Purchasing a refrigerator for a Commercial Restaurant Kitchen


A Refrigerator is one of the most basic elements of your commercial kitchen. Buying the best refrigerator for your kitchen is very important to store the perishable goods so that you can serve your customers without any delays. There is a refrigerator or a fridge in every household but the refrigeration needs of a commercial kitchen are way more extensive and cannot be covered by just any refrigerator. You should be well aware of the characteristics of a good refrigerator before you go out to buy one for your commercial kitchen.

Capacity

Refrigerators for commercial kitchens are usually larger than the ones used in households. A large sized refrigerator means that it is capable of evenly cooling the contents of the freezer. It is absolutely necessary that you look at a variety of models before you make the final purchase. You don’t want to end up buying a refrigerator only to realize later that there was a better model available in the market, so make sure that you have done your homework well.
If you need more space in your refrigerator then a model with smaller cabinets might be perfect for your kitchen. These cabinets are not only spacious but they also allow you to organize goods categorically inside your refrigerator which will make it easier for your staff to find the food items that they are looking for.
Make sure that you consider the available space when you buy a refrigerator. Buying a refrigerator that is too big for your needs will not only take more space, but will also consume more energy.

Energy Efficient

Commercial kitchen refrigerators are larger and more spacious, and therefore they consume more energy which will reflect in your already high electricity bill. Buying a refrigerator that is energy efficient will save you big bucks in the long run even if they cost a little more than other refrigerator models. Energy efficient models are usually highlighted by the manufacturers so make sure that you look for a model that not only fits your kitchen needs but is also energy efficient.

Low Maintenance Cost

Maintenance of a commercial kitchen refrigerator can cost a lot more than maintenance of a normal refrigerator, therefore buying a brand new model is always a wiser choice. Buying used refrigerator might seem like a better option in terms of savings but maintenance of used models will make them cost as much as a new model. The best way to control the maintenance cost is to buy a new model with warrantee. Make sure that you check your refrigerator periodically so that if there is any issue it can be resolved right at the beginning before it gets out of hand and costs you more.
Commercial kitchen refrigerators will prove to be an asset and will take you a long way in successfully running and organizing your kitchen. Fresher ingredients means better tasting dishes which will subsequently reflect in the success and popularity of your restaurant.

Blended Beverage Equipment

Blended Ice Cup

Blended beverages and smoothies use to be reserved for the summer months or those lucky enough to live in states where temperatures rarely drop below 40 degrees in the dead of winter. But now consumers are drinking blended frozen beverages year long and are showing no signs of slowing down.

MB8 BICNew, inventive or seasonal beverages are a major draw for customers, especially those among the younger demographic. Convenience store operators report an increase of 45% in frozen dispensed beverages in the first half of 2013 and only expect it to continue to grow.

Smoothies are a popular drink for innovation. According to Technomic, they grew by 8.5 percent in 2012. However, frozen blended coffees give a high profit margin, estimated at 65 to 70 percent according to a recent Mintel research.
So how do you make blended frozen beverages profitable while meeting consumer supply and flavor demand options? The Multiplex Blend-In-Cup all-in-one convenient footprint provides the solution. It's so easy to use you can be up and running as a crew-serve or self-serve beverage destination in no time. With the easyToUCHTM icon based touch screen, making a drink is as easy as the press of a button. Everything you need to operate the machine from making a drink to training to cleaning can all be accomplished through this intuitive control panel.

Take the guesswork and the mess out of making delicious and nutritious smoothies, frappes, slush drinks, blended ice beverages, cocktails and so much more.

Cleaning your Commercial Deep Fryer

how to clean a deep fryer
You should clean the tank of your commercial deep fryer on a daily basis. It sounds like a messy job, but in point of fact it isn’t so dreadful.

Here’s a breakdown of what to do:

  1. Adopt a zen-like attitude if possible. Find the freedom inherent in duty.
  2. Turn off the fryer and unplug it. Safety first, kids. Or actually, in this case, second.
  3. Empty the contents of the filter or crumb-catch into a fire-proof container.
  4. Wait for the oil to cool down to at least 150° F and drain it.
  5. Remove fry baskets, basket hangers and the tank rack.
  6. Remove all loose debris and scrub all surfaces with a cleaning brush.
  7. For tough buildup, scrub with an abrasive pad.
  8. Use a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue.
  9. Refill with oil.
  10. Clean and dry fry baskets, tank rack and basket hangers before putting them back.
  11. Despite the fact that this wasn’t actually that hard, be sure to complain about it enough to maybe get a drink on the house or something like that.
So that’s that for your daily fryer cleaning regimen. Not too bad, right? Additionally, once a week you should give your fryer a more thorough cleaning:
  1. After draining the oil, use warm water, dishwashing detergent and a degreaser to scrub the tank.
  2. Drain the soapy water.
  3. Rinse with water and vinegar to be sure no soap is left over.
  4. Rinse again with water.
If you have any repair service or would like to set up a professional planned maintence please contact us at 800-252-5892.  We work on every major brand and can also supply replacement parts.

Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Tips


Why go for Exhaust Cleaning?
If you are running a commercial kitchen, then you would require exhaust cleaning on a regular basis. As grease and dirt builds up in the exhaust hood, bacteria and other contaminants soon find their way in. Eventually, this leads to the growth of mould and mildew.
Apart from the pollution aspect, exhaust cleaning is required to keep the kitchen exhaust working fine. A commercial kitchen is significantly heated as compared to a regular one, and if the exhaust hood is blocked in anyway, the whole place can literally go up in smoke.
Finally, exhaust cleaning is required because it falls under food and kitchen safety regulations. Although not a legal requirement, it will give a negative impression of your business practices. Moreover, your insurance provider may also ask you to show evidence that you have kept the exhaust well maintained.
For all these reasons, exhaust cleaning is extremely necessary.

When to Clean the Kitchen Exhaust?

As far as the legal aspect is concerned, laws of different places differ as to when you should opt for exhaust cleaning in a commercial kitchen. But generally, you have to carry out this procedure at least once a year.
Moreover, how often you should clean the kitchen hood also depends on the amount of cooking done in the room. The larger your business, the more cooking will be done in the kitchen, which means you have to clean the exhaust more frequently.

How to do it?

The exhaust hood, fan, and duct can be cleaned in 2 ways. You can either take a DIY approach, or contact a professional company to perform this service for you.
If you are taking the first approach, you have to start off by turning the exhaust fan off and halting all cooking activities to allow the exhaust to be cooked. You can unplug the fan or trip the breaker that gives it power.
You will require ammonia and a power steam cleaner to perform the job. A high-powered cleaner is required to tackle the heavy dirt and grease accumulation in a commercial kitchen, and you can always rent one from a hardware store. However, if you have to get your exhaust system cleaned regularly, it is a good investment to purchase a steam cleaner.
While you are doing the cleaning, make sure that all the kitchen surfaces including and surrounding the stoves should be well covered with plastic sheets or old newspapers.
Finally, if you are running a large business, then professional cleaning will be a better option for you. The larger the kitchen, the more expertise required to clean the exhaust system. However, do make sure that you hire only a certified cleaning company.

Essential Commercial Kitchen Equipment


When it comes to commercial kitchens, most people imagine it like James Bond’s car – fully-loaded with high tech gadgets and equipment. Have you ever imagined how useless some of that technology actually is and how they could have saved the millions they spent on those things? Well, Mr. Bond may not be on a budget but most of the restaurant owners are.
So, the very first thing you need to manage your restaurant budget is to make a proper, streamlined list in order to cut down all the unintentional and unnecessary expenses. What happens is that most of the restaurant owners are unable to resist the urge to buy every equipment/appliance they find in the store.  While most of this equipment may be like innovative gadgets that can reduce time and effort required for a job, they won’t be much helpful for smaller budgets.
So, before you end up helplessly spending all your money on things you don’t need, here is a streamlined list of necessary equipment to keep your temptations from straying in the store.

Cooking Range and Ovens

Commercial kitchen or domestic, you definitely need a cooking range. However, when shopping for an oven or cooking range, make sure you know the number of people you are likely to serve at a time. For most of the start-ups, a medium range stove or oven would be more than enough. For start-ups, it is best to stick to gas ranges as electric ovens can double your electricity expense and they also take a longer time to heat up.

Grills and Griddle

Most of the kitchens do require deep fryers and grills, more specific range such as Panini grill may not be necessary for everyone. You can choose a grill with a thinner sheet as it requires less heating time and energy. The thicker sheet grill, on the other hand, is more appropriate for larger kitchens as it can spread the heat more evenly over the large area.

Preparation Area

Preparation area is a must-have for all kinds and sizes of commercial kitchen. This is where the food is processed. To make things easier and faster, you must find a food processor with all the required features along with a proper mixer/blender and professional slicer. Moreover, this must be placed closer to storage shelves where most of the utensils are kept.

Cold Storage

Similarly, cold storage is also a necessary requirement for all kinds of commercial kitchens. Of course, the most heavy duty and high-tech refrigerator is not what every restaurant requires. Go for a medium range but top quality refrigerator which will be enough to meet your cold storage requirements. It is best to avoid spending on a walk-in freezer or refrigerator unless you need to store a lot.

Washing Station

A washing station may not sound like a necessity for the overly-frugal restaurant owners here. However, it is a onetime investment that can save the cost of hiring extra staff members for the job. Besides, depending on the area your kitchen is located in, the local laws might require you to have proper hand washing and dishwashing equipment.

Commercial Refrigeration Cleaning Tips

Simply wiping off the dust every day is a good way to keep a daily check on the compressor, but to really get into the grit you need to incorporate a more in-depth cleaning method. Follow the below steps at least once every month and no more than once every other week.


SAFETY NOTE:
Always turn off your circuit breaker  while you perform any maintenance on your commercial refrigeration unit.
Walk-In Coolers 

• Turn off the circuit breaker that connects to your walk-in cooler.
• Assign this task to a two-person team.
• Cover and seal all of the contents in the cooler.
•  Find a cardboard box, a bucket or any other sturdy receptacle that can be used to catch dust and debris. Place a damp cloth on the bottom of the receptacle. This will be used to catch and keep the dust in, instead of blowing around.
• Use a shop vacuum with a nozzle to clean the surface of the condenser thoroughly. Let the vacuum run for about 20 seconds after the surface has been cleaned. This is to make sure that all the dust has travelled down the nozzle and into the vacuum’s tank.
• Position one person behind the condenser and have them hold the prepped dust-catching receptacle just behind the condenser’s vent.
• Reverse the air flow of the shop-vac and blow air into the condenser unit, blasting out dust that has settled inside.
• Wipe up any excess dust that has settled on any surfaces in the cooler.
• Mop the cooler floor and wipe down the walls.

Pizza Prep Tables and Chef Bases

• Disconnect from power.
• Remove the condenser’s grill cover.
• Remove any bolts or screws that are holding the compressor to the frame rails.
• Slide the compressor out.
• Use a stiff bristle brush to clean off dirt and dust from the condenser’s coils.
• Use a shop vacuum to clean out the interior area where the compressor sits.
• Vacuum the coils to free any additional dust.
• Reverse the vacuum’s air flow and blow off any additional dust on the coils.
• Slide the compressor back in and re-install the compressor to the frame.
• Wipe off the grill cover with a damp sponge and dry.
• Replace the grill cover.
• Wipe off all counter tops.
• Sweep and mop up the floor area where the cleaning took place.

Reach-In Refrigerator

• Disconnect from power.
• Assign this task to a two-person team.
• Make sure that all of the food inside and outside of the unit is well covered and sealed.
• Find a cardboard box, a bucket or any other receptacle that can be used to catch dust and debris. Place a damp cloth on the bottom of the receptacle. This will be used to catch and keep the dust in, instead of blowing around.
• Use a shop vacuum with a nozzle to clean the surface of the condenser thoroughly. Let the vacuum run for about 20 seconds after the surface has been cleaned. This is to make sure that all the dust has travelled down the nozzle and into the vacuum’s tank.
• Position one person behind the condenser and have them hold the prepped dust-catching receptacle just behind the condenser’s vent.
• Reverse the air flow of the shop-vac and blow air into the condenser unit, blasting out dust that has settled inside.
• Wipe off the grill cover of the condenser.
• Wipe off all outer surfaces of the refrigeration unit, sweep and mop around the cleaning area.
