Most restaurateurs will agree that kitchen space is a premium and it’s important to make every inch count. Many foodservice operators and chef’s alike believe that there will come a time when they have to sacrifice cooking power due to lack of space to accommodate larger restaurant cooking equipment, but this isn’t always the case. One way to add some power into the kitchen without giving up a lot of square footage is by adding in a Stock Pot Range also known as a Stock Pot Stove.
These heavy-duty countertop appliances can really give your kitchen a boost! Great for cooking up soups, stocks or sauces and many other things, the Stock Pot Range is basically a large, heavy-duty, more powerful type of a hot plate. These ranges are designed to quickly heat up to cooking temperature and to cook foods at high temperatures. A perfect example of this would be quickly heating up a variety of ingredients that just went into a sauce, then turning down the temperature and letting it simmer for a long period of time.
The burners on stock pot ranges are typically designed to work with large burner grates which will accommodate a stock pot. Additionally, these small, but mighty, countertop appliances are often outfitted with thick, strong legs to support the extra weight of a fully loaded stock pot.
Gas powered stock pot ranges usually come with a BTU range. This is indicative of the amount of power or heat generated by the stock pot. The most common BTU on a stock pot range is 90,000 BTU’s which is three times the power generated from a standard gas burner. This measurement is indicative of the speed in which your food will be prepared
You’ll find that a stock pot range is a practical investment if you need to increase the power of your kitchen.
