PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION
General
The range is the workhorse of the kitchen because of its
versatility. Most frequently used in small applications, such as
cafes, schools, church kitchens, rehouses, and small nursing
homes where demands are less taxing. As a general rule of
thumb, one four to six burner range with a hot top will be
adequate for a restaurant seating 30 to 35.
The top of the range is designed for exibility and the
preparation of numerous dierent types of products. It may
be equipped with two, or even three dierent types of tops
and burners, depending on the menu needs. An operation
that cooks to order, or uses the range primarily as back-up
will nd that open burners will suit most of their needs.
Preparation of soups, stocks, or sauces is done on a hot top
where slow, even cooking is desirable.
Heating larger quantities of food can be done more
eciently than heating small quantities. Pots and pans
should be covered whenever possible to reduce energy
consumption.
High acid sauces, such as tomato should be cooked in
stainless steel rather than aluminum to avoid chemical
reaction. Light colored sauces such as Alfredo may be
discolored by the use of aluminum, especially if stirred with
a metal spoon or whip. Saltwater shellsh may pit aluminum
pots if they are frequently used for this purpose.
NOTE: Many parts of the commercial range are raw steel. Hot
tops, griddles, springs, door hooks etc., can react with the
moisture forming rust. This occurrence is normal and not
considered a defect. Clean with a stainless steel or ber pad.
A light coating of cooking oil may be applied.
Open Burners
The most traditional uses of open burners are sautéing, pan
frying, and small stock pot work. Short-term cooking is the
most ecient use for the open burner. Pans should cover
as much of the grate as possible to minimize heat loss. The
maximum stock pot size to be used on an open burner is 12
inches, (305 mm), diameter. Open burners should be turned
o when not in use to conserve energy. Leaving a ame
burning is of no advantage since the heat is instantaneous.
