Common problems in small commercial kitchens
Commercial kitchen equipment can make or break a food business – especially smaller enterprises. If your kitchen is equipped with the wrong type of product, you may find yourself dealing with some – or all of – the following problems:
- High labour costs: If your commercial kitchen equipment is overly complex and technical, it’s likely you might need more resources to train your staff.
- Crammed kitchens: Clunky equipment makes it hard for staff to move around and also reduce productivity. Causing frustrations within the team and flaws in food quality.
- Increased running costs: Above all, the energy efficiency of your outdated equipment probably increases the running cost. Modern appliances are made with better technology and are governed by tighter energy regulations to help contribute to lower energy consumption.

This allows all kitchen staff to feel confident producing top quality products without extensive training while helping you save on top-tier labour costs.

Make blast chilling is a breeze with Friginox
Established in 1973, Friginox is one of the oldest and most recognised leaders in blast chilling and refrigeration equipment. Such products are perfect for small commercial kitchens as they can solve a range of problems and speeds up the food preparation process. Here are some of its benefits:
Ergonomic design: Friginox features a new touchscreen panel that is incredibly easy to use and also helps reduce the overall footprint in your kitchen space. Better yet, selected blast chiller model has been designed to fit a combi oven on top so hot products can quickly and easily load into the blast chiller below. This saves space and reducing the risk of accidents involving hot trays.
Better quality of end product: Unlike domestic freezers, the Friginox reduces the size of ice crystals formed during the chilling process. This is important as the larger the crystal, the more damage they do to the structure of the food. This changes its integrity and causing products to become soggy. The Friginox is perfect for goods that require rapid cool down before service. It helps retain crisp textures and saves serving time.
