Top Equipment For Your Commercial Kitchen In 2022
Businesses working in the food industry know how important it is to choose the right equipment for their foodservice operation. Optimizing efficiency back-of-house and front-of-house with a few thoughtful equipment decisions ensures that team members can prep, cook, bake, wash and execute all aspects of the restaurant easily. To help achieve a smoother and more efficient operation, our team created a list of essential products to put in your commercial kitchen or restaurant in 2022.
Versatile Warmers
IntelliServ® Warmers provide the flexibility and functionality you expect for exceptional performance all day long. This rethermalizer heats food from a chilled state through the HAACP danger zone to a safe serving temperature quickly. This means gravies, sauces, or proteins can be heated and served from the same pan – no extra dishes. Plus, our temperature-sensing thermostats ensure food product doesn’t burn to your insets, which simplifies end-of-day cleanup.
Top reasons to add an IntelliServ Warmer to your kitchen or restaurant:
- Warm up to 6 quarts in 8” of space
- Customize for topping, finishing, or platescaping with pumps, ladles, or squeeze bottles
- Digital display provides instant feedback of heat setting and status
- Precise temperature controller and innovative design ensures accurate holding of delicate soups and sauces from the first serving to the last
- NSF listed rethermalizer – heat and serve from the same unit and quickly heat to a safe serving temperature before bacteria has an opportunity to develop

Conserving Water
Perpetual-flow dipper well sinks often used to place utensils for quick cleaning between uses, can waste a lot of energy and water. Our heated ConserveWell® utensil holders provide an eco-friendly alternative to continuous-flow dipper wells by using only 600 gallons of water a year compared to continuous-flow dipper wells which can use up to 500 gallons of water a day. They also ensure that utensils are safely held above 140°F to prevent bacteria growth – an added bonus for maintaining guest safety while saving money on water and energy.
Top reasons to add a ConserveWell to your kitchen or restaurant:

- Convenient key slot mounting brackets make removal for cleaning quickly and easy
- Holds knives, scoops, spoons, tongs, and other short-handled serving utensils
