Abstract
According to one embodiment, a range for cooking includes a combustion chamber having a bottom surrounded by sidewalls that extend upward to an upper rim, a gas burner positioned at the bottom, and a platen positioned on the upper rim. The platen has an opening above the gas burner with a first flange. The range further includes a removable outer plate positioned on the first flange. The removable outer plate has an opening above the gas burner with a second flange. The range further includes a removable inner plate positioned on the second flange. The removable inner plate is circular and is made of cast iron. The removable outer plate is configured to increase the thermal resistance between the removable inner plate and the platen by having at least one of a different composition, thickness, and limited contact area than or with the platen.
