Cooking Equipment Guides
When choosing a grill, operators should determine what type suits the menu and operation.
Ranges are multipurpose pieces of cooking equipment that serve as a staple in most foodservice operations. A range top often is the most used piece of equipment in a kitchen cook line.
Grills have heat sources located below the cooking grate, while griddle controls determine how much thermal energy is stored.
Maintaining grills and griddles is important from a safety standpoint since grease buildup is a big fire hazard.
Combination steamer-convection ovens, referred to as combi ovens, are chef-driven pieces of equipment. These units can provide multiple functions in one piece of equipment, with the ability to smoke, roast, fry, steam and bake items.
