Cooking & Food Preparation
Cooking & Food Preparation is the umbrella range for every appliance a commercial kitchen needs to turn raw ingredients into food ready to serve, covering three broad groups: cooking equipment (ovens, fryers, grills, hobs, bains marie and salamanders), food preparation equipment (mixers, slicers, prep tables and food processors), and speciality cooking appliances (pizza, pasta and regional cooking systems). It’s built for pubs, cafes, hotels, commercial kitchens, care homes and takeaways sourcing everything from a single combi oven to a full new-build kitchen fit-out.
Key specifications
Cooking & Food Preparation splits into three areas: cooking equipment (ovens, fryers, grills, griddles, hobs, bains marie and salamanders), food preparation equipment (mixers, slicers, prep counters and food processors) and speciality cooking appliances (pizza ovens, pasta cookers and regional cooking kit). The main buying factors are the same across all three: available power supply (single-phase 13A/32A vs three-phase), whether gas or electric suits the site, extraction and ventilation capacity, and footprint against cover numbers. Getting these right first time avoids costly re-wiring, Gas Safe re-certification or extraction upgrades after installation.
