CASTA 4-Burner Gas Hob with Pressed Stainless Steel Worktop

A gas hob built for continuous service in a professional kitchen, where open flames must respond instantly to the chef's demand. Four cast-iron burners fire beneath porcelain-enamelled grates, each pair fed by a dedicated gas line. The hob heats pans directly, transferring energy without the lag of an electric element or the unevenness of a ceramic surface. Because the flame is visible and adjustable from zero to full, the operator can sear, simmer or hold at temperature with the same burner, simply by turning the knob. A thermocouple on each burner cuts the gas if the flame fails, while the pilot remains exposed for manual re-lighting, giving the chef full control over ignition and shut-down. The sequence begins by placing a pan on the porcelain-coated grate above the chosen burner. The control knob is pressed and turned to the spark position, then held until the pilot ignites. Once the flame is established, the knob is released and turned further to set the desired intensity. During cooking, the flame can be adjusted up or down without re-igniting. When the pan is removed, the knob is turned back to the off position, extinguishing the flame but leaving the pilot lit for the next use. The worktop is a single sheet of pressed AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, its surface raised at the edges to form a shallow trough that catches spills and directs them to a drain point. This construction keeps liquids off the work surface and simplifies cleaning between services. The grates are cast iron with a porcelain enamel finish that resists both high heat and acidic foods, while the burners themselves are chrome-plated for corrosion resistance. Handles and control knobs are made from a heat-resistant material that remains cool to the touch even after prolonged use, reducing the risk of burns during adjustment. Four legs of the same AISI 304 stainless steel support the hob, each threaded for height adjustment. This allows the unit to be levelled on uneven floors or matched to the height of adjacent worktops, ensuring a continuous work surface across the kitchen. The 700 mm width and depth fit standard commercial worktop modules, while the 305 mm height leaves clearance for under-counter storage or a shelf. The total gas load of 18 kW requires a dedicated supply line capable of delivering the necessary pressure and volume. The hob is certified to European safety and quality standards, confirming its suitability for commercial environments where reliability and compliance are mandatory. The deep-pressed stainless-steel tray catches every spill and splatter so you can wipe the hob down in one stroke without chasing liquids across the counter. The pressed stainless steel worktop can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent, while the trough is designed to be rinsed without disassembly. Porcelain-coated grates and chrome-plated burners resist staining and can be scrubbed with a non-abrasive pad. The heat-resistant knobs and handles are wiped clean without risk of melting or warping. Legs are adjusted with a spanner and require no regular maintenance beyond occasional tightening to prevent loosening from vibration.
