8 MAY 2007 -- Cleveland, Tenn. - The 2007 collection of FiveStar professional ranges will include two new features designed to expand the performance and versatility of the brand's luxury ranges and cooktops. Both the high-performance Ultra High-Low™ sealed burner and the Lodge® Cast Iron Griddle/Grill will make their debut at KBIS 2007 (booth #N3045) and will feature on all FiveStar ranges and cooktops with sealed burners and/or an interchangeable griddle/grill option.
The Ultra High-Low Burner
The Ultra High-Low Burner
One of the broadest BTU spectrums available today makes the Ultra High-Low sealed burner quite simply one of the most versatile burners in the industry. Capable of bringing four quarts of water to a rolling boil in just 13 minutes with its super-high 21,000 BTU equivalent, the Ultra High-Low Burner's delicate 350 BTU equivalent is also capable of maintaining an equally consistent low heat for as long as eight hours - a capacity demonstrated by FiveStar's "Chocolate Test" and "$100 Test".
In the "Chocolate Test," one-ounce of chocolate is melted on a paper plate placed directly on the grate at its low simmer point. The burner maintains the melted chocolate without burning it or the paper plate for eight hours. In the "$100 Test," a one hundred dollar bill is placed directly over the burner at its low simmer point for eight hours without setting fire to the bill. Thanks to pinpoint adjustability and precision heat control, serious home chefs can also toggle between the highest and lowest heat settings in milliseconds. And because the Ultra High-Low Burner is standard for every burner on every FiveStar sealed burner model range and cooktop, FiveStar chefs will never have to compromise on temperature - or performance - again.
The Lodge® Cast Iron Griddle/Grill
Designed by FiveStar and produced by Lodge Manufacturing, the FiveStar Griddle/Grill combines the flavor-enhancing qualities and even heat distribution of pre-seasoned cast iron with the ease and convenience of a built-in cooktop griddle/grill. FiveStar chefs can use the grill's extra-wide ridges to provide perfect sear marks and flawlessly cooked meat, fish and poultry, then flip easily to the smooth-sided griddle for quick snacks and short-order favorites.
