Commercial Microwaves
Commercial microwaves can be used to defrost items quickly, reheat foods that have been cooked already, and warm delicate foods such as sauces and chocolate. They're also a popular choice for employee break areas, hotel rooms, and other settings requiring an easy cooking option.
Commercial microwaves help cooks quickly prepare meal components, and for some ingredients, can do so without sacrificing quality. When warming soups, dips, sauces, and chocolates, a commercial microwave may save valuable time in foodservice operations. Restaurant microwaves can also retherm precooked foods faster than most water baths or steamers, and they efficiently defrost frozen foods while speeding up the thawing process and reducing the threat of bacteria.
Commercial microwave ovens are compatible with almost any kitchen and can be installed on countertops, underneath prep areas, or mounted above work stations. These units help simplify operations for users, as many models provide the option to program procedures for a variety of menu items, including stages to defrost, cook, and hold foods. Commercial microwaves are available in light-duty units for bistros, taverns, and pubs; medium-duty models that can handle the workload of most commercial kitchens; and heavy-duty options designed for schools, commissaries, healthcare facilities, and other high-volume operations.
