Unusual Range Configurations Most ranges from different manufacturers seem very similar when it comes to the basics. Oven on the bottom - burners on top. Some have more than one oven, some have more burners than others, and perhaps a griddle or a grill, but beyond that, not many striking differences. Well, here are a few ranges that are dramatically different - and you can see it right away. These are specific ranges have unique features for chefs who have specific interests or requirements. Take a look. Step-up Freestanding Ranges from American RangeWonder why all the burners on your range are on the same level? Maybe you've seen restaurants where food is being cooked in what seems to be different cooking heights. American Range has created a "Step-up" range with burners on different levels. When using multiple pots and pans simultaneously, handles become obtrusive and annoying. For this reason, many chefs have requested that burners be lifted to broaden the cooking surface and prevent handles from one pan heating the handles of another. In response, American Range has created the Step-Up Range line. Griddle Broiler on Top from BlueStar The professional-style raised griddle broiler allows for broiling and grilling simultaneously. This unique feature provides a full-size 12-inch griddle with a 600 degree maximum heating capacity. Perfect for last minute crisping, searing, or melting. It is powered by a 15,000btu radiant gas fired burner, capable of producing seared, crisp steaks in minutes! Home Salamander Broiler
