Stainless steel kitchen equipment is the preferred choice for many professional chefs. It’s durable, sturdy, and easy to clean.
Unlike wood or plastic, stainless steel has no grooves where germs can hide. This makes it a good material for heavy-duty items and shelving for storage areas.
Water Dispensers
Stainless steel water dispensers offer a modern look and easy-to-clean convenience. They are built with food-grade 304 stainless steel to keep the water safe and fresh for your guests and staff to drink. The brushed finish is resistant to corrosion and easily wipes clean, making these dispensers a perfect addition to any kitchen. Choose a stand to save space on your counter or go for a wall-mounted version to fit in tight spaces.
Despite its hardy nature, stainless steel is also very lightweight, allowing for easier handling and movement within cramped restaurant environments. Stainless steel also resists moisture, preventing it from warping or rusting over time. For kitchens that are fitted near a pool or sea, however, great care must be taken to ensure that the stainless steel is made from 316 stainless steel, as this type of metal has been supplemented with molybdenum to make it rust-resistant even in salt air and chlorine conditions.
Stainless steel is also very simple to clean and sanitize, which is a necessity in any restaurant environment. Stainless steel tables and surfaces can be wet mopped, pressure washed, steam cleaned or sanitized with a variety of cleaners, all without compromising their resistance to corrosion. For more stubborn marks or stains, electropolishing and passivation treatments can be used to restore your stainless steel items back to like-new condition.
Beverage Dispensers
Stainless steel kitchen equipment like this stainless steel beverage dispenser combines the convenience of a cold drink dispensing system with the style and durability of stainless steel. This double tier unit features 2 tubes: an infuser tube for drink customization and an ice tube that cools without diluting. Its stainless lid and base enhance any buffet or station, and the clear body provides easy visibility of water levels.
Unlike other materials, utensils made of stainless steel are inert and do not react with the food that you cook or with the cleaning chemicals you use. Stainless steel utensils are also durable, and you can use them for years. They are also much safer than plastic utensils that often contain BPA, a chemical known to be harmful to humans.
Another advantage of stainless steel is its resistance to high temperatures, which is important for commercial cooking. The thicker the stainless steel used for a pan or saucepan, the better it will be at resisting shock and heat damage. When choosing stainless steel cookware, look for thickness of up to 2.5 mm to ensure quality. Stainless steel bep cong nghiep is also an excellent choice for heating liquids, as it produces a uniform heat and is dishwasher safe. It is also resistant to rust.
Ice Cream Machines
While not essential for every kitchen, an ice cream machine makes it easy to enjoy your favorite frozen treats year-round. The ice cream maker’s stainless steel bowl freezes ingredients evenly, yielding consistently creamy results. The double-insulated freezer base and mixing paddle are designed for mess-free use and are easily washable. The clear lid and simple controls make it easy to follow recipes or add mix-ins as the churning process continues.
While the Cuisinart ICE-21 may not have all the bells and whistles of other models, it’s a lightweight, affordable appliance that makes quality homemade ice cream in 20 minutes or less. The freezer base, mixer and paddle are designed to fit together with minimal assembly. As the ice cream maker spins, the paddle scrapes a layer of ice off the interior wall and incorporates it into the mixture, creating a smooth and creamy result.
If you want to create a variety of frozen treats, consider a multifunctional model that includes a yogurt function, incubating milk and your choice of starter culture for creamy, delicious, healthy homemade yogurt. A compressor ice cream machine with its own heavy freezer is also available, but it takes up more counter or cabinet space and requires advanced planning since the bowl needs to be pre-frozen before churning.
