Design features and the difference between frying and baking cabinets
Picking up catering equipment, it is important to think over all the little things. Not only the quality and speed of service, but also the cost of their operation depends on the technical indicators of each installation. Kitchen equipment requires functional baking, frying and roasting technology.
Characteristic
Universal equipment for a restaurant or other catering point is needed in a hot shop. Frying cabinet performs almost all types of heat treatment: production of casseroles and second courses from chicken, meat, vegetables, fish; baking baked goods and pies. It defrosts food and warms up ready meals.
Independent working chambers are a serious plus of the oven. Each of them is provided with reliable thermal insulation, power switches and temperature sensors. This ensures optimal operating conditions for the device.
The operating temperature range depends on the model. The popular Abat roasting cabinet heats up to 270 degrees, and the emergency thermostat will work when heated to 320 degrees Celsius.
The main difference between bakery cabinets lies in their design. The bakery cabinet is supplemented with a steam humidifier, which prevents the dough from drying out. The specialized apparatus is intended only for the production of baked goods.
Classification
Such dining room equipment can use electricity or gas as an energy source. The electric roasting cabinet is characterized by simplicity of installation and maintenance, precise adjustment. Gas units are equipped with burners, connected to the mains or cylinders.
Devices are distinguished by the number of sections, which is reflected in the marking. For example, a frying cabinet ШЖЭ-2 has 2 autonomous sections, and a frying cabinet ШЖЭ-3 has one more. In addition, there are multi-section units, and compact equipment for a cafe can solve the problem thanks to one oven.
Depending on the type of internal heat exchange, cabinets with natural and forced convection are distinguished. Devices with forced heat exchange are equipped with fans, which help to quickly warm up the air in the chambers.
Selection options
When looking for a suitable model, it is necessary to take into account the assortment and traffic of the establishment. The equipment for the dining room should have several chambers for the prompt preparation of various dishes. For small establishments, a single-chamber oven is suitable, which can be bought cheaper.
It is imperative to pay attention to the temperature regime of the device, the type of power supply and the manufacturer. Frying cabinet ShZhE consumes a lot of energy, therefore it requires a three-phase connection.
The variety of modern technology greatly simplifies the choice.
