Stock Pot Range

A single burner works well if you make stock or sauces occasionally or in smaller batches. If you are running multiple large pots at the same time, a double burner makes prep faster and keeps things moving.

Higher BTU output helps liquids come to a boil faster and stay hot during long cooks. Kitchens that make soup, sauces, or stock daily usually choose higher BTU models to save time during prep.

Natural gas models are common in permanent kitchen setups with gas lines. Liquid propane works better in locations without gas access or where flexibility is needed. The right choice depends on what fuel your kitchen can support.

Stock pot ranges take up less space than full-size ranges, but they still need room for ventilation and safe movement around large pots. Plan space for both the unit and the way staff will handle heavy cookware.

No. Stock pot ranges are built for boiling and simmering only. They work best as a support unit alongside a standard range, not as a replacement.

Yes. Stock pot ranges are commonly used in high-volume kitchens that cook soups, sauces, or boiled foods in bulk. Double burner models with higher BTU output are a better fit for these environments.

Many commercial kitchens use stock pot ranges from brands like  Vulcan, Atosa, Imperial, Omcan, and Zanduco. These brands are built for heavy-duty boiling and daily commercial use.
