Commercial Gas Woks

No two restaurants are the same, which is why we offer a broad range of wok models to suit your unique needs. First, you can choose the number of burners you want. We offer single, double and triple burners, allowing you to cook one thing at a time or several unique dishes at the same time.

Along with multiple setup options, you can also choose the gas format you prefer, with options compatible with either LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) or natural gas.

The next choice you’ll need to consider in our range is whether you want additional features like waterless Commercial Gas Woks or chimney burners. Waterless Commercial Gas Woks are an innovative design that doesn’t require water to cook with, while chimney burners heat the wok itself incredibly evenly, delivering exceptional cooking results.

We stock a multitude of options when it comes to wok burners, with support at your disposal to help you choose the best model for your kitchen.

There are several things to consider when you’re looking for the best commercial wok burner for your kitchen. The first consideration is what kind of gas you have at your disposal. We offer models compatible with both LPG and natural gas, helping you narrow down your choices immediately. If you already have a gas cooktop, for example, it’s far easier to get set up with a wok.

Next, you’ll need to look at the space you have available. Check the footprint of the models you’re interested in and ensure you’re accounting for extra space around the wok burner itself, along with room for the gas connection.

If you have an abundance of space, you can feasibly choose any model that’s compatible with your gas type. You’ll also want to factor in the volume of food you want to be able to prepare at any one time. If fried dishes are the main menu item for you, having a larger commercial wok burner may be the best option. For high-capacity restaurants or those with fast turnover, a double or triple wok burner gives you the ability to cook multiple unique dishes at any one time.

Absolutely. The key feature of a commercial wok burner is that it can deliver higher temperatures than conventional oven ranges can. They’re also specially designed to accommodate Commercial Gas Woks, ensuring more even heat distribution than conventional gas stoves for excellent cooking. Generally speaking, they can range anywhere up to 300℃ and above, delivering the high heat needed for everyone’s favourite Asian meals and dishes.

Wok burners also have incredibly accurate temperature control. This means they’re ideal for making stir-fries but are perfect for leftover rice from the rice cooker to make fried rice and can even be used for deep frying. Their wide range of temperatures makes them an exceptionally versatile appliance.

Commercial wok burners are made from hard-wearing materials that can handle frequent use. However, to maintain your burner and get the best return on investment, there is some ongoing maintenance you should do. First, you’ll want to ensure you’re keeping it clean between each shift. Check for any spilled food near the burners themselves and clean any oil or food debris to ensure it works properly. We also recommend checking the safety features like flame failure are properly running, along with checking over and servicing the burners and gas connection where needed.

Due to the heat that industrial Commercial Gas Woks can generate, they can be more energy-intensive to run than conventional options like induction stovetops. However, the new features of modern wok burners help reduce their energy consumption. Waterless Commercial Gas Woks, which we stock a high number of, remove the need for water consumption entirely which can help keep running costs. Equally, chimney models make for more even heat dispersal, while also preventing ambient heat loss, resulting in better cooking times and lower gas consumption.

As with any appliance that generates heat, you’ll want certain safety features built in. We recommend checking for flame failure protection, which shuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out, preventing fire hazards and potentially saving you on wasted gas. It’s also worth considering where you place your wok burner, ensuring that it’s properly ventilated and on a stable footing to prevent any movement or tipping during use.

While electric stoves have plenty of benefits, if you’re looking to achieve perfectly stir-fried vegetables and meat in a wok, gas delivers a superior cooking experience. Gas, combined with the design of a commercial wok burner, delivers intense heat with precise control. Generally speaking, electric stoves heat up slightly faster than gas, but wok burners are more effective than conventional stovetops, making them the best choice for Asian cuisine. Their features also help to ensure even heat distribution for perfectly cooked meals.

Gas appliances require specialist care, which is why at Restaurant Equipment Online, we’ve partnered with appliance experts who can take care of the installation for you. You can enquire online when you’ve ordered your wok burner, making it easy to get everything up and running.
