1.1. Cooking Equipment
1.1.1. Open elements (Burners)
- electric coil or gas flames. -fastest to heat and can be turned of after
short use. - space limited- one pot per burner.
1.1.2. Flattop Or Hot Top (lightweight)
-Burner covered with steel plate.
-more cook space is available.
-will support moderately heavy weights.
1.1.3. Heavy Duty Flattop
-Burner covered with cast plate.
-top support many heavy pots.
-set burners for different level and adjust cooking heat
by moving pot to different spots on the top.
1.1.4. Induction cooktops
-works by magnetically agitating the molecule in steel or iron cookware so that the cookware becomes hot.-much less energy is used and the kitchen stays cooler (only the pots and pans and their contents become hot).-no hot surfaces or open flames-only iron and steel pots can be used (pot and pans made of aluminium sandwich between layers of stainless steel.)-greatly reduced power bills.
Gas cooktops
Electric cooktops
1.2. Oven Conventional Ovens
Operate simply by heating air in an enclosed space.
Convection Ovens Contain fans that
circulate the air and distribute the heat rapidly throughout the interior.
Revolving Ovens Slow-cook-and- hold ovens Combination steamer ovens Barbecue ovens or smoke ovens Infrared or reconstituting ovens Microwave ovens
Combination Steamer OvenCombination Steamer Oven
Offers the health benefits of steam cooking to foods that are roasted, grilled and even baked.
It helps reduce the fat in many kinds of meat and poultry— without compromising on flavor, or appearance.
A unique combination of conventional heat with superheated steam makes this healthy way of cooking possible.
It surrounds the food, transferring heat as the steam condenses and melts fat away.
Barbecue Oven / Smoke Oven
oDependable and energy efficient, gas rotisseries
offer a unique opportunities to simultaneously cook
and display a variety of foods.
Infrared / Reconstituting Oven
-Cook foodstuff like pizza by infrared radiation
-Enable to bake a cake just about 20 minutes
Microwave Oven
--Oven expel the microwave radiation, about 2450 MHz.
-The molecule of H2O, grease, and sugar in that food absorb the energy from the microwave of electric heating process
1.3. Broilers And Salamanders
1.4. Grills
1.5. GriddlesFoodservices use either gas or electric griddles.

Pressure fryers
1.7 Steam Cookers
Types of steam cookers.1. Pressure steamers.
Cook food under a pressure.Low-compression – compartmented units operating at 5 to 7
psi (pounds per square inch). - high volume production. - hold up to six 12” x 20” pans in each compartment . - one to three compartment models
are available
High-compression - compartment units operating at 15 to 17 psi. - use smaller pans but cook much more rapidly. - one compartment models are available.
Pressureless or convection steamer.Food do not cooked under pressure.Closed system – allow the steam to build pressure inside the
cooking compartment.Since pressure does not build up, the door of the compartment can be opened at anytime.
