How Commercial Oriental Cooking Equipment Works

Professional oriental cooking equipment operates on a different principle than standard Western cooking systems. The heart of most setups is the powerful wok burner—delivering intense, focused heat (typically 13-25kW) that creates that authentic 'wok hei' flavour impossible to achieve on regular hobs. These systems feature specially designed circular burners that concentrate flames directly under woks, with adjustable gas controls for precise heat management. Many units include water-cooled surfaces to prevent overheating during extended service, while integrated water taps make quick rinsing a breeze. The result? Flash-fried dishes with perfect texture, seamless stir-frying, and the authentic taste that customers expect from professional Asian cuisine.

Real-World Success with Commercial Oriental Cooking Equipment
