Cafeteria equipment need to produce food for a large number of consumers. It needs to be
robust, durable, and easy to operate. The equipment should consume less electricity, improve the
productivity of food production operations, and must be eco-friendly. Last but not the least; it should
serve its purpose effectively.
Most kitchen equipment are operated electronically. There is a wide range of cooking, cutting,
baking, and cleaning equipment available for the kitchen staff.
Cooking range is the most versatile equipment operating on either LPG or electricity. The
name implies, it can perform a range of functions such as cooking, frying, boiling, grilling, and
baking.
Cafeteria freezer
A freezer is an appliance that keeps food frozen at
extremely low temperatures. Larger freezers are used to
keep enough food for a long period of time, or so
a restaurant, hotel, or school cafeteria can store leftover
food or keep enough to cook for a crowd of people.
Cafeteria Table
The most traditional mobile cafeteria tables come in lengths of 8-feet, 10-feet or 12-feet
and optional heights for elementary ages or middle to high school aged students.
Weighing Scales
A floor scale is a great tool for measuring large loads that are too hefty to be lifted on
the scale by hand. Most floor scales are equipped with on and off ramps that allow efficient loading
and unloading. Floor scales are well suited for industrial environments like warehouses and
factories.
Platform, counter and portion scales are types of scales commonly used in a receiving area.
Walk-in refrigerators and freezers are very large, insulated, enclosed spaces used to store
and/or display refrigerated or frozen food or other perishable goods.
Blender
Used to liquefy, smash, crush and blend foods quickly.
Microwave Oven
Uses invisible waves of energy called microwaves
to heat, reheat, defrost and cook foods.
Fryer
Some food items are prepared by immersing them in
heated oil in a fryer. There are two basic versions of a fryer
− Electric fryer and Gas fryer. The frying time and oil
temperature varies directly with the food type and the size of the
fryer. It consists of a fryer basket and heating element and a
thermostat controls a fryer.
The fryers are used to fry potato chips, Pooris (fried Indian
bread), doughnuts, begels, onion rings, shrimp, fish, chicken,
okra, and zucchini.
Mixers
The overhead motor vertical mixer is
most commonly used in commercial food
production units. Mixers are used for mixing
and blending. There are broadly two types
of mixers − table mounted and floor
mounted.
A deck oven is one of the two major varieties
of ovens found in most professional pastry kitchens (the other
being a convection oven), and is used primarily for bread baking.
It contains racks or rotisseries that can cook various meats
such as chicken, duck, lamb, etc. simultaneously and evenly. They
also come in baking deck and pizza deck variants. The number of
decks is generally up to four.
Griddles
They are mainly used for preparing breakfast items such as omelets, scrambled eggs, patties,
sandwiches, burgers, and pancakes. Normally, the residual grease needs to be wiped out occasionally
from the surface to prevent tempering. In case of steel griddles, caramelization occurs if the surface
is not kept clean. Teflon surface griddles are more durable and efficient.
They are used for grilling sandwiches in more creative and convenient way.
Steam tables are an open-top table with heated wells filled with water to keep foods hot for
service.
The serving counters even horizontally self-align on unlevel floors to create a level
countertop from end to end. The mobile modular equipment can be aligned in a straight line, U-
shaped or L-shaped or T-shaped or Serpentine.
CONCLUSION:
“Good kitchen equipment is expensive but most items last a lifetime and will pay for themselves over
and over again.”
