There are many staple pieces of equipment that all commercial kitchens need in order to be as productive as possible. Having a smooth running kitchen helps to create great quality meals in a timely manner, which means you need the right products to ensure your food preparation and serving is a success. However, how do you know which pieces of equipment you need, and how can you be sure your equipment does what it needs to work effectively?
What you need to consider
When researching and purchasing new equipment, you need to know your kitchen well enough to be able to make the right decisions. Here are a few things to consider before you begin your search.
Layout of your kitchen
Some kitchens are naturally bigger or smaller than others, so knowing the space you’ve got to work with helps you to determine the size of the equipment you need. Many of our commercial catering products here at Hupfer are available in a range of sizes to suit any kitchen and to help you get the most out of your equipment.
The dishes you’ll create
Whether you’re simply creating daily lunches or catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a busy restaurant, there may be different pieces of equipment you’d choose over another. For example, portioning work tables may be perfect for one establishment, but another may also require large servery counters, bain maries or food transport trolleys. Think about the food you’ll be creating and choose realistic equipment to prevent overcrowding your kitchen space or even having products you’ll rarely use.
What to look out for
The right products will make all the difference in your kitchen each day, so we’ve picked out some of the things you need to look out for when researching new pieces of equipment.
Check the material products are made from
The material of equipment says a lot about its durability. For equipment that lasts without breakage or breakdown, you should be looking at stainless steel or aluminium. Here at Hupfer, we pride ourselves on developing highly durable products that last, making them the perfect additions to your commercial kitchen.
Size and measurements
All products in our range have the correct dimensions and measurements to ensure you choose the right size for your kitchen. It’s important to professionally measure up your space and select equipment that fits well to get the most out of it. See the product and technical information on our website for each product.
Energy efficiency and sustainability
Making your kitchen as sustainable and as energy efficient as possible is a must to help the environment and save you money. As part of our holistic approach, we take the entire lifecycle of our products into account: from the extraction and production of raw materials to the design, manufacture and use of the products, and finally recycling. At the same time, we are always trying to optimise the energy efficiency of our equipment.
Our own high standards and the demand for energy-efficient equipment mean that our engineers are always keen to optimise the energy efficiency of existing products, you can be confident you’re making the best choice with Hupfer.
