How to choose a commercial cooker

To choose an industrial cooker, start with the energy available at your premises: gas, or a 230 V or 400 V three-phase supply, depending on the electric or induction model. In line cookers, the series indicates the depth (600, 700 or 900), and modules of the same depth line up in the cooking line. The 100 series countertop burners are more compact, with a depth of 427 mm.

Frequently asked questions about commercial cookers

What is the difference between a commercial cooker and a professional cooker?

In catering, both terms are commonly used for cookers designed for professional use.

Do the gas cookers work with natural gas?

It depends on the model. Where the product page says so, the gas cooker is supplied set up for propane-butane and comes with natural gas injectors. If the product page does not specify it, ask us before buying.

What power supply do the electric and induction cookers need?

The 2-plate electric cooker and the 1-zone induction hob run on 230 V. The 4-plate cooker and the 2-zone induction hob run on 400 V three-phase.

What is an industrial cooker?

It is a piece of cooking equipment built for the continuous work of a catering business. Its burners or plates are more powerful than those of a domestic cooker, the structure is stainless steel and the dimensions follow depth series so it can be lined up with other equipment. Our catalogue includes gas cookers with 1 to 6 burners, electric cookers and induction cookers.

What is the difference between a professional and a domestic cooker?

A professional cooker is designed to cook for many hours in a row and with large pans. On our gas cookers each burner ranges from 3.3 to 18 kW, depending on the model, and the units are made in modular sizes to build a complete cooking line with griddles, fryers or ovens.

Which professional cooker does a restaurant need?

It depends on the menu, the number of services and the energy available at the premises. As a guide, a bar with a small kitchen can usually manage with a countertop industrial cooker with 1 or 2 burners; a small restaurant with 4 burners; and a high-volume kitchen with 6 burners and an oven in a freestanding professional cooker.

What are the advantages of an industrial gas cooker?

The flame adjusts instantly, the power per burner is high and it does not depend on your contracted electrical power. That is why industrial gas cookers are the most common in catering. On the other hand, they need a suitable gas installation and fume extraction.

When is it better to choose an electric or induction cooker?

When the premises have no gas installation or one cannot be fitted, and for bars or small kitchens. The induction cooker heats the pan directly, which must be induction-compatible. Before choosing, check whether your supply is 230 V or 400 V three-phase.

What is the difference between a countertop and a freestanding cooker?

The countertop cooker sits on a bench or neutral unit and leaves the space underneath free. The freestanding cooker stands on the floor and has an oven or an open cabinet underneath.

What do the 600, 700 and 900 series mean?

The series indicates the approximate depth of the unit in millimetres. Units in the same series have the same depth and working height, so they can be placed in line. As well as those three, there are compact 100 series burners, 427 mm deep, and a 45 cm deep range for narrow worktops.

How many burners does a professional cooker need?

As many as the pans you need to keep going at the same time at the busiest moment. As a guide, 1 or 2 burners serve as support alongside other equipment, 4 burners cover a small kitchen and 6 burners are the usual format for a full-service restaurant.

How to choose an industrial cooker with oven?

First decide whether you want a gas or electric oven, and then the size of the chamber: the extra-large oven models take GN 2/1 trays. Also bear in mind the number of burners and the total width, which on our cookers with oven ranges from 80 cm to 1.20 m.

What should you check before buying an industrial cooker?

The type of gas or electrical voltage at your premises, the size of the space (width, depth and height), the total power of the unit, the extraction hood and the access for delivery, because freestanding cookers can weigh more than 100 kg. If in doubt, contact us before you buy.

How long does shipping take?

Commercial cookers ship in 3 to 5 days.
