Lincat Silverlink 6 Burner Gas Range Oven

Ranges and Island suites are still hugely popular despite the advance of the versatile and energy concious combi oven. From the top end island suite of Michelin-starred kitchens to the good old six burner oven serving out pub grub.

Energy savings could well be at the top of most people’s lists when it comes to choosing prime cooking equipment. According to a White Paper published by Catering for a Sustainable Future (CFSG), the total energy consumption of Britain’s catering industry is estimated to be in excess of 21,600 million kWh per year.

Over 30% of the energy is used purely in commercial catering establishments, with another 17% in hotel restaurants and more than 50% in non-commercial public sector catering. That equates to an awful lot of wasted cash and so the buying decision is often driven by energy cost considerations rather than concern about the environment.

Many caterers forget they are growing a business and overlook the possibility of future additions to the kitchen or larger replacements.

Building in flexibility will save money down the road. A partial refurbishment, for example, could see your 950mm-wide range oven cleaned up, restored and reinstalled into a 1050mm gap for another two years, after which it will need replacing. When the time comes for a new one, it simply slots in with no fuss.

You are investing in new catering equipment to improve your productivity. Part of that investment should be into regular service and maintenance because this will give you ‘best value for money’ by minimising breakdowns, maximising cooking efficiency and energy usage.

This will also help to prolong the working life of the equipment in your kitchen, which saves capital expenditure and monthly operating costs!
