CASTA LADYQ 900 WOK Gas Stove for Professional Kitchens

A gas stove built for the intense heat and rapid response of WOK cooking, where a powerful vertical flame meets a reinforced worktop to transfer energy directly into the pan.

The burner operates on the atmospheric principle: gas is mixed with air at the nozzle and ignited to produce a tall, focused flame that wraps around the curved base of a WOK. This design concentrates heat where the pan is deepest, allowing the chef to sear, stir-fry or flash-fry at the high temperatures that keep ingredients crisp and flavours intact. The vertical flame also reduces heat loss to the surrounding air, so the energy goes into the food rather than warming the kitchen.

To use the stove, the operator places a WOK on the reinforced cooking surface, adjusts the gas valve to the desired flame height, and ignites the burner manually. The pilot light remains lit to monitor the flame; if it extinguishes, the safety valve cuts the gas supply automatically. Removable drip trays beneath the burner catch fats and liquids, preventing flare-ups and keeping the worktop clean. When cooking is complete, the burner and trays lift out for thorough cleaning.

The entire unit is constructed from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of wiping down after service. The cooking surface is 2.0 mm thick, reinforced to withstand the repeated thermal shocks of high-temperature cooking. Handles and control knobs are covered in heat-resistant material that stays cool to the touch, even when the burner is at full output. Adjustable stainless-steel legs allow the stove to be levelled on uneven floors or matched to the height of adjacent worktops.

A gas rating of 14 kW indicates the load the stove places on the supply: it requires a dedicated gas line capable of delivering the specified flow rate without pressure drop. The 400 mm depth and 900 mm width set the footprint on the kitchen floor, allowing it to be positioned between other equipment or against a wall. The 275 mm height, excluding legs, keeps the cooking surface at a comfortable working level for standing chefs.

Cleaning follows from the removable parts: the burner and drip trays lift out for washing in a sink or dishwasher, while the stainless-steel surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The Scotch Brite finish reduces the visibility of scratches and fingerprints, so the stove maintains a professional appearance with minimal upkeep.

Burners of 9.5 kW and 14.0 kW with a 175 mm diameter are available on request, allowing the stove to be tailored to different cooking volumes or menu requirements.
