Food Equipment for Your Home or Commercial Kitchen

Having food equipment can make preparing meals more accessible and faster. Whether you are preparing a family meal or a special dessert, a wide range of options are available at Federal Hospitality Equipment. You will find cooking equipment such as microwaves, steamers, dunnage racks, and more.

Microwaves

Using microwaves for food equipment is an effective and efficient way to cook, reheat and defrost. They can operate in restaurants, cafes and food service operations.

In commercial kitchens, microwaves are one of the most maintenance-free equipment. They can be used to reheat and defrost foods and to boost the temperature of holding cabinets.

Commercial microwaves are generally equipped with an automatic shut-off device. They also have automatic voltage sensors that adjust their operation based on the voltage input. In addition, they usually have an audible cooking completion indicator. Some microwaves also feature Braille keypads.

Light-duty microwaves are typically 1000 to 1200 watts, while heavy-duty microwaves require more than 1200 watts. A 2200-watt microwave will take about 1 minute and 50 seconds to cook.

Countertop Mixers and Slicers

Whether you're looking to replace your dated countertop appliances or impress your dinner guests, there's a countertop mixer or slicer to suit your fancy. The best countertop mixers and slicers are easy to clean and don't require much maintenance. Some of the top manufacturers include Bosch, Hamilton Beach and KitchenAid. All are rated highly for performance, quality and value. They can be in many sizes, from small countertop mixers to massive commercial units. They come with various features and benefits, including stainless steel housings, and various accessories, including food chutes, mixing bowls and jumbo measuring cups. They are also available in colour schemes, including black, red and stainless steel. They also have one of the highest warranties in the business, so you can rest easy knowing your countertop mixer or slicer will work for you for years to come.

Steamers

Whether you're cooking for a small restaurant or a large banquet hall, a food steamer is an outstanding appliance. It helps keep foods tender, retaining colour, vitamins and nutrients. It also reduces labour costs, eliminating the need to lift heavy stock pots. It's also a great way to cook rice, potatoes and seafood.

Steamers come in a variety of sizes and features. A small floor-model steamer works well in low-volume food service facilities. Depending on the size of the unit, it can hold up to three, five or six pans. A giant steamer holds up to seven 18-inch-by-26-inch sheet pans.

For the most efficient cooking, choosing a steamer that can cook a wide variety of foods is essential. The most common steam cooks are vegetables and meats. Steaming helps retain its vitamins and nutrients while delivering a more prosperous, healthier taste.

Dunnage Racks

Keeping your food products clean, sanitary, and secure is a top priority for any commercial kitchen. Dunnage racks are an excellent solution to this problem. They are designed to store heavy products off the floor, keeping your kitchen crew safe.

Dunnage racks are available in a wide variety of styles and sizes. They are ideal for storing heavy items and for stockpiling bulk ingredients. These racks are typically made of aluminium, plastic, or thermoplastic polymers. These materials are rust-resistant and easy to clean.

Dunnage racks are also available in mobile models designed to transport food supplies and appliances. They come with caster wheels, making it easy to relocate or reconfigure storage spaces.

Dunnage racks are also available in louvred models, which are ideal for keeping foods such as ice cream off the floor. In addition, the rounded edges are designed to prevent the tearing of food packaging.

Chef Knives and Cutting Boards

A good chef's knife and a cutting board will be helpful kitchen tools for any home cook. These tools make meal prep more straightforward and less stressful. They also are much safer than dull knives. If you plan to buy a knife, you should spend extra on a quality one. A high-quality knife will ensure you enjoy using your kitchen tool for years.

Vegetables are an essential part of human nutrition. They contain carbohydrates and minerals that are important for healthy body functioning. Vegetables vary in taste and appearance, so it's necessary to prepare them properly. A chef's knife is a good choice for framing salad bar items. It also makes meal planning easier.

The best chef's knife for your cutting board is made from high-quality German steel. It's also a good idea to have a knife with a full tang for safer chopping.
