Heating Things Up…… On the American Range tour bus


In the middle of a heat wave on a hot night in New York, I braved the 100 degrees to meet up with the American Range tour bus for a Bar-B-Q in the parking lot of my favorite appliance store.
The bus was impressive, a big, shiny, black mobile showroom, outfitted with all sorts of residential and commercial cooking equipment but the product and the driver, “Captain” Curt Saunders really made it worthwhile. American Range is a foodie’s dream. It doesn’t just look professional, it is the real deal. Modified for residential UL approval, each piece of world class cooking equipment is actually made with commercial parts in the same factory as the restaurant equipment. This means you are cooking your steak with the same Inconel broiler that is used in the famed Ruth’s Chris Steak House chain. The sealed burners, they are really sealed. While explaining the burner and top options, Captain Curt actually poured some water on the cooktop, mid sentence to show me. Several burner sizes, easy clean inserts, 22″ griddles, (perfect for making that All-American pancake breakfast), and easy clean infra-red grill give the home chef de cuisine all the options necessary to really enjoy the cooking and home entertaining experience. Other things that impressed me were the 36″ warming drawer that will fit a full sized catering pan and the French door wall oven that allows for easy reach and keeps you from burning your forearms while trying to get the cheesecake out of the top oven. Simple, brilliant solutions for world class cooking at home. When thinking about up leveling your kitchen to a real culinary haven, I highly recommend you check out the product line.
