surface charm

For those who like it hot, the Viking professional series of gas companion ranges can be outfitted with a single wok top featuring a 27,500 BTU burner. If grilling’s the thing, go for the all-char-grill surface. Pancake fanatic? Then get the all-griddle surface with a machined-steel blanchard finish for stick-resistant cooking. Each unit’s 3.1-cubic-foot oven features a 1,500-degree infrared broiler for restaurant-quality searing and browning. Viking Range Corp., 888.845.4641; www.vikingrange.com.
