Gas vs Dual Range

Hey guys!!!

I need some advice because I cannot make a decision.

I am a private chef and currently creating plans for my kitchen in my brownstone. I pretty much have a whole level just for the kitchen and its a total blank slate.

Although it wont be a restaurant kitchen, it will be my work kitchen, thus has to be very practical.

I want to put in GE Monogram commercial range as well as additional wall ovens (which have to be electric). So I can decide if I should do gas oven in the range or another electric (dual)?

Thank you for your input!

I would say dual, gas burners, electric oven, at least that is what I would do.

gas ovens are pretty terrible at consistent temps, I would vote dual.

Ranges are no good for heavy production as the oven is too low and blocks the work area for the cook top. Go with an induction 36" cooktop.

Forget wall ovens and put in commercial combis on stands. Rational, Alto Shaam and Lainox all provide models that can run off single phase. Lainox I would put in the lead as the interface and cloud ability is far better than the other two. The Lainox is extremely consistent as gas. All models do not need to be placed under a hood. All you need is a cold water connection, drain, electricity and maybe gas.

Push a gas line out to the back garden and run a gas grill/charbroiler. You can add grilled products to your menu, but you negated the indoor extraction/MUA requirements.

Tim is providing excellent advice, a 36" induction cooktop with commercial combi ovens on stands. These two choices offer the greatest control and versatility you can currently get in a kitchen.
