This Brazilian manufacturer has been a trusted partner for chefs and restaurateurs around the globe, and now they're a Pace Reps partner that further underscores our focus on culinary-driven solutions.

Venancio's Genesis Series is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern chefs and foodservice professionals. With a versatile set of solutions listed under the Genesis Series umbrella, Venancio provides a commercial range to fit just about every situation and every application.

How Does Genesis Deliver Versatility?

The Genesis Series from Venancio provides today's foodservice operators with what seems like an endless combination of cooking methods. Here's a quick overview of the standout components available as part of the Genesis Series:

Genesis Range Gas Cooktops and Hot Plates: These high-performance gas cooktops provide precise control over cooking temperatures, making them ideal for sautéing, simmering, and searing. They are designed to accommodate various pot and pan sizes, offering versatility for chefs, with grates that are easy to clean and maintain. But what truly sets the Genesis Range apart from every other gas range in the industry is its revolutionary VT burner, which utilizes infrared heat to provide incredible heating power while using the least amount of gas of any open burner in the industry. The money savings provided by this burner are truly astounding when calculated over a period of one year. The VT burner is featured not only on Genesis gas ranges but also on gas Hot Plate units, making Genesis gas Hot Plates the most powerful and energy-efficient on the market.

Genesis Standard and Convection Ovens: Both standard and convection ovens are sized to accommodate a full-size sheet pan in either direction for maximum versatility and to insure even cooking of all products. Genesis convection oven bases are equipped with a fan ON/OFF switch, as well as a fan HI/LOW switch. The convection oven base even has an interior light that illuminates when the oven door is opened. Heavy-duty quadrant door hinges assure maximum durability under even the heaviest use.

Thermostatic Griddle: The Genesis Series can even include a thermostatic griddle for all flattop cooking needs, such as burgers, eggs, and even plancha-style cooking.

The Genesis Series not only provides exemplary functionality, but it also has an elegant aesthetic that can enhance the back of the house.

Genesis Series from Venancio: The Ultimate in Versatility

The true power behind the Genesis Series is its ability to provide versatility in the kitchen. As detailed above, units can include a wide range of functionality, but that's not the only choice operators have when considering the versatile cook series.

Cooking Combinations: The different cook types listed above can be combined to form the ultimate in cooking capabilities. If an operator wants a griddle next to a range over a convection oven, it's possible. If the choice is between a standard oven and a convection oven, Genesis can also deliver that.

Countertop or Free-Standing: Sometimes space dictates equipment decisions in a commercial kitchen, but it shouldn't limit capabilities. With the Genesis Series from Venancio, hot plate burners can be placed on countertops to add an additional level of cooking capabilities, quite literally.

Versatile Sizes: For operators who wish to employ free-standing units, there are options available that not only include different cooking combinations but also with size. The width of the different units available from Venancio range from 24 inches to 72 inches.

See Why the Venancio Genesis Range Won the 2019 Kitchen Innovations Award

Focused on foodservice equipment innovations, the Venancio Genesis range achieved a 2019 Kitchen Innovations Award from the National Restaurant Association. To win this award, the equipment must be easy to use, innovative, and progressive -- all words that describe the incredible technology behind the grill of the Venancio Genesis range.

With the most powerful – yet most energy-efficient – open burners in the industry, the Genesis Series Range set a new standard for gas range energy savings.  A typical 6-burner Genesis Range can provide over $1000 per year in energy savings compared to other gas open burner ranges.

Consider a range that produces evenly cooked, consistent food in high-quality establishments, looks pleasant, and is easy to clean. This range handles it all, and while it looks pretty, that's not why it won the 2019 Kitchen Innovations Award -- it won for its unsurpassed elegance, its energy-saving gas consumption rating, and its overall ability to perform in today’s demanding commercial kitchens.
