Do I Need to Turn on All Burners with a Pro Series Flat Top?Updated a month ago

No, you do not need to turn on all burners when using a Pro Series Flat Top.

The Pro Series Flat Top is designed with thicker, high-quality steel that distributes heat evenly and prevents warping, even if not all burners are turned on. This allows you to control heat zones based on your cooking needs:

• For lower heat or indirect cooking, use only some of the burners and let the heat naturally spread.
• For high-heat or even cooking, turning on more burners provides full coverage.

However, if you have a Standard Series Flat Top, it is important to always turn on all burners at low to low-medium heat. This ensures the metal expands evenly, preventing warping over time. Higher heat settings should only be used after the Flat Top has fully heated up.

By following these guidelines, you can maximize the lifespan and performance of your Flat Top.
