Refrigeration

.Refrigeration is a must for all Kitchen types. Whether it's a walk-in refrigeration unit, an upright fridge or an undercounter space-saving fridge, you will need something durable & easy-to-clean. If your main consideration is efficiency, why not check out our separate guide on Energy Efficient appliances?

We suggest the Medium Duty Upright Fridge from Arctica

If your height/floor space is limited, we suggest the Compact Refrigerated Prep Counter from Arctica

Freezers

Similar to refrigeration, freezers are obviously a must for kitchens! Freezers are a great way to save money by storing food for longer, but you’ll need to consider positioning, efficiency & climate class before you replace or upgrade your freezer.

To save floor space, we recommend the Jade Freezer 2 Door Counter from Williams

If you want more storage, we recommend the 370 Ltr Chest Freezer from Arctica

Fryers

Fryers are a great way of quickly cooking food in a high demanding kitchen. Whether it’s chips for a pub menu or fried chicken for a quick service restaurant; all of our fryers come in a range of widths to ensure you find the right fit for your kitchen model.

If you have space in your kitchen, we suggest the Lincat Standing Fryer

If you prefer a countertop fryer, we suggest the Chefmaster Countertop Electric Fryer

Ovens

Finding the right oven to suit a variety of functions can be a mind-boggling saga. The ‘connected kitchen’ technology, multi-function usage & hugely varying price ranges can be a minefield for the first time restauranteur. However, the Rational Combi Ovens are the new intelligent cooking system for all your hot food preparation needs in a commercial kitchen that allows you to cook with either steam, hot air or both.

We suggest the Rational iCombi Pro Electric Combination Ovento fulfil most regular cooking functions any kitchen would need, including a self-clean cycle & remote access!

Dishwashers

Dishwashers are a must-have in a kitchen. Even small-scale businesses that prefer a pair of marigolds & a large sink can find an efficient, quick & sleek commercial dishwasher to suit any budget on our website..our Winterhalter & Classeq brands have you covered..

We suggest the Classeq Dishwasher with Gravity Drain

Waste Management

Waste Management can be very cost effective if it is done correctly. Having a general waste bin, a recycling bin and a food bin can help you understand how much food you are wasting and how much packaging you are going through on a weekly basis. By doing this, you will be able to see where you need to cut down on wastage and this may save you money.

Mincers

Mincers are perfect for kitchens who like to make their owns burgers and sausages. They are a great way of saving costs from pre minced meat and can be used to finely dice vegetables which can save you time in the kitchen.

We suggest the Sirman TC8 Mincer

Slicers

Slicers are great for saving time in your kitchen. Whether you regularly serve high-quality cuts of meat or run a quick service, grab n go Deli or Bakery, a Slicer can be the difference during a lunchtime rush. Instead of grabbing a knife and a chopping board, it saves on smaller kitchen equipment essentials & our smaller Meat Slicers come with a relatively small footprint, meaning they can fit in the smallest of commercial kitchen operations.

We suggest the Chefmaster Medium Duty Slicer
