Combination cooktops allow chefs to build a customised cooking station by pairing open burners, griddles or chargrills with the ideal base underneath—oven, refrigerated chef base or storage cabinet. These modular systems streamline workflow and reduce movement across the cookline.
Ideal for cafés, restaurants, steakhouses and high-volume Australian kitchens, combination cooktops let chefs boil, sear and grill in one zone while storing ingredients or cookware directly underneath for maximum speed.

Buying Guide: Commercial Combination Cooktops
A combination cooktop integrates multiple cooking methods—boiling, grilling and searing—into one compact workstation. With the right base underneath, you can cook, store or prep from a single location, improving speed and workflow across the W5 Cookline Zone.
1. Choosing the Top: Mix Your Heat Sources
Different top combinations support different menus and service styles:
- Burners + Griddle: Café favourite. Boil sauces while cooking bacon, eggs or sandwiches on the flat plate.
- Burners + Chargrill: Ideal for burger bars and steakhouses—grill proteins while preparing sides and sauces.
- Full Modular Line-Up: Combine burners, griddles, woks or chargrills into one continuous stainless workstation.
Heat-zone advantage: Multi-zone tops let chefs shift pans left–right for fast temperature changes without adjusting flame settings.
2. Choosing the Base: Oven, Refrigeration or Storage
The space beneath your cooktop is valuable—choose the base that enhances your workflow:
- Oven Base: Ideal for roasting, baking or holding food in busy kitchens without room for a separate oven.
- Refrigerated Chef Base: Heavy-duty GN drawers keep meat and vegetables at safe temperatures directly under the grill.
- Cabinet / Shelf Base: Best for dry storage of pots, pans, utensils and oils.
3. Gas vs Electric
- Gas (NG/LPG): Fast response and strong searing power—standard for modular cooktops.
- Electric: Stable heat and cleaner operation—ideal for hotels or venues with strict fire-safety limits.
Engineering note: Electric modules may require 20A–32A or 3-phase supply.
4. Ventilation & Compliance (AS 1668)
Combination cooktops require extraction that covers the full cookline. Under AS 1668, the canopy must extend at least 150mm beyond appliance edges to capture heat, grease and smoke.
5. Workflow Efficiency & ROI
Combination cooktops improve speed and reduce staff movement during service.
- Zero-walking workflow: Grab proteins from a chef base and grill immediately.
- Faster service: Multi-zone cooking reduces ticket times.
- ROI Example: Saving 10 minutes per hour = 1.5 hr/day labour reduction.
6. Leading Combination Cooktop Brands
- Blue Seal: High-performance modular systems with strong burner output.
- Waldorf: Premium build quality and heavy-duty stainless frames.
- Thor: Reliable, value-driven options for fast-paced kitchens.
7. Summary
Combination cooktops offer a compact, efficient workstation tailored to your menu. They deliver multiple cooking methods in a single zone while providing oven, fridge or storage capacity beneath.
