Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Cooking Equipment

What is commercial cooking equipment?

Commercial cooking equipment is the essence of restaurant and foodservice equipment. Without these large-scale, heavy-duty appliances, traditional cooking would be a much more tedious job. Commercial cooking equipment can be found in nearly every restaurant, as well as schools, food trucks, catering companies, health care facilities, and any other foodservice establishment. Although some of the cooking equipment like microwaves, toasters, and countertop ovens look like your average residential appliances, they can be much more powerful. With more power, comes more restrictions, training, and responsibility.

Many of these units are certified for both professional kitchens and residential kitchens.

Can you use commercial cooking equipment in your home?

The short answer is no. Although commercial cooking equipment is similar to residential cooking equipment, they have significant differences that could cause a lot of trouble in your home.

  • Noise – Because commercial equipment is designed to be more powerful and produce higher volumes of food, they require larger, compressors (refrigeration) and/or loud ventilation hoods. These products run more frequently, thus can make noise throughout the night and run up utility costs.
  • Sizing Issues – The sizing of commercial cooking equipment is designed to fit in commercial kitchens, which are larger and more spacious than residential kitchens. Because of this fact, fitting a commercial oven or range in your home is very difficult. Just getting the appliance into your house will be difficult because commercial equipment have much larger dimensions than your typical home appliances. Also, commercial shipping does not work the same as residential shipping either. Most deliveries require a loading dock, forklift, or other shipping equipment to safely unload and install equipment.
  • Electrical Connections – Commercial cooking equipment is meant for constant, heavy-duty use, meaning they need more power than your normal residential appliances. A lot of professional cooking equipment use significantly higher voltages and BTUs than anything you would find at home, so running a commercial grade oven in your home could instantly blow fuses and damage your home’s electrical system. This could lead to extra unwanted expenses.
  • Gas Connections – Gas-powered appliances can be very difficult to install. Even if you have the proper gas lines installed, typically the incoming gas connection on commercial ranges is larger than residential ranges. Since most commercial ranges have pilot lights that are continuously lit for each burner and the oven, more gas is being used, which runs up utility costs.
  • Safety Precautions – Because commercial equipment is expected to used in professional kitchens, the safety considerations are vastly different than residential models. These powerful appliances get hotter and require more clearance space to safely operate. Even if you can provide enough clearance space, you would need to invest in the proper stainless steel wall coverings and counters to surround the commercial equipment.
  • Warranty Void - Warranties can be an influential factor during the purchasing process to ensure that you don't have to pay for costly repairs. However, modifying equipment or using it in unintended methods may lead to warranty void. Most manufacturers of commercial cooking equipment will not provide warranty coverage for a unit installed in a private residence. A voided warranty will lead to any repairs needed being paid fully out of your pocket. Additionally, using commercial grade equipment in your household may effect home insurance policies.
  • Cleaning and Maintenance – Commercial kitchen equipment requires more frequent and deeper cleaning maintenance than residential equipment. Home ovens have self-cleaning cycles, and most refrigerators just need to be occasionally wiped down or condenser cleaning. Cleaning for commercial kitchen equipment is more complicated and may require some disassembling to thoroughly clean. These maintenance requirements aren't a major concern for a kitchen with a trained staff, but for a family home, a little neglect can lead to problems and repairs on an already expensive machine.
