Cooking
Equipment
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,
said former American President Harry Truman. But if it is the heat in
the kitchen that makes your business tick, get your act together by getting
the best cooking equipment in your kitchen. You do need a good cook or
a Chef to manage the cooking, but he would need to have the right kitchen
supplies to prove his skills. If you’ve got the Chef, we will help
you with the rest, at AppleRestaurantSupply.com.
THE HEAT IS ON
Char broilers
If you specialize in serving good meat or fish in your restaurant, a char
broiler would definitely feature on your equipment list. It uses a grill
like surface to cook the meat.
Charbroiling, for one, does not dry the meat. And unlike a broiler, it
allows for slow cooking, which keeps the meat tender while cooking. This
partial cooking can be done with the help of char broilers from Imperial,
APWwyott and American Range.
Char broilers are available in widths ranging from 22 inches to 48 inches.
These countertop char broilers run on gas. Steakhouse broilers in the
width range from 22 inches to 72 inches.
Cheesemelters
Whether you need it on the pizza, or the tortilla, or
with the burger, you cannot ignore this amazing milk product – Cheese.
Depending on the capacity that you normally require, you can choose cheesemelters
from Imperial, which come in sizes varying from 24inches to 84 inches.
Other cheesemelter options are also available from APWwyott and Anvil.
In fact, there is an electric countertop salamander offered by Anvil that
may well fit into your kitchen and suit your electric equipment needs.
Convection Ovens
Convection ovens find a place in a bakery, and in a restaurant that values
its desserts and baked dishes. Countertop electric convection ovens in
varying capacity are available from Cadco and Anvil. For smaller concession
sales, you could opt for a Mini Prima Convection oven from Anvil that
runs on electricity. But, on the other hand, if you have a greater capacity
than a regular restaurant kitchen, Imperial offers effective solutions
in the form of a twin deck Turbo-Flow Convection oven that runs on gas,
and an extra deep Turbo-Flow Convection oven. Cadco also offers a Combination
Oven with or without a stand.
In case you are looking for a convection oven that clubs radiation and
microwave cooking, go for Amana’s Express Combination ovens.
Cook/ Hold/ Proofing Cabinets
If your serving time and preparation time are not in sync, and you need
to keep your food on hold before service, you would need cook and hold
cabinets. On AppleRestaurantSupply.com, you will find new, as well as
used cook and hold cabinets, from Cres Cor. Most of these cabinets are
bulky, yet mobile, so rearranging the space in your kitchen will be easy.
Else, you could choose a countertop model. These cabinets allow for temperature
control, and cover the food from all sides.
Warmers/ Holding Drawers
There is another piece of cooking equipment that can prove to be really
useful in the kitchen – a Warmer. Keep your pastas warm, and allow
for service right out of the drawer. APWwyott and Anvil offer frying stations
for French fries, pasta warmers, and warming drawers.
Fryers
According to a Polish proverb, ‘Fish, to taste right, must swim
three times – in water, in butter, and in wine.’ Miss one
step, and you may fall short of the real taste. Make sure you pick up
the right piece of cooking equipment for the buttering or frying job.
A range of countertop fryers with the regular French fries’ sieve
attachment are available in varying capacity from Imperial, Tri-star,
Cecilware, APWwyott, Waring and American Range. Choose from the electric
and gas versions, depending on the cooking fuel supply in your kitchen.
Beyond these regular fryers, you can go for deep fryers or twin-fryer
contraptions, split-fryers, or even stand alone fryers.
French fries use up a lot of oil, and the oil consumption is also augmented
by the easy addition of small crumbs to the oil while making dough-coated
delicacies in it. This necessitates filtering the oil over repeated intervals.
Cecilware offers another smart utility item for your cooking activity
– a Fry-saver Oil filtration system.
Griddles
Flat metal plates usually made of stainless steel or
aluminum, better known as griddles, make for another important cooking
equipment in meat preparation. At AppleRestaurantSupply.com, there is
a whole range of griddles to suit your specific kitchen needs. Imperial
offers 24-inch to 48-inch wide countertop griddles. Choose between the
ones that run on gas or on electricity. Cecilware also offers countertop
Magnum griddles that run on gas. Cadco, on the other hand, offers fry
top Griddles in Glass and Ceramic makes. An attractive display range of
griddles from APWwyott is available. American Range offers griddle countertop
units in 24-inch to 36-inch width range.
For outdoor cooking activity, you can choose from Crestware’s Char
broiler or portable commercial griddle.
Imperial also offers specialized griddles for teppanyaki cooking. Made
of iron, this griddle often referred to as a teppan, is used to cook steak
and other meats. Imperial has a range of teppanyaki griddles in 24-inch,
36-inch, 48-inch, and 60-inch width. These are available on AppleRestaurantSupply.com.
Hot Plates
Hot plates for convenient countertop heating can be picked up in single
burner or double-burner options from APWwyott, Cecilware, Imperial and
American Range. A buffet range counter unit with a single hot plate counter
in a small, sleek version is available from Cadco. APWwyott offers hot
plates with multiple burners as well as two-level cooking. You can pick
these up from AppleRestaurantSupply.com.
Microwaves
Microwave reheating and cooking also makes for an important activity in
the modern day restaurant and home kitchens. Amana and Turbo Air offer
commercial ovens in varying capacity and display options. For effective
space management and multiple oven requirements, you can go in for the
stackable microwave ovens offered by Amana.
Pasta Retherms
Some say Italy’s gift to mankind is the Pizza, others argue it is
the Pasta. In the business of food, you cannot afford to ignore either.
Pasta cooking can be done in bulk quantities by using a commercial pasta
cooker with 12 to 16 Gallon capacity from Imperial. These cookers run
on gas.
Ranges
Sometimes, a complete cooking range may do the job for
you, instead of going for separate ovens, burners and hot plates. American
Range offers Heavy Duty Restaurant Ranges that run on gas. Cadco offers
small-sized electricity-run countertop buffet ranges with single and double
burner options. Ranges with 24-inch to 60-inch width are available from
Tri-Star and Imperial. You can choose from a variety of options like extra
wide burners, extra wide griddle attachment, multiple burners, and so
on.
Wok Range
A wok range is a round-bottomed cooking utensil that aids your deep-frying,
stir-frying and other cooking needs that require the use of oil. Imperial
offers wok ranges with single-burner, 2-burner, 3-burner, 4-burner, 5-burner
and up to 8-burner options, in accordance with your cooking requirements.
You could also take your pick between other choices in wok equipment available
at AppleRestaurantSupply.com, like the American Range which offers wok
ranges with a tip jet gas burner, and APWwyott which offers a wok ring.
Rice Cookers
Rice can accompany most of the meals on your menu. It is usually in great
demand, and to augment your supply to meet that demand, go for a commercial
rice cooker. Town offers propane and gas run commercial cookers, with
attractive exterior coatings with a plastic or steel finish. The capacity
of the cooker varies from 10 cups to 55 cups. Rice cookers and holders
are also available, that keep cooked rice warm over a period of time.
Sandwich Grills and Toasters
Panini sandwiches, or foot longs stuffed with meat, ham, or cheese, make
for great snack items on the restaurant menu, especially in fast food
joints. With a toaster and a sandwich maker in your kitchen, you are all
set to roll out all the Paninis your guests could ask for. Anvil, Cadco
and Waring offer a range of sandwich grills, with single or split grilling
options. Combination and commercial op-up toasters are available from
Waring and APWwyott. A special kind of commercial toaster called a Conveyor
toaster allows you constant supply of toasted bread, without having to
wait for the pop up after toasting.
Steamers
Steaming vegetables is not just a healthy way of cooking food and preserving
nutrients, but is also an essential step in some elaborate recipes that
require cooking vegetables and meat. Choose between standalone steamers
from Stellar Steam, Cleveland and Cadco. Stellar Steam has on offer 4-pan,
6-pan, 8-pan, 10-pan and 12-pan broiler less steamers, as well as convection
steamers, and gas-run convection steamers, in the multiple pan options.
Again necessity dictates investment on your part. Cleveland also offers
a 3-convection steamer, while Cadco offers a combination oven that runs
on electricity, and is available with or without the stand. Cadco also
offers countertop food steamers that resemble cookers, and could suffice
in some limited kitchen requirement situations.
Stock Pot Ranges
For cooking in pots, as is used in the cooking of stock, you would need
wider grills with more rings than provided by a regular cooking range.
Pick up a stockpot range with or without a cylinder, with single or double
gas burners, or with single or twin top grates offered by Imperial and
American Range. Else you could go for a gas jet burner from Imperial.
Waffle Bakers
For the crunchy waffle cones that drive your ice cream sales, you need
to invest in a waffle maker. Belgian Waffle makers are available from
Waring, apart from Crepe machines from Equipex.
Cooking is where you can set the standards for your restaurant, and earn
a good reputation. For your cooking needs, and all other kitchen equipment,
come to AppleRestaurantSupply.com – your one stop shop for setting
up your restaurant and kitchen.
