Stock Pot Burners

We have a wide range of options for you to choose from, with different specifications from the best brands in the commercial kitchen industry. Our stock pot burners are designed to be freestanding, with models that range from lower profiles to the height of a standard oven. You can sort to your exact height preferences and specifications with the filters on the page. 

We also offer compact, portable models, which are ideal for catering businesses, along with larger fixed models for industrial kitchens. Depending on the volume you want to cook, we have different models with various burner sizes, along with single and dual burners. 

If you have a preference when it comes to gas type, we also stock models that are compatible with either natural gas or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Depending on what you’re cooking, you may also want to consider an option with a faucet built-in, making it easy to fill up your pots quickly if you’re preparing large volumes of pasta. 

Choosing the right model for your kitchen will depend on a few factors. No matter if you’re buying a fridge, food display or stock pot burner, you’ll always need to measure the available space you have first. Check the total footprint space you can accommodate, accounting for the fact you’ll need extra space around your burner to fit the gas installation. 

Next, consider how much you need to cook. If you’re primarily using your stock pot burner for most jobs, you may want a double burner model. If you only use it a few times a week to prepare sauces but cook most food in something like a combi oven, you may find a smaller, more compact single-burner model is adequate. Depending on what kind of gas you have available or want to install, you’ll also need to decide between LPG models and natural gas models.

If you’re still unsure, you can always contact the team at REO, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have and help you choose the best option for your kitchen.

Yes, if you find that a conventional gas cooktop isn’t providing adequate space for your largest pots or pans, stock pot burners are the next step up. Due to the size of their burners, they can accommodate pots that can enable you to make anywhere between 18 and 94 litres of food at any given time. 

Each model will vary slightly in terms of specific features, but most models will come with a few of the same benefits. First, they offer excellent stability for your large cooking pots with flat, heavy-duty trivets that are typically made of hard-wearing cast iron. The burners themselves are also larger than conventional stovetops, giving you plenty of space for large pots and pans. The main body of stock pot burners is usually stainless steel, which is not only resilient against corrosion but also makes for exceptionally easy cleaning.

Additionally, gas models will, as standard, typically come with flame failure built-in, ensuring your kitchen is as safe as possible. This functionality means that if your gas flame gets blown out somehow, the gas will automatically cut off, reducing wastage but, more importantly, preventing ambient gas in the kitchen.

Cleaning stock pot burners is straightforward, making them a convenient option for bulk cooking. You’ll want to wipe down the stainless steel body after each shift, along with checking the burners to ensure there’s no stray food debris from cooking in the gas vents. 

We stock both LPG and natural gas models, both of which are effective when it comes to energy efficiency, but in slightly different ways. Natural gas is capable of delivering more energy per unit than LPG; however, it also generates more carbon dioxide when in use than LPG. Both are still effective means of cooking, though to maximise the efficiency of your burner, we recommend cooking in bulk to make the most of your gas usage, regardless of which option you go for.

As with any appliance that generates heat, smoke or steam, you’ll want to make sure you have a commercial exhaust canopy above your stock pot burner. This also removes any ambient carbon dioxide, keeping your kitchen safe and efficient.

Stock pot burners can realistically be used for any bulk cooking you’d want to do on the stove. You can boil large volumes of water to cook in, but can also use them for sauteeing or frying in bulk as well.

Yes, gas offers reliable temperature control and accuracy, along with providing greater power, which makes it easier and more effective to quickly boil, sautee or simmer your dishes.

Regular gas burners typically have much smaller hobs and will take longer to get large pots up to a boiling temperature than a stock pot burner would. With a higher BTU output, you can get volumes anywhere up to 50 litres of more heated or boiling faster than you would on a standard gas hob.
