Basic Restaurant Equipment

Tue, 21 Dec 2010 21:00:21 +0000

When you are setting up a restaurant, you will need some equipment similar to that needed in your own home’s kitchen. But this equipment needs to be of commercial quality which can handle a large amount of handling and work at one time and can be used for longer periods unlike the more delicate household varieties. The basic thing to pay attention to in any kitchen equipment is quality. Remember that failure of the equipment to deliver at the right time can cause irreparable damage to your reputation.

Some of the basic equipment that you need to start your restaurant business is bakery equipment, commercial freezers, commercial fryers, commercial steamers, commercial ovens, commercial mixers, and various kinds of knives, spatulas, ladles, spoons and a host of utensils. You will also need coffee machines, ice makers, etc. In fact, there are equipment pieces for every small need of the restaurant kitchen, but you may not need each of them.

Choosing an oven is very important. The size and type will depend on the number of customers you are prepared to handle and also on the size of your kitchen. These ovens can be both free standing and counter top types. You will have to choose according to the layout of the kitchen.

The basic types of steamers are pressure steamers and convection steamers. For a restaurant, the convection steamers are better option due to their capacity of handling larger volume of food at a time. The commercial freezers are designed to cool and freeze large amount in a short time. The size and type should be according to requirement only.
