EVO recently introduced the manually-controlled, gas-fired cooktop for residential outdoor kitchens. The Evo Affinity 30G Elite Cooktop is the perfect solution for demanding to delicate food preparation and for applications where fast temperature recovery is needed. Foods can be prepared directly on the cooking surface, and either separately or simultaneously, pots and pans may be used as in traditional stove top cooking. The unit can be installed as an end unit or integrated into a countertop. The 30G Elite has a 30-inch diameter ceramic clad steel cook surface heated underneath by inner and outer gas tube burners. The 30G Classic Cooktop features a nickel-coated steel cooking surface. Evo’s technology allows independent heat adjustment across inner and outer cook surface zones for managing a wide range of menu possibilities. Heat is delivered to each burner via separate inner and outer control knobs.

Edge-to-edge even surface temperatures range from 225ºF to 675ºF (121ºC to 357ºC) from the center to the outside edge without the hot spots and temperature problems prone to traditional square griddles. The burner system has a push button electronic ignition system which ignites both burners simultaneously. A stainless steel drip pan completely surrounds the underside of the cooking surface catching all food debris. Separate spill over trays that contain and hold debris are concealed in slide out drawers at each right and left side of the control panel. Operating on either Natural Gas or Propane LP Gas, the Affinity 30G Elite Cooktop is an ideal solution for creating a social cooking space with any outdoor kitchen.
