Commercial Cooktops & Grills for Professional Kitchens

Commercial cooktops and grills are the primary heat source in any professional kitchen cooking line, delivering the sustained high-temperature output and precise control that foodservice operations demand. Gas cooktops with open burners (typically 22MJ/hr per burner) provide instant heat response and are the preferred choice for high-volume restaurant cooking. Griddles offer a large, flat cooking surface for proteins, eggs, and pancakes with even heat distribution, while char grills use radiant heat from cast-iron or steel grates to produce the searing marks and flavours associated with steakhouse and barbecue menus. Combination units integrate multiple cooking surfaces in a single 600mm or 900mm module, minimising bench space while maximising versatility. Gas ranges with built-in ovens extend the cooking line's capacity further, allowing simultaneous stovetop and oven cooking from one piece of equipment. Flame failure safety devices are standard on most commercial gas cooktops, automatically cutting gas supply if the flame is extinguished.

Our Cooktops & Grills Range

Our range includes the Blue Seal Evolution Series G504B 600mm gas range with static oven — a heavy-duty cooking line staple with 2x 20MJ/hr griddle burners and thermostatic oven control. From Cobra we stock the 600mm C6B griddle cooktop, C6C two-burner/griddle combination, and C6D four-burner open cooktops with flame failure and cast-iron burner options. Caterlite offers entry-level hot plates for lighter catering applications. We also stock Waldorf Bold series pasta cookers and specialty cooking equipment for high-volume operations. Gas models are available in natural gas and LPG configurations, and most units in the range are 600mm wide for modular cooking line compatibility.

What is the difference between a griddle and a char grill in a commercial kitchen?

A griddle has a solid, flat cooking plate (steel or cast iron) that transfers heat evenly across the entire surface — ideal for cooking eggs, pancakes, bacon, and delicate proteins. A char grill uses raised grates over a radiant heat source, allowing fat to drip away and producing the distinctive sear marks and smoky flavour associated with steaks, chicken, and burgers. Many operations use both: a griddle for breakfast service and a char grill for dinner service.
