Wok Ranges & Burners

Best Wok Ranges & Burners for Asian Restaurants & Commercial Kitchens

A commercial wok range delivers the extreme heat that authentic Asian cooking demands. These specialized burners produce intense flames that heat woks quickly and evenly, allowing chefs to stir fry at temperatures that create the signature "wok hei" or breath of the wok that defines great Chinese cuisine. Whether you're running a Chinese restaurant, Thai kitchen, Korean BBQ, or fusion concept, a dedicated wok range is essential equipment for producing authentic dishes at commercial speed.

Wok ranges feature concave burner openings designed to cradle round-bottom woks securely while directing flames up the sides of the pan. This design maximizes heat transfer and allows for the rapid tossing and stirring that stir fry technique requires. BTU outputs range from 90,000 to over 100,000 per burner, far exceeding standard range burners and providing the power needed for flash cooking that sears ingredients quickly while keeping them crisp and flavorful.

At GoFoodservice, we offer wok ranges and burners from trusted brands like American Range, CookRite, Imperial Range, and Radiance. Each manufacturer builds heavy-duty equipment designed for the intense demands of high-volume wok cooking.

Why Choose a Commercial Wok Range?

Standard range burners simply can't produce the heat that wok cooking requires. The intense temperatures needed to properly sear meats, flash cook vegetables, and develop complex flavors demand specialized equipment designed specifically for this cooking style. A commercial wok range delivers that power while providing the burner configuration and pan support that makes wok technique possible.

The high BTU output of wok burners allows for faster cooking times, which is critical in busy Asian kitchens where orders come in rapidly. Ingredients spend less time in the pan, which preserves their texture and nutrients while developing the caramelized flavors that customers expect. The speed also translates to higher throughput during peak service periods.

Wok ranges come in configurations from single burners for smaller operations to multi-burner units with six, seven, or eight burners for high-volume restaurants. Many models include water-cooled surfaces that help manage the intense heat and keep the cooking area safer for staff. Built-in water faucets and drain troughs make cleanup efficient between orders.

What to Look for in a Wok Range

Choosing the right wok range depends on your menu, volume, and kitchen layout. Several factors help determine which configuration best fits your operation.

Some things to consider when shopping for a wok range include:

• Number of burners based on your volume needs
• BTU output per burner for your cooking style
• Burner type including jet, duck, or three-ring designs
• Water-cooled vs. air-cooled construction
• Natural gas vs. propane configuration
• Overall dimensions for your kitchen space
• Faucet and drain features for cleanup
• Freestanding vs. modular installation
• And more!

The right wok range becomes the heart of your Asian kitchen, delivering the intense heat and reliable performance that authentic wok cooking demands. Matching the equipment to your specific needs ensures consistent quality and efficient service.
