Why Operators Love Southbend Star Burners
  • Five-point design concentrates heat toward pan centers—ideal for sauté & sauce work.
  • Port pattern ensures uniform flame spread for consistent results across every dish.
  • One-piece clog-free cast iron resists spills and wipes clean fast.
Installation & Use Reminders
• Install under a properly sized ventilation hood.
• For floors other than quarry tile, consult Southbend for approved mounting solutions.
• Keep cookware 12" + to the rear grates to prevent excess heat on the front rail.
• Commercial use only—household installation voids warranty.
