Why is catering equipment maintenance a necessity?
To maintain electrical appliances
Induction units, electric cookers, electric ovens, and electric kettles are a few appliances that are integral to commercial kitchens. Unlike gas appliances, maintaining electrical appliances should be treated with priority. During the maintenance process, the engineers will check the temperature control capacity, cleanliness, and condition of the wires and plugs to ensure their complete safety.
A visual inspection is recommended every six months to avoid unwanted short circuits and risks.
To maintain gas appliances
Gas appliances like ovens, combi ovens, fryers and grills are used continuously throughout the day to prepare food. Proper maintenance is thus necessary. It helps to avoid emergency breakdowns. During the inspection, if the engineers find yellow or orange coloured flames instead of the standard blue flames, then the same is appropriately fixed before using the same equipment for the following catering service.
To check the ventilation and extraction equipment
Commercial kitchens use ventilation and extraction equipment to extract the hot fumes emitted during cooking. The air inside the kitchen is purified with a properly maintained ventilation system and equipment. These equipment pieces should be maintained properly to remove germs, viruses, and odours from the kitchen.
Hiring engineers will help you avoid fat residues and grease buildup in the inlets and outlets of the extraction equipment. Regular cleaning and maintenance will also help prevent these buildup issues.
To maintain the combi ovens
Hire trained engineers, and they will inspect the combi ovens properly. Combi ovens are one of the most versatile and trusted catering equipment in every commercial kitchen. Since these ovens allow cooking with a combination of steam and hot air convection separately and in a combined manner, it saves the catering business money and time.
