Abstract
A sealed gas burner for a cooking range has a venturi tube assembly which is attached directly to a range top of the cooking range. A burner cup slidingly and releasably engages a venturi tube of the venturi tube assembly which extends through the range top. A burner cap releasably engages the burner cup and it defines a plurality of burner ports. The burner cup and the burner cap define an annular gas chamber in communication with the burner ports. The burner ports can be cleaned by removing only the burner cap. Additional cleaning of the burner and the range top can be accomplished by removing both the burner cap and the burner cup.
