Why Chefs Choose Southbend Ultimate

  • Since 1898—over a century of American-made reliability.
  • Lifetime-clog-free cast-iron burner design reduces downtime and service calls.
  • 27" deep cooktop maximizes usable space and supports oversize cookware on rear burners.
  • Coved-corner porcelain ovens clean fast and promote even airflow—no hot spots.
  • Field-upgradeable with charbroilers, hot tops, cabinet bases and more as your menu evolves.
Installation note: For combustible floors, 6" legs or casters are mandatory. When using cookware 12" or larger, keep vessels on the rear burners to avoid heat damage to the front rail.

From breakfast rush to last-call apps, the Southbend Ultimate 48" range delivers the fire-power, flexibility and rugged construction needed to keep your kitchen moving—shift after shift.
