Gas Hobs and Boiling Tops

The Lincat Silverlink 600 HT9 is a six-burner gas boiling top designed for the cooking line of a working commercial kitchen. It sits within Lincat's Silverlink 600 range, which is built around a consistent 600mm depth footprint, making it straightforward to combine with other units from the same series into a cohesive cooking suite. Each burner is fitted with a flame failure device that cuts the gas supply automatically if a flame is extinguished — a standard safety requirement in any professional kitchen environment.

In a busy service, a boiling top earns its place through consistency and flexibility. Six independently controlled burners allow a section to run sauces, stocks, bain-marie work, and pasta stations simultaneously without compromise. Gas responds immediately to heat adjustment, which matters when conditions change quickly mid-service. The low-level flue arrangement keeps the working surface clear and accommodates tall stockpots without obstruction — a practical consideration during large-batch preparation.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the HT9 is built with cleaning and durability in mind:

• Vitreous enamelled cast iron pan supports are robust and easy to lift out for cleaning
• Fully pressed and sealed hob top prevents spillages from working into joints or seams
• Compatible with both natural gas and LPG, providing flexibility across different site supplies
• Consistent 600mm depth integrates cleanly into a Silverlink suite alongside ovens, grills, and other cooking sections

Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the gas supply should be of sufficient capacity to handle six burners running simultaneously under load. Extraction above the cooking line should be sized accordingly — this is worth confirming at the design stage rather than after installation. The unit is floor-standing and suitable for placement on a compatible stand; if it is joining an existing suite, surface height alignment should be confirmed beforehand.

The HT9 is well suited to mid-size restaurants, pub kitchens, school catering operations, and contract catering environments where a reliable, high-output boiling section is needed as part of a broader cooking line. For very high-volume sites with demanding throughput requirements, a heavier-duty configuration may be worth considering. Where kitchen space is more limited, a four-burner alternative may be a more proportionate fit.

If you are planning a new cooking suite or replacing an existing boiling top and want to talk through how the HT9 works within your layout and service pattern, the team is glad to help you think it through.

The Parry AG4H is a four-burner gas hob designed for commercial catering use. It runs on natural gas or LPG — supplied with a conversion kit and set to LPG as standard — and connects via a standard ¾ BSP fitting. The unit can be positioned as a countertop piece or mounted on a separate floor stand, which gives a useful degree of flexibility when fitting it into an existing kitchen layout.

In service, this type of hob works well where consistent, controllable heat across four burners is the priority. Variable controls allow chefs to manage different cooking tasks simultaneously without interference between stations, and the flame failure device cuts the gas supply automatically if a burner extinguishes — a standard safety requirement in commercial environments. The enamelled pan supports are robust enough for daily use and straightforward to lift out for cleaning at the end of service.

Operators commonly find this unit well suited to:

• Smaller restaurant, café, or bistro kitchens needing a practical gas cooking solution
• Mobile catering setups where LPG is the primary fuel source
• Supplementary hob capacity during a kitchen refurbishment or phased fit-out
• Sites where a natural gas supply is already in place and conversion is straightforward

Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and adequate ventilation in line with current regulations is required. If the unit is to sit on an existing worksurface rather than a dedicated stand, it is worth confirming that the surface can bear the load before committing to a position.

This unit is best suited to lower- to mid-volume operations. Kitchens running continuous high-volume service across long shifts may find a heavier-duty range or higher-output hob a more practical long-term investment. If you are weighing up whether the AG4H is the right fit for your kitchen, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Parry AG6H is a six-burner gas hob unit built for professional kitchen use. Constructed in stainless steel with cast enamelled pan supports, it provides a straightforward, robust cooking platform capable of running multiple pots and pans simultaneously at different heat levels. The unit operates on both natural gas and LPG — it is supplied set to LPG as standard and includes a conversion kit, which makes it a practical option for sites where mains gas is unavailable or supply arrangements may change over time.

In a working kitchen, independent flame control across all six burners gives the section chef genuine flexibility during service. The heat range on each burner is broad enough to hold a sauce at a controlled simmer while bringing a large stock pot to the boil on an adjacent ring. A flame failure device is fitted to every burner, cutting the gas supply automatically if a flame extinguishes — an important safety provision in a busy service environment where conditions can change quickly.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the AG6H offers several practical advantages:

• Six independently controlled burners for flexible simultaneous cooking
• Flame failure device on each burner for safe, compliant operation
• Cast enamelled pan supports that are removable and straightforward to clean down
• Natural gas and LPG compatibility with conversion kit included
• Suitable for worktop placement or use with a separately sourced floor stand

Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The unit requires a gas supply with a ¾ BSP connection. Neither a floor stand nor an extraction canopy is included — a compliant overhead extraction canopy is a regulatory requirement for any gas cooking equipment in a commercial kitchen and must be in place before the unit is put into service. Allow adequate clearance above and around the unit in line with current commercial ventilation guidelines.

The AG6H is well suited to small and medium-sized professional kitchens, pub and restaurant operations with moderate hob demand, and mobile or event catering setups where LPG compatibility is a practical requirement. For kitchens running sustained heavy hob output across long service periods or high-volume covers, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or higher-output unit would better match the throughput. The catalogue includes options at different capacity levels for exactly that reason.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout, gas supply, or expected service volume, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

The Parry AG2H is a compact two-burner gas hob designed for operators who need a reliable, straightforward cooking platform in a modest footprint. It leaves the factory set up for LPG and includes a conversion kit for natural gas, meaning it can be configured to whichever supply is available on site without ordering additional parts — a practical advantage where the gas supply type may vary or where the unit is likely to move between locations.

In day-to-day service this hob is most commonly found in mobile catering units, market stalls, event kitchens, and smaller back-of-house setups where simplicity and dependability matter more than sustained high throughput. Independent burner controls allow operators to hold a gentle simmer on one ring while running a rolling boil on the other, and each burner is fitted with a flame failure device that shuts off the gas if the flame extinguishes unexpectedly — a useful safety feature in any environment, and particularly relevant outdoors or in mobile settings where draughts are a consideration.

• Operates on LPG as standard, converts to natural gas using the included kit
• Flame failure device on each burner supports day-to-day gas safety compliance
• Removable enamelled pan supports make cleaning between services straightforward
• Suitable for tabletop use or mounting on a compatible floor stand
• 3/4 BSP gas connection is compatible with standard commercial flexible hose fittings

Installation is relatively uncomplicated, but confirming gas supply type and available pressure before specifying is always worthwhile. In a fixed kitchen, adequate ventilation above the hob is required under current gas safety regulations. For mobile or vehicle-based installations, the work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer in accordance with the relevant mobile catering standards. The compact footprint is genuinely useful in tight spaces, though it does mean the unit is best suited to lighter-volume service rather than a busy main cooking line.

This hob works well for sole traders, mobile caterers, small café operations, or as a supplementary burner alongside existing equipment in a larger kitchen. It is not intended as a primary cooking line where sustained high-volume throughput is expected — for those environments, a heavier-duty multi-burner range would be a more appropriate choice.

If you want to talk through gas supply compatibility, ventilation requirements, or whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume, the team is glad to help.

The Lincat Silverlink 600 HT3 is a two-burner gas boiling top designed for countertop installation or placement on a compatible equipment stand. It provides direct flame cooking across two positions simultaneously and sits within Lincat's long-established Silverlink 600 series — a range that has been a consistent presence in UK commercial kitchens for many years. Both burners are fitted with flame failure devices, which cut the gas supply automatically if the flame is extinguished, meeting the safety standards expected in any working kitchen environment.

Gas burners respond immediately to heat adjustments, which is a practical advantage during a live service when temperatures need changing quickly. The low-profile flue arrangement keeps the working height manageable and allows tall stockpots and large saucepans to sit on the hob without difficulty — particularly useful in kitchens producing soups, stocks, or sauces in volume. The unit is built to handle sustained use through continuous service, making it a reliable workhorse rather than a light-duty addition.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the HT3 is straightforward to work with:

• Vitreous enamelled cast iron pan supports are robust and removable for thorough cleaning after service
• Fully pressed and sealed hob top contains spillages and prevents them tracking into the unit
• Compatible with both natural gas and LPG, giving flexibility where mains gas is not available

Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Adequate overhead extraction or a ventilation canopy above the cooking line is required, as with any gas appliance. If your site operates on LPG rather than natural gas, confirm the required configuration at the point of order so any conversion work can be arranged before the unit is commissioned.

The HT3 is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, and catering units — where two burners meets daily demand and bench space is at a premium. It also works well as a supplementary boiling section alongside an existing range. For kitchens running a heavier service or needing additional burners working simultaneously, a higher-capacity model from the same series would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether two burners will cover your service requirements, or have questions about gas type or installation, the team is glad to talk it through before you order.

The Imperial CIHPA-4-24 is a four ring gas hotplate designed for continuous use in professional kitchen environments. Each burner uses Imperial's PyroCentric design, which produces two concentric rings of flame to spread heat more evenly across the base of the pan — a practical advantage when different pan sizes are in use simultaneously across the same appliance during a busy service.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the dual-ring burner heads reduce the need to reposition pans to find an even heat source, and the smooth, unobstructed grate layout allows pots to be moved between rings without lifting. The low simmer setting is genuinely useful during service, allowing sauces and stocks to be held at temperature alongside high-heat cooking on adjacent rings, without the scorching risk that comes with keeping gas too high.

The unit is built with the demands of daily kitchen use in mind:

• PyroCentric dual-ring burner heads distribute heat evenly across varying pan sizes
• Cast iron burner heads are removable and resistant to clogging
• Grates lift off in sections for straightforward cleaning after service
• Anti-clogging shield protects pilots from grease and debris build-up
• Stainless steel construction with welded seams and no exposed screws reduces maintenance points

This is a gas appliance and must be installed and connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Heavy-duty stainless steel legs with adjustable feet allow levelling on uneven floors, and the landing ledge provides useful additional working surface alongside the cooking area. Before installation, operators should confirm available gas supply capacity and floor space, particularly where this unit will sit within an existing battery of cooking equipment.

The CIHPA-4-24 is well suited to restaurants, pub kitchens, and catering operations running moderate to high covers where reliable, consistent gas output across four rings is needed throughout service. For sites with greater throughput demands or higher ring counts required, heavier-duty options are available within the range.

If you'd like guidance on whether this hotplate is the right fit for your gas supply setup and service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

6kW. LPG

The Fagor 900 Series six-burner countertop gas hob is a high-output cooking platform designed for commercial kitchens where sustained heat and reliable performance across multiple burners are a daily requirement. Each of the six burners delivers 10.2kW, giving a combined output of 50.2kW — a level of power that supports serious cooking at pace, whether that means rapid reduction, high-heat wok-style cooking, or keeping multiple pans at temperature simultaneously during a busy service.

In practice, this hob holds up well under the kind of continuous demand that a professional kitchen places on its range. The double crown burner design distributes heat more evenly than a single ring, reducing the likelihood of hot spots that can affect cooking consistency. Each burner is independently controlled via front-mounted dials, which means chefs can adjust individual stations without interrupting the others — a practical detail that matters when the pass is busy.

From an operational standpoint, the key day-to-day advantages are:

• High per-burner output supports rapid temperature recovery between cooking batches
• Independent burner control allows multiple dishes to be managed simultaneously
• Even heat distribution from the double crown burner reduces inconsistent cooking results
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and resists the wear of a working kitchen
• Countertop format offers flexibility over where the unit sits within the kitchen layout

At 1200mm wide and weighing 123kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment and will need a stable, load-bearing surface or a suitable fabricated stand. As a countertop unit it is not freestanding in the traditional sense, so installation planning should account for support, gas connection, and adequate ventilation above. It runs on natural gas, so a certified gas engineer will need to complete the connection and commissioning — this is a legal requirement in the UK regardless of kitchen type. Overhead extraction appropriate to the combined burner output will also need to be in place before the unit goes into service.

This model is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens — restaurant operations, hotel kitchens, contract catering environments, and similar sites where multiple burners are in active use across a service. For smaller operations where two or three burners would typically suffice, a lower-output model in the same range may represent a more proportionate choice. Equally, very high-volume sites running extended services may want to consider a heavier-duty configuration.

If you'd like to talk through whether this hob fits your kitchen layout and service requirements before placing an order, our team is happy to help.

The Fagor 900 Series six-burner countertop gas hob is a heavy-duty cooking range designed for busy commercial kitchens where sustained, high-output cooking is a daily requirement. It sits on a counter or fabricated stand rather than being a freestanding range, making it a practical choice where bench-top flexibility or a modular cooking suite layout is preferred. Each of the six burners operates independently, and together they deliver a combined output of 41.95kW — enough firepower to run multiple cooking processes simultaneously without compromising heat on any individual station.

In service, the hob holds up well under the kind of continuous demand that a busy lunch or dinner service places on equipment. The double-crown burner design helps distribute heat more evenly across the base of the pan, which reduces the risk of hot spots and gives chefs more consistent control over cooking temperatures. Independent burner regulation means each hob position can be tuned to suit whatever is on it — from a rapid boil to a gentle simmer — without affecting the others.

From an operational standpoint, the key day-to-day advantages are straightforward:

• Six independently controlled burners allow multiple cooking tasks to run in parallel
• High combined output supports rapid temperature recovery between cooking cycles
• Double-crown burner heads improve heat distribution and reduce uneven cooking
• Stainless steel construction is robust and straightforward to clean down between service periods
• Front-mounted controls keep adjustments accessible without reaching over hot pans

This is a natural gas unit. Before installation, confirm your site has an adequate natural gas supply and that a Gas Safe registered engineer will be carrying out the connection — this is a legal requirement in the UK. At 123kg, the hob is substantial, so ensure the counter or stand beneath it is rated to carry the load. The 1200mm width means it will occupy a significant portion of a standard cooking line; measure your available run carefully and account for clearance to adjacent equipment and any extraction canopy requirements above.

The 900 Series hob is well suited to mid-to-high-volume operations — restaurant kitchens, hotel banqueting, pub kitchens, and contract catering environments where multiple burners are in near-constant use. It is not the right fit for very low-throughput sites where a smaller four-burner unit would be more economical to run. Equally, for extremely high-volume or multi-brigade operations, a wider or higher-output configuration may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your cooking line or want to discuss how it integrates with the rest of your kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Fagor 900 Series four-burner countertop gas hob is a heavy-duty cooking platform built around raw heat output. Each of the four burners delivers 10.2kW, giving a combined output of 40.8kW — a specification that places this firmly in the extra high power category and makes it a practical choice where rapid temperature response and sustained high heat are operational requirements rather than a preference.

In a busy kitchen environment, recovery speed matters. When cold pans hit a hot burner mid-service or stocks are brought to the boil repeatedly across a shift, a hob in this output range handles the load without the kind of heat drop that slows a pass down. The double crown burner design distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan, which reduces the risk of hot spots and supports more consistent cooking results — a practical advantage when the same burner is being used for sauces, sautéing, and rapid boiling across a single service.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the hob is straightforward to work with:

• Independent front-mounted controls give individual regulation of each burner without interrupting adjacent zones
• The stainless steel construction is durable under commercial use and cleans down efficiently between services
• Countertop format allows placement on an existing fabricated bench or sturdy equipment stand
• Natural gas operation keeps running costs predictable in kitchens already connected to mains gas
• The 900 Series build standard supports consistent performance across extended operating periods

As a countertop unit, installation requires a stable, weight-rated surface capable of supporting 61kg. The hob must be installed with appropriate clearances and connected to a natural gas supply by a Gas Safe registered engineer — this is a legal requirement, not optional. Adequate overhead ventilation is essential given the combined output; existing canopy capacity should be reviewed before installation to confirm it is sufficient for 40.8kW of gas combustion. This unit is supplied for natural gas; LPG conversion availability should be confirmed prior to ordering if that is your supply.

This hob is well suited to mid-sized to busy commercial kitchens where throughput demands high sustained heat — restaurant ranges, hotel banqueting operations, and contract catering environments where multiple large-volume tasks run simultaneously. For smaller operations where this output level would exceed day-to-day requirements, a lower-output model may be a more appropriate fit. Equally, very high-volume sites running continuous double shifts may benefit from a floor-standing range format with additional burner capacity.

If you'd like to talk through whether this output level is the right match for your kitchen layout and service volume, our team is happy to work through it with you before you commit.

The Fagor 900 Series four-burner countertop gas hob is a high-output cooking platform designed for commercial kitchens where sustained heat and consistent burner performance are a daily requirement. Running on natural gas with a combined output of 28.7kW across four burners, it is built for the kind of throughput that a busy service demands — not occasional use.

Each burner uses a double crown design, which distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan than a conventional single-ring burner. In practice, this reduces the likelihood of hot spots and gives the cook more reliable temperature control across the cooking surface. With each burner independently regulated via front-mounted controls, the hob suits kitchens running several dishes simultaneously at different heat levels.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this unit are straightforward:

• High aggregate output supports rapid searing, wok-style cooking, and simultaneous multi-pan service
• Independent burner control helps kitchen staff manage different cooking stages without interference between stations
• Even heat distribution through the double crown burners reduces the need for constant repositioning of cookware
• Stainless steel construction throughout makes daily cleaning manageable and holds up well under heavy service conditions
• Countertop format allows flexible positioning on existing workbench runs without requiring floor space or a full suite installation

As a countertop unit, it requires a stable, heat-resistant surface and adequate clearance above and to the sides for safe operation. Natural gas connection must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the installation should comply with current ventilation requirements — typically a suitable extraction canopy overhead. At 61kg, two-person handling is advisable during positioning.

This hob is well suited to small to medium commercial kitchens, dark kitchens, and catering operations where bench-mounted cooking flexibility is a priority. For very high-volume operations running multiple hobs continuously, a heavier-duty floor-standing range within the 900 Series may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to anything.

The Fagor 900 Series countertop gas hob is a four-burner natural gas unit delivering 21kW of total cooking power across independently controlled burners. It is designed to sit on an existing counter or fabricated stand, making it a practical choice where floor space is limited or where operators want to supplement an existing cooking suite without committing to a full range. The 900 Series sits within Fagor's heavier-duty commercial range, built to handle the demands of professional service rather than light-duty use.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistent heat output and burner responsiveness matter considerably. Each burner uses a double crown design that distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan, reducing the risk of hot spots that can affect cooking quality during a fast-paced service. The independent front-mounted controls allow each burner to be set precisely, so chefs can hold sauces at a low simmer on one ring while running another at full power simultaneously — a practical requirement in most professional kitchens.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this unit include:

• High total output supports multiple cooking tasks running concurrently
• Double crown burners reduce uneven heat distribution across cookware
• Independent burner controls give precise regulation during varied service demands
• Stainless steel construction is robust under daily commercial use and straightforward to clean down
• Countertop format allows flexible positioning within an existing kitchen layout

As a countertop unit, installation requires a stable, heat-resistant surface capable of supporting the unit's 61kg weight. Natural gas connection must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and adequate ventilation or extraction above the cooking position is a requirement under commercial kitchen regulations. The unit's 800mm width means it fits comfortably within most standard kitchen configurations, though you should confirm your extraction canopy coverage before positioning.

This hob is well suited to small to medium-sized operations — cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, or catering units — where consistent output across four burners covers the majority of cooking requirements. For higher-volume sites running extended or multiple sittings, a larger cooking suite with additional burners or a floor-standing model may be a more appropriate long-term investment.

If you're unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen setup or service volume, we're happy to talk it through before you commit to anything.

The Fagor 900 Series two-burner countertop gas hob is a heavy-duty cooking station designed for commercial kitchens where high heat output is a genuine operational requirement. Each of the two burners delivers 10.2kW, giving a combined output of 20.4kW across a compact countertop footprint. This positions it firmly in the extra-high-power bracket, suited to demanding cooking tasks such as wok cookery, rapid searing, or high-volume sauce and stock work.

In a busy kitchen environment, the ability to reach and sustain high temperatures quickly makes a measurable difference to throughput. Both burners use a double crown design that distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan, reducing the risk of hot spots and giving the chef greater control during service. Each burner is regulated independently via front-mounted controls, which keeps operation straightforward even under pressure.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages of this unit include:

• High output per burner supports rapid temperature recovery between cooking cycles
• Double crown burner design improves heat distribution and reduces uneven cooking
• Independent burner controls allow different cooking temperatures simultaneously
• Stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to clean down after service
• Countertop format fits over existing prep or equipment runs without floor space commitment

Being a countertop unit, it does require a stable, heat-resistant surface and adequate clearance above for ventilation purposes. As a gas appliance, a suitable gas supply and professional installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer are both prerequisites. The unit runs on natural gas — LPG suitability should be confirmed before ordering. At 48kg, it is not a light piece of kit, so bench loading capacity is worth checking prior to installation.

This hob is well suited to mid-sized restaurant, bistro, or street food operations where two very high-power burners are sufficient for the menu. For kitchens needing more burner positions or a greater total output, a larger model from the same series or a full floor-standing range may be worth considering. Equally, for sites where this level of power exceeds what is regularly needed, a standard-output hob from the 900 Series range may be a more appropriate fit.

If you are unsure whether this unit is sized correctly for your service volume or want to talk through your gas supply requirements before committing, the team is happy to help work through it with you.

The Fagor 900 Series two-burner countertop gas hob is a high-output unit built for commercial kitchens where consistent, intense heat is a daily requirement. Running on natural gas and delivering 18.2kW across two burners, it sits within Fagor's heavy-duty 900 Series range — a line designed around the demands of professional kitchen environments rather than light or occasional use.

Each burner uses a double crown design, which distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan than a single-ring burner. In practice, this reduces the risk of hot spots during sautéing or sauce work, and gives operators more control when working at high output. The front-mounted control dials regulate each burner independently, which is the standard arrangement most chefs will be accustomed to.

For a countertop unit, the construction is reassuringly solid. The stainless steel body handles the rigours of a busy service environment and is straightforward to wipe down between covers. Key operational advantages include:

• High heat output suited to fast searing, wok-style cooking, and high-volume sauté work
• Even heat distribution from the double crown burners reduces inconsistency across the pan base
• Independent burner control allows different cooking tasks to run simultaneously at different intensities
• Countertop format offers flexibility for kitchens adding supplementary cooking capacity
• Stainless steel construction supports straightforward daily cleaning routines

As a countertop unit, it requires a stable, heat-resistant surface and adequate overhead clearance for ventilation. Connection to a natural gas supply will require installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and extraction provisions should be confirmed before installation. At 48kg, positioning should be planned in advance. This is not a unit intended for a single-section kitchen running modest covers — it is sized and specified for environments where sustained high heat output is genuinely needed.

This hob is well suited to mid-sized restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and catering establishments where two high-power burner positions are required without the footprint of a full range. Where a kitchen needs four or six burner positions, or requires an integrated oven beneath, other configurations in the range are worth considering. Equally, lower-volume operations may find a lighter-duty unit more appropriate for their needs.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout and service style, the team is happy to help.

The Lincat Silverlink 600 HT6 is a four-burner gas boiling top built specifically for hob-based cooking in commercial kitchen environments. Unlike a range cooker, it has no integrated oven beneath — the entire unit is dedicated to the cooking surface. That focus makes it a practical choice where counter-level hob work is the priority and every square metre of floor space needs to justify itself.

Under service conditions the HT6 performs consistently. Gas burners respond quickly to heat adjustments, which matters when operators are managing multiple pans at different stages simultaneously. The low-level flue design keeps the working height clear, so large stock pots and tall vessels sit securely without obstruction — a detail that proves its worth in kitchens where stocks, soups, or bulk sauces are a regular part of the operation.

From a day-to-day standpoint the HT6 is built with working kitchens in mind:

• Flame failure device on each burner provides a reliable safety layer during busy service
• Vitreous enamelled cast iron pan supports are robust and removable for cleaning
• Fully pressed and sealed hob top limits spillage ingress and reduces deep-clean time
• Compatible with both natural gas and LPG, giving flexibility at the installation stage
• Low-level flue preserves usable cooking height for large pots and vessels

Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The unit requires connection to either a natural gas or LPG supply and should sit beneath a suitable extraction canopy or within a properly ventilated kitchen system. The 600mm-depth Silverlink footprint fits standard commercial suite dimensions, though space and plinth requirements are worth confirming before ordering — particularly where the HT6 is being placed alongside other Silverlink equipment in a suite arrangement.

This boiling top is well suited to cafés, bistros, pub kitchens, and small to medium-sized restaurant operations where a dependable gas hob is needed as a primary or supplementary cooking station. For higher-volume sites running continuous hob demand across extended service periods, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or higher-output unit would be a better match for the workload.

If you are putting together a suite or want to sense-check whether the HT6 fits your kitchen layout and service volume, we are happy to talk it through.

The Imperial CIHPA-6-36 is a six-ring gas hotplate built for continuous, high-output cooking in professional kitchen environments. Each burner uses Imperial's PyroCentric design, which generates two concentric rings of flame to distribute heat evenly across the pan base. This works consistently regardless of pan size, which matters in a real service situation where a chef may be running a small saucepan next to a wide sauté pan on adjacent burners. Every burner also has a low simmer capability, so delicate reductions and holding work can run simultaneously alongside full-power frying — a practical asset during a demanding à la carte or banqueting service.

In a busy kitchen, consistent heat distribution and reliable flame response often matter more than headline output figures. The PyroCentric burners reduce the hot spots that can cause uneven cooking when multiple pans are in use at once, and the six-ring layout suits kitchens running parallel sauce, sauté, and stock work throughout service. The unit is designed to sustain that kind of demand across a long shift without noticeable degradation in performance.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit has been designed with post-service cleaning and routine maintenance in mind:

• Removable cast iron burner heads with an anti-clogging design for straightforward servicing
• Sectional lift-off grates that make post-service cleaning practical rather than laborious
• Integrated grate shield protecting the pilot light from grease and debris build-up
• Clean surface finish with no exposed screws or gaskets — fewer points for grease to accumulate
• Continuous grate surface allowing pans to slide between burners without lifting

The unit runs on natural gas or LPG — the correct configuration needs to be confirmed at the point of order. Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and appropriate ventilation will be required in line with local regulations. Adjustable stainless steel legs allow levelling on uneven floors. The footprint is designed for a fixed position within a main cooking line rather than a drop-in or standalone arrangement, so it is worth confirming your available bench run before ordering.

This hotplate is well suited to restaurants, pub kitchens, and catering operations where a reliable, high-output multi-ring gas range is needed as the centrepiece of a cooking suite. It performs particularly well where control across varied pan sizes and durability through continuous service are priorities. For larger operations requiring additional rings or an integrated oven base, heavier-duty configurations exist within the range that may be a better fit for the scale of service.

If you are planning a cooking line or want to talk through whether this unit suits your kitchen layout and service volumes, the team is happy to help you work it through before you commit.
