Ultimate Series Construction

The Southbend Ultimate Series is Southbend's heavy-duty restaurant range line, built in the USA for kitchens that run the line hard from open to close. Every model shares the same 37" working height, a 4" stainless steel front rail, stainless steel front and sides, a front-mounted manual gas shut-off for the whole range and a factory-installed pressure regulator.

The open-top section uses Southbend's patented one-piece cast iron non-clog burners, which are designed so boil-overs and debris cannot block the ports, under individual removable cast iron grates; the rear grates hold up to a 14" stock pot. Oven bases are porcelain-enamel lined with a 175°F to 550°F thermostat, so the range can bake, roast and hold while the top handles sauté, boiling and griddle work.
