CASTA Wok Gas Cooking Stove with Neutral Cabinet 1500x700 mm KT03150070BA

A professional wok gas cooking stove combines intense heat with precise control, designed for high-volume frying, searing and stir-frying. Gas burners beneath the worktop heat a heavy steel plate or ring; the open flame transfers energy directly to the wok, raising the temperature faster than an electric element can. The shape of the wok concentrates the heat at the base while the sloping sides keep the food moving, so each piece cooks evenly without scorching. Adjustable gas valves let the chef vary the flame from a gentle simmer to a fierce blast, matching the power to the dish and the size of the wok. A neutral cabinet below provides dry, ambient storage for ingredients and utensils, keeping them within reach without occupying additional worktop space.

The sequence begins by placing the wok on the chosen ring and opening the gas supply. The chef ignites the burner, then sets the valve to the required power level. Food is added once the ring reaches the correct temperature, judged by sight or by a brief touch of water that should dance and evaporate instantly. During cooking the chef stirs or tosses the food continuously, using the curved sides of the wok to keep it moving. After the dish is finished, the gas is turned off and the wok removed. The automatic cleaning mechanism is activated by a control on the splashback, spraying water across the surface to loosen residue before the chef wipes it down.

The cooking top is constructed from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, 2.5 mm thick, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, mechanical damage and high temperatures. A welded pipe frame beneath the steel reinforces the structure, preventing warping under repeated heating and cooling cycles. The splashback, also stainless steel and 400 mm high, shields the wall and operator from splashes and steam. A water tap with a 300 mm projection is integrated into the splashback, supplying water directly to the work surface without the need for a separate hose or sink.

Controls on the front panel include individual gas valves for each burner, an ignition button, and a control for the automatic cleaning system. Each valve adjusts the flame from low to high, allowing the chef to select the power level that matches the burner type and the cooking task. The cleaning control activates a spray bar that runs the length of the splashback, rinsing the surface with water to remove food particles and grease.

The overall dimensions of 1500 mm wide, 700 mm deep and 850 mm high determine the space the unit occupies on the worktop and the clearance needed around it. The 1500 mm width accommodates multiple burners side by side, allowing several dishes to be prepared simultaneously. The 700 mm depth leaves room for the wok and the chef's movements without encroaching on the aisle behind. The 850 mm height positions the cooking surface at a comfortable working level for most operators, reducing strain during long shifts.

Cleaning is simplified by the automatic spray system, which loosens residue before manual wiping. The stainless steel surface can be scrubbed with non-abrasive pads and commercial degreasers, while the welded joints prevent food and water from seeping into crevices. The splashback and tap should be wiped daily to prevent mineral deposits from building up, and the gas burners checked periodically for blockages that could affect the flame.

The model is available in a 1800/700/850 mm size, offering additional width for kitchens that require more burners or larger work surfaces. Burner types range from 3.0 kW to 21.0 kW, allowing the stove to be configured for delicate sauces, rapid boiling or high-heat stir-frying. Each burner type corresponds to a specific wok ring diameter, ensuring the flame is concentrated where the wok sits.

The unit is categorised as a professional wok gas cooking stove with integrated neutral cabinet, suitable for commercial kitchens, restaurants and catering operations that specialise in Asian cuisine or high-volume frying.
