Westlake RGR24 24 In. Gas Restaurant Range, 4 Open Burners, Oven, 151,000 BTU

The Westlake RGR24 is a 24 in. wide natural gas restaurant range with four 30,000 BTU/hr open burners over a single oven, 151,000 BTU/hr in all. With that much flame on every burner, a pot of pasta water comes to a boil and a sauté pan recovers between orders without your cook waiting on the heat, while the oven below roasts or bakes anywhere from 250 °F to 550 °F. It fits a short cook line in a cafe, a small restaurant, or a concession kitchen where one cook works all four burners. It is a 24 in. range with one oven, so it will not carry a high-volume line that needs more pans on the fire at once. It is set up for natural gas, measures 24 in. wide by 32.6 in. deep by 59.8 in. tall with its back-riser, and needs a gas line that can deliver the full 151,000 BTU/hr.

Open Top Burners Rated 30,000 BTU/hr Each

Four open top burners each put out 30,000 BTU/hr. An open burner sends its flame straight to the pan bottom, unlike a flat plate that has to heat up first, so you get fast response when you turn a burner up for a sear or down for a simmer. With four of them you can hold a sauce on one burner and boil hard on the next.

12 In. by 12 In. Cast Grates and Protected Pilots

Heavy duty cast grates measure 12 in. by 12 in. and lift off easily, so you can carry them to the sink at closing. The pilots are stainless steel for durability, and a coved cover over each pilot burner keeps a boil-over from clogging it. A pot that foams over makes a mess, but it does not put your burner out of service mid-shift.

Oven with a 31,000 BTU/hr U-Shape Burner

The oven has its own 31,000 BTU/hr U-shape burner. A U-shape burner runs flame down both sides of the oven floor rather than along one straight line, which spreads the heat more evenly under your pans. The thermostat adjusts from 250 °F for slow braises to 550 °F for a hard roast, and two oven racks sit in any of four rack positions so you can set the spacing to what you are cooking.

MIG Welded Frame with Stainless Steel Front

The frame is fully MIG welded for stability, so the range stays square and steady under heavy pots. The front and the back-riser are stainless steel, the surfaces that take splatter and get wiped down every night. The sides are galvanized, a practical finish for panels that usually sit against the equipment beside them.

Pull Out Crumb Tray with Rounded Edges

A pull out crumb tray under the burners catches spills and debris. Its rounded edges are there to prevent heat transfer, so the tray is easier to handle when you slide it out to empty it. Casters are an option for this range if you want to roll it out to clean behind the line.
