Surface Operation

Lighting the Burners

All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots.

Vari-Simmer

Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water. Simmering ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and the volume of food can have a significant effect on how high or low a flame is needed for simmering. For this reason, Viking range and rangetop burners are engineered with a Vari-Simmer™ setting. The Vari-Simmer setting is not just one simmer setting, but provides a variable range of simmers settings. This variable range of simmers settings allows you to adjust the flame height to achieve the best simmer depending on the type and quantity of food being simmered. It is this ability that makes the Vari-Simmer setting the most accurate and trustworthy simmer on the market.
