Hot Plates
110 products
Hot plates are countertop burners that add range-top cooking wherever a full range will not fit or is not needed. Caterers, food trucks, small cafes, test kitchens and restaurants short on burners use them for sauces, soups, sauteing and holding. This category covers gas hot plates with one or more open burners and electric models with solid plates or coil elements; induction units have their own category.

About commercial hot plates
Before you buy
- Count the burners you actually need at once, since gas hot plates are usually sold by burner count and width.
- Consider a step-up model, where the rear burners sit higher than the front, so a cook can reach back pots without leaning over the front flames.
- Place a gas hot plate on a sturdy stand or counter of the surface type its manual specifies, often non-combustible, with the side and rear clearances it lists.
- For electric models, compare the wattage per plate with the circuit you have, because a higher-output plate heats a large pot faster but may need its own breaker.
Common questions
Can a hot plate replace a commercial range?
- For a small menu or an extra station, it can. A hot plate gives you burners without an oven, so kitchens that also bake or roast pair it with a countertop or stand-alone oven. For a busy line cooking on six or more burners at once, a full range is usually more practical.
Can a gas hot plate run on propane?
- Many can, but the unit has to be ordered for propane or converted with the manufacturer's kit by a licensed gas fitter, since propane burners use different orifices from natural gas burners. Confirm the gas type before ordering and follow the installation manual for the regulator and connection.
What is the difference between an electric hot plate and an induction cooker?
- An electric hot plate heats a solid plate or coil, which then heats the pan, so any flat-bottomed cookware works. An induction cooker heats the pan itself through a magnetic field, which responds faster and keeps the surface cooler, but it only works with magnetic cookware such as cast iron or induction-ready stainless steel.
How much do commercial hot plates cost?
- List prices on Norpex range from $114.99 to $13,182.25 CAD, with a median of $1,896.70 across 110 priced models; prices are list prices before tax and shipping.
What power options do commercial hot plates come in?
- Norpex lists commercial hot plates by power source, with the number of models of each: gas (24), electric (19), natural gas (14) and propane (8). Confirm the gas type, or the voltage and phase, available at the installation site before ordering.
Which brands of commercial hot plates do you carry?
- Norpex lists 110 commercial hot plates. The brands with the most models listed are Royal with 30, American Range with 21, Omcan with 16, Nemco with 10 and Brika with 9.
Do you ship commercial hot plates across Canada?
- Norpex ships to delivery addresses across Canada. Equipment ships from distributor warehouses, so dispatch timing depends on the supplier and the destination. For items that can be bought online, shipping is calculated at checkout from live carrier rates for the delivery address and confirmed before payment. There is no automatic free-shipping or flat-rate offer.
