THOR Kitchen ARG36 Professional Gas Range 36 Inch

Overview

Thor Kitchen builds this A Series range around a gas cooktop of sealed burners at mixed output levels, from a high-heat burner for searing to smaller ones for sauces. A gas oven fills the body below, with a storage drawer at the base.

Mixed burner sizes make the cooktop useful day to day: one high-output burner for woks and searing, mid-size burners for most pans, and a pair of gentler ones for simmering. Oven capacity is generous for a range this wide. Rack count is inconsistent in the listing, so count on the racks named in the box contents.

Who it's for

Gas kitchens with a wide range opening suit it, especially for a cook who moves between searing and simmering. Homes without a gas line, or buyers who need propane parts included, should look at other models.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Cooktop control comes from matching pan to burner: the high-output burner throws enough heat for a wide wok or a steak pan, while the smaller burners hold a low flame for sauces. Sealed burners stop spills from dropping below the cooktop, so cleanup stays on the surface. No convection fan is listed, so swapping rack positions halfway through evens out browning.
