#@@# Open Burner Array#@#
Four 32,000 BTU open burners and four 32,000 BTU step-up burners provide layered heat for simultaneous cooking. Chefs can assign high-intensity pans to step-up burners while using open burners for lower-intensity finishes, optimizing workflow on one footprint.
#@@# Cast Iron Components#@#
Cast iron grates and burners resist warping under sustained heat and ensure consistent heat transfer. Staff rely on stable searing surfaces that preserve product yields and reduce variability across shifts.
#@@# Stainless Steel Shell#@#
Stainless steel front, sides, and landing ledge withstand grease, steam, and frequent cleanings common in restaurants, hospitals, and schools. Maintenance crews benefit from corrosion resistance and surfaces that clean efficiently with standard detergents.
