PRG364GL, PRG484GG, PRG366, PRG486GL, PRG486GD specifications

The Thermador PRG series of professional ranges includes impressive models like the PRG304, PRG364GL, PRG486GD, PRG486GL, PRG366, and PRG484GG. Each of these ranges is designed for serious cooks who prioritize performance, precision, and sophisticated design in their kitchens.

A standout feature across the PRG models is the powerful Star® Burner technology. Each burner is designed specifically to maximize heat distribution, achieving temperatures from a gentle simmer to a roaring boil. The patented star-shaped design allows for more surface area, yielding quicker cooking times and ensuring even heat.

Thermador also integrates a unique feature called the ExtraLow® simmer setting. This innovation allows for remarkable temperature control on select burners, making it easier to prepare delicate sauces or keep foods warm without burning. Chefs can appreciate the versatility offered, as these ranges cater to a variety of cooking techniques.

In addition to impressive burners, many models in the PRG series come equipped with dual-fuel capabilities. This means that users can benefit from the precision of gas burners combined with the consistent heat of electric ovens. The convection oven technology ensures even baking results while significantly reducing cooking times. This is especially beneficial for those who frequently roast or bake.

The PRG series also emphasizes user convenience and ease of use. With features like a spacious oven cavity, bright halogen lights, and intuitive control knobs, these ranges make cooking effortless. Some models boast additional functions like a self-cleaning mode, which saves homeowners from the hassle of manual cleaning and keeps the kitchen looking pristine.

Durability and style are important characteristics as well. The PRG304, PRG364GL, PRG486GD, PRG486GL, PRG366, and PRG484GG feature stainless steel finishes that are not only elegant but also easy to maintain. They are designed to resist scratches and wear, ensuring that they look great in any kitchen environment.

Safety features are prioritized too, with integrated systems that prevent gas leaks and overheating. This peace of mind allows chefs to focus on creating culinary masterpieces without worry.

Ultimately, the Thermador PRG series is ideal for those who seek both high performance and a luxury kitchen experience. With advanced technologies, thoughtful design, and culinary versatility, these ranges cater to the needs of passionate home cooks and professional chefs alike. Whether you are simmering sauces, baking pastries, or preparing a gourmet feast, the PRG304, PRG364GL, PRG486GD, PRG486GL, PRG366, and PRG484GG are engineered to deliver exceptional results every time.
