What is the difference between a Viking open burner and a Viking sealed burner?
Viking began “commercial-type” cooking for the home with its stainless steel open burner design. These burners are like those used in commercial kitchens. The open burner provides superior performance from a high searing heat all the way down to a gentle simmer. Each open burner breaks down so the grates, burner bowls, and grate supports can be taken to the sink and soaked as needed. Viking sealed burner ranges provide the same superior performance of the open burner ranges, but the cleaning process is different. The sealed burner ranges have an exclusive one-piece tooled and porcelainized top that contains any spillovers. Grates can be removed for soaking as needed and the rest of the cooking surface is easily wiped out for easy clean-up.
