Hestan KRT485GDLP Rangetop

Brass burners are prized for their durability and heat retention. They resist corrosion better than aluminum over time and maintain consistent performance even under the high-heat conditions required for professional-style searing.

The integrated infrared griddle is designed for immediate use and does not require the same seasoning process as traditional cast-iron griddles. However, you should still clean it regularly and apply a light coat of oil after cooking to maintain the surface integrity.

Yes, the rangetop features continuous heavy-duty cast-iron grates that sit above the stainless steel surface. These grates allow you to slide heavy cookware from burner to burner safely without making contact with the steel finish.

While the center burner is designed for rapid boiling and high-heat searing, it offers enough control to be versatile. You will find it most useful for large stockpots or wok cooking, but it is powerful enough that you will want to keep an eye on your food to prevent burning.

This unit requires a standard 120-volt, 15-amp electrical connection. This power is primarily used to run the electronic ignition, reignition system, and the backlit control knobs.

The electronic reignition system constantly monitors the burner flame. If a draft blows the flame out, the system will automatically spark to reignite the burner, ensuring safety and preventing gas buildup.
