CASTA E7/CUPG2BB.2M Professional Gas Hob Worktop

A professional gas hob worktop built for continuous service in commercial kitchens. Two open burners deliver direct gas flame beneath pots and pans, transferring heat instantly and allowing precise temperature control by adjusting the gas flow. The flame heats the base of the cookware evenly, cutting pre-heat time and reducing energy waste compared with electric or induction methods. The sequence of use is straightforward. The operator places the pot or pan on the cast-iron grate, lights the burner manually using the control knob, and sets the desired flame height. A thermocouple safety device monitors the pilot flame; if it extinguishes, the gas supply shuts off automatically to prevent leaks. Once cooking is complete, the knob is turned to the off position and the hob is left to cool. The work surface is formed from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, raised at the edges and recessed 22 mm in the centre to collect spills and juices, keeping the surrounding area clean. Cast-iron burners are finished in chrome, while the grates are coated with acid-resistant porcelain enamel, allowing them to support heavy pots and resist the corrosive effects of food acids and cleaning agents. Control knobs are heat-resistant and designed with a cool-grip surface to remain safe to touch even after prolonged use. Adjustable legs, also in AISI 304 stainless steel, provide stability on uneven floors and raise the hob to a comfortable working height. The overall footprint is 700 mm wide, 350 mm deep and 275 mm high, fitting neatly into standard worktop runs. Each 4.5 kW burner draws gas at a rate that matches the output of a typical commercial gas supply, allowing full power to be maintained without overloading the circuit. The dual-burner configuration permits simultaneous cooking of two dishes at different temperatures, increasing throughput in a busy service period. The deep-embossed stainless-steel tray catches spills and juices directly beneath the burners so they never reach the counter. The stainless steel surface can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Porcelain-coated grates and chrome burners are removed for soaking and scrubbing, while the recessed spill tray is lifted out and emptied. Regular cleaning prevents build-up of grease and food debris, maintaining hygiene and extending the life of the hob. The hob is certified to European Community safety standards, confirming compliance with essential requirements for gas appliances in professional environments.
