Collection: Commercial Cooktop

What is a stock pot range and when do I need one?

A stock pot range is a low-profile cooktop for big pots used for soups, stocks, boiling pasta or seafood. The MCCSR1A Single Stock Pot Cooktop has one three-ring burner at 80,000 BTU, and the MCCSR2A Double has two three-ring burners at 160,000 BTU total. Both have cast iron grates, 6 in. adjustable legs and a drip tray.

How many burners do I need on a countertop hot plate?

Choose by how many pans you run at once. Options include 2-burner 12 in. models (the MCCHP12A at 50,000 BTU total), 4-burner 24 in. models (the MCCHP24A at 100,000 BTU total) and 6-burner 36 in. models (the MCCHP36A at 25,000 BTU per burner). The M12HP, M24HP and M36HP offer the same widths with telescopic legs and drip trays.

Can I line up different countertop units side by side?

Yes. Griddles, charbroilers, hot plates and stock pot cooktops come in common widths (12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 60 in.), so you can build a cooking line on an equipment stand or refrigerated chef base. Adjustable legs help level units to the same height. Verify each unit’s depth, height and clearance requirements on the product page.

What’s included with the 24 in. Commercial Gas Range?

The M24GR 24 in. Commercial Gas Range pairs 4 burners with cast iron grates and an oven below, giving you cooktop and baking in one footprint. It includes 6 in. adjustable legs and an LP conversion kit. See the product page for oven capacity, BTU and dimensions.

How do I keep a commercial cooktop clean?

Most models include a removable drip tray or grease trap that should be emptied and washed daily. Cast iron grates can be removed for cleaning and should be dried thoroughly to prevent rust. Wipe stainless steel surfaces with a non-abrasive cleaner. Follow the manual for your specific model.
