Why this gas range earns its place
Built to work hard in a busy kitchen, the Opus 800 OG8001/N/RHD combines four powerful gas burners with a large capacity oven below. The steel chassis is described by Lincat as strong and robust, and the heavy duty pan supports are there for the sort of day-to-day wear that commercial cooking kit has to take.
The hob gives chefs 7 kW burners with dual concentric rings, so heat can be focused properly whether you are bringing something up fast or holding a gentler simmer. Below that, the 6 kW oven is sized to take 2 x 1/1 GN, which makes it a practical bit of kit when you need flexibility between oven work and top-of-range cooking.
The unit measures 920 x 600 x 800 mm and weighs 117 kg gross, so it is a substantial freestanding range without being overblown for the space it occupies. With a temperature range from +120 to +280 °C, it gives a clear working span for everyday oven jobs, and the right-hand opening door is useful where access has to work with the kitchen layout rather than against it.
