  • Pros: The graduated heat across the solid top is superb for multitasking.
  • Cons: At over 200kg, installation definitely requires careful planning and  a few hands.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Swan at Bampton, a charming pub in rural Oxfordshire, needed to replace its ageing and  inefficient oven range before the busy summer season. They chose the Parry USHOP for its robust reputation and  versatile solid top, ideal for their classic British menu.

"The old oven had hot spots and  was a nightmare to rely on. The Parry gives us consistent, even heat across the entire surface. We can trust it, which means we can get plates out faster without worrying about quality. It's been a brilliant investment."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The upgrade led to a measurable improvement, reducing average ticket times during their peak Sunday service by over 15%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the installation area is well-ventilated and  on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting 210kg.
  • Connection to the propane gas supply must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
  • Use the castors to position the unit, then lock them securely in place before first use.
  • Before cooking, perform a 'burn-off' by running the oven at a high temperature for 30-60 minutes to clear any manufacturing residues.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and  solid top with a soft cloth and  appropriate cleaner daily.
  • Clean the enamel oven liner regularly to prevent build-up; it's easiest when the oven is still slightly warm.
  • Remove and  wash the chrome oven racks in warm, soapy water as needed.
  • Schedule an annual service with a qualified engineer to check gas connections and  thermostat accuracy.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gas Oven Range

Not sure which oven range is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider.

Gas Type: LPG vs. Natural

This model uses Propane (LPG), ideal for mobile units or sites without mains gas. Always check which supply you have before you buy.

Size & Footprint

Measure your space carefully, remembering to leave room for ventilation and  access for cleaning. This is a 900mm wide unit, a standard size for many kitchens.

Hob Type: Solid Top vs. Open Burner

A solid top offers incredible flexibility for using multiple pans and  provides graduated heat, whereas open burners give you instant, direct heat.

Oven Capacity

Consider what you'll be cooking. This range features a generous oven with three rack positions, making it versatile for both roasting large items and  batch baking.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like enamel liners and  removable racks. A unit that’s easy to clean saves valuable staff time at the end of a long service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the main benefit of a solid top oven range?

A: A solid top provides a large, versatile cooking area with graduated heat zones. You can boil rapidly in the centre and  simmer gently at the edges, simply by sliding your pans around, which is great for a busy service.

Q: Does this oven require a specialist to install it?

A: Yes, any commercial gas appliance, including this one, must be installed and  commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure it is safe and  compliant.

Q: Is this unit suitable for baking delicate pastries?

A: While primarily a robust general-purpose oven, its maximum temperature of 240°C and  even heating make it capable of baking a wide variety of items, from bread to pies.

Q: How do I clean the solid top hob?

A: The solid top should be cleaned when cool using a griddle scraper for heavy debris, followed by a suitable surface cleaner. Regular 'seasoning' with a little cooking oil can help maintain the surface.

Q: What does 'finger tip ignition' mean?

A: It means the oven has a simple push-button piezo ignition system, so you don't need to use matches or a lighter to get it started.

Q: Can I use any type of pan on the solid top?

A: Yes, one of the great advantages of a solid top is that you can use any size or shape of pot or pan, including those with uneven bases.

Q: How easy is it to move for cleaning?

A: The Parry USHOP comes with castors fitted as standard, making it straightforward to pull the unit out for deep cleaning behind and  underneath it.

Q: Does the oven have a fan?

A: This is a static oven, not a convection oven. It provides natural, even heat which is excellent for roasting and  traditional baking methods.

Why the Enamel Liner is a True Time-Saver

Ever spent ages scrubbing a baked-on mess from an oven after a long shift? The 'Enamel Oven Liner' in the Parry USHOP is designed to make that a thing of the past. Think of it like the tough, non-stick coating on a high-quality frying pan, but for the inside of your commercial oven. Enamel is a type of glass fused to the metal surface at very high temperatures, creating a super smooth, non-porous finish. This means that grease, fat, and  food spills can't get a proper grip. Instead of having to use harsh chemicals and  a lot of elbow grease, most grime wipes away with a simple damp cloth, saving your team valuable time and  effort every single day.
