1. What is commercial kitchen equipment?

Commercial kitchen equipment refers to large kitchen equipment suitable for hotels, restaurants, dining venues, and large units such as schools and construction site canteens; its characteristics include a wide variety of products, much larger specifications, power, and capacity compared to household kitchen equipment, and relatively higher prices. It mainly focuses on integrated kitchens and involves metal parts made of stainless steel.

2. What types of commercial kitchen equipment are there?

Commercial kitchen equipment can be roughly divided into five categories: cooking equipment, exhaust ventilation equipment, preparation equipment, mechanical equipment, and refrigeration and insulation equipment.

Cooking equipment refers to commonly used stoves and burners in the kitchen.

Exhaust ventilation equipment refers to ventilation and smoke exhaust systems, commonly including hoods, water-cooled hoods, oil fume purifiers, fans, etc.

Preparation equipment mostly consists of stainless steel devices, such as worktables, operating tables, rice and flour racks, sinks, etc.

Mechanical equipment mainly includes small mechanical devices, such as slicers, mixers, dough kneaders, soy milk machines, etc.

Refrigeration and insulation equipment refers to devices used to keep materials and food fresh or warm, such as freezers, refrigerators, and warming cabinets.

3. What is an integrated kitchen project?

An integrated kitchen project is a new type of kitchen form that systematically combines kitchen cabinets, range hoods, gas stoves, sterilizers, dishwashers, refrigerators, microwaves, electric ovens, sinks, various drawers and baskets, garbage disposers, and other kitchen utensils and appliances. "Integrated" means overall configuration, overall design, and overall construction and decoration. Scientific layout planning based on kitchen area and optimized equipment configuration can help you save a considerable portion of investment costs.

4. What is commercial kitchen renovation?

Kitchen renovation refers to adding new equipment and functional modifications to the existing kitchen, mainly including three aspects:

1. Adding urgently needed equipment due to shortcomings in the initial preparation process.

2. Updating equipment due to untimely maintenance or prolonged usage.

3. Expanding the kitchen due to an increase in the number of kitchen users.

5. What is commercial kitchen design?

Kitchen design refers to reasonably arranging cabinets, kitchenware, and various kitchen appliances according to their shapes, sizes, and usage requirements, cleverly matching them to achieve kitchen utensil integration.

A good commercial kitchen design must focus on the kitchen's cuisine style, combined with on-site conditions and customer requirements for planning and design. It must fully respect the objective laws of kitchen production, enabling chefs and related staff to closely cooperate to improve work efficiency and save operating costs.
