The Restaurant Equipment List You Need to See - Part 1

The kitchen is the center of your restaurant business in St. Louis. Whether you are a new restaurant, or you’ve been around for a while and want to update your equipment, you’ll want high-quality equipment. The equipment in your kitchen needs to withstand the pressures of daily use. With careful planning and research, you can increase the efficiency in your Missouri kitchen.


Freezers & Refrigerators

If you have a commercial kitchen, you will need some type of unit to keep things cold. This helps prevent items from perishing quickly, preserves freshness, and provides cold food storage space.

Before you choose the unit that you need, you should consider the size of your restaurant and operations. No matter what unit you decide to go with, indoor or outdoor, custom shaped, large, or small - Fast Fix LLC can help. We can also assist with installation and then set up a plan for properly maintaining your unit.

Food Preparation Counters

This tool will be essential to your kitchen. Prep tables, counters, and cutting surfaces are essential to any commercial kitchen and come in various sizes. It's important to look for surfaces that are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is sturdy against corrosion, resists attack from food and meat juices, and can also stand up to the harsh cleaning products that you may use in your kitchen.

Slicers

It's important to have a sturdy tool that can cut meat, cheese, or other foods with speed and precision. If you need to purchase a slicer, think about how often you’ll need this tool first. If you only slice things infrequently, a manual food slicer may be a better option, however, if you will be doing large amounts of food, you may want to look for something more heavy duty. Electric slicers are great because they can save you labor.

Mixers

Does your operation involve baking or bread making? A commercial mixer is a requirement for your kitchen needs. It’s important to choose your mixer based on the volume of food that you’ll be mixing. If you will be mixing dense materials, a spiral mixer may be the best choice. For other types of mixing, a planetary mixer could be better.

Food Processors

Do you know how many types of food processors there are? There are actually four types: batch bowl, continuous feed, buffalo chopper, and combination. Each of these types is better for different food processes. Some are great for volume, others are great for continual cutting, and others are great for meat. Do your research and choose the one that works best with the types of foods you'll be serving.
