The last food service unit I operated had NO heating equipment, with the exception of a half-size convection oven. I purchased 6 butane (Iwatani) burners to do all my "stove top" cooking. I resorted to Knorr's soup mixes and enhanced them, as needed. Actually, they are not so bad... add water, bring to a boil and allow to thicken, serve. Made, if I recall correctly, 2 gallons at a shot. The Knorr folks even supplied the merchandising/display pieces, soup inserts, menu cards, etc. I went through about 2 cases of butane per week and broke about 1 burner a month, which isn't really bad considering that I didn't have many other expenses is the area of utilities.
