How to choose a commercial gas cooktop
Number of burners
Count the pots and pans you have on the heat at your busiest moment, then add one. Two burner models like the CookRite AT80G2B-C suit cafes and small kitchens or sit beside a grill. Four and six burner models are the standard for restaurants, and the CookRite AT80G8B 8 burner models suit large kitchens and caterers.
Countertop or freestanding?
CookRite cooktops come in two styles. Countertop models (ending in -C) sit on a bench, chef base or equipment stand. Freestanding models (ending in -F) come on their own base, ready to stand on the floor. If you also want an oven underneath, see our gas oven ranges.
Depth
CookRite makes a 650mm deep AT65 series for compact kitchens and an 800mm deep AT80 series for full-size cooking lines. Match the depth to the rest of your line so everything sits flush.
Build quality
CookRite cooktops are built from 304 stainless steel with heavy-duty stainless steel burners and come with a 24 month labour and 48 month parts warranty. The Fagor Kore 700 series uses 1.5mm deep-drawn AISI-304 stainless steel tops, enamelled cast iron double grates and a narrow 75mm gap between bars, so even small pans sit safely.
Natural gas or LPG
Every cooktop is available in natural gas (NG) or LPG. Tell us which when you order, as burners and jets are set up for one gas type.
Installation and safety
Commercial gas appliances must be installed by a licensed gas fitter. Most commercial cooking lines also need an exhaust canopy over the cooking equipment, so check your local council and building requirements before you install. Keep the burners and drip trays clean so flames burn evenly.

Gas cooktop FAQs
What is the difference between a cooktop and an oven range?
A cooktop has burners only. A gas oven range combines the burners with an oven underneath in one freestanding unit.
Can I convert a natural gas cooktop to LPG?
Conversions must be done by a licensed gas fitter with the correct parts. It is simplest to order the right gas type from the start.
What can I put a countertop cooktop on?
A stainless steel equipment stand, a solid bench or a refrigerated chef base designed to carry cooking equipment.
Do you deliver Australia-wide?
Yes. We deliver to every state by tailgate truck. Installation by a licensed gas fitter is required.
