Essential Buying Considerations

Space and Capacity

  • Measure your available kitchen space precisely—including height clearances for ventilation.
  • Consider output requirements based on covers served during peak periods—avoid underpowered equipment.
  • Factor in future growth—slightly larger capacity provides expansion flexibility.

Power and Installation

  • Check your premises' electrical supply against equipment requirements—13A, 16A, or 3-phase?
  • Consider ventilation needs—some appliances require extraction hoods.
  • Budget for professional installation—critical for warranty validation and compliance.

How Commercial Catering Appliances Work

Professional catering appliances operate on a fundamentally different level than domestic equipment. They're built with commercial-grade components—higher power ratings, reinforced motors, and heavy-duty materials—designed for continuous operation during demanding service periods. Most run on either single or three-phase electricity (typically 13A-32A), with some requiring hardwiring into your kitchen's electrical system. Gas models connect to mains supply with proper ventilation requirements. The magic happens through precise temperature controls, powerful heating elements, and robust construction that maintains consistency even when pushed to capacity during peak hours—delivering reliable performance shift after shift.
