Parry USHO Solid Top Gas Range Oven

The Parry USHO is a solid top gas range oven designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens. It combines a solid top burner section with a full static gas oven below, giving kitchen teams a practical, general-purpose cooking platform that handles a wide range of tasks without specialised attachments or complex controls.

In a busy kitchen environment, the solid top configuration is particularly useful — it provides an even heat spread across the entire surface, making it straightforward to move pans around, hold pots at temperature, and manage multiple items simultaneously during a demanding service. The static oven below is capable of reaching up to 240°C, which suits roasting, baking, and finishing work reliably across a standard service shift.

Parry have built this range on a heavy-duty chassis mounted on 50mm box section, which adds meaningful rigidity over lighter-duty alternatives. Practical details worth noting include:

• Full enamel oven liner and drip tray for straightforward daily cleaning
• Heavy-duty pan supports across the solid top surface
• Two chrome-plated oven racks with three rack positions
• Piezo ignition to the oven — no separate ignition tool required
• Castors fitted as standard, allowing the unit to be moved for cleaning or repositioning
• Flame failure device fitted as a standard safety measure

Installation requires a gas connection via a ½ BSP fitting. As with all gas cooking equipment, adequate ventilation and extraction above the unit is essential, and the installation should be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The castor-mounted base makes positioning easier, though operators should confirm there is sufficient clearance around the unit to meet ventilation and safety requirements before finalising placement.

The USHO is a well-established choice for small to medium-sized kitchens — pubs, cafés, smaller restaurants, and catering operations where a reliable, no-frills gas range covers the majority of daily cooking needs without occupying excessive floor space. For high-volume sites running extended double services, or kitchens where multiple cooking zones are needed simultaneously, a heavier-duty or larger-footprint range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this range suits your service volume or kitchen layout, the team are happy to talk through the options before you commit.
