with a fan. A stronger oven burner recovers its temperature faster after the door opens. A convection fan bakes more evenly across several racks but needs an electrical outlet. Check that the interior takes the sheet pans you use: a full sheet pan is 18 by 26 in.
Gas type has to match the building. Every range here is listed in its natural gas version. Most convert to propane with orifices and a regulator, and a few ship with the conversion parts in the box. A commercial range also needs a vent hood and installation to local code.
