The Backbone of a High-Performance Kitchen
In a busy restaurant kitchen, efficiency, precision, and consistency are the foundation of every great dish. At Grazia Restaurant, the fast-paced environment demands more than just skill and fresh ingredients—it requires reliable, high-performance commercial kitchen equipment that delivers under pressure.
For Chef Joe Di Cintio, experience has taught him that durable, top-tier cooking equipment is essential for maintaining quality and efficiency during service. “Having worked in various professional kitchens over the years, I’ve come to rely on brands that prioritise performance and longevity,” he says. “For me, Waldorf kitchen equipment is a standout choice. Their gas cooktops offer consistent heat distribution, allowing for precision when searing, sautéing, or simmering.”
Precision Cooking with Waldorf
One of the most utilised appliances in Grazia’s kitchen is the Waldorf commercial pasta cooker. “In a high-volume restaurant like ours, where we prepare hundreds of meals daily, this high-efficiency pasta cooker is indispensable,” Joe explains. “Its continuous water refill system ensures a steady rolling boil, making it easy to cook pasta perfectly every time while minimising water loss and evaporation.”
When it comes to frying, the Waldorf twin pan deep fryer is a game-changer. “The dual pan functionality allows us to cook different dishes at precise temperatures simultaneously—whether it’s crispy zucchini fritters or golden, fluffy donuts,” says Joe. “The Waldorf’s fryer’s smart design ensures that excess flour and crumbs settle at the bottom without burning, keeping the cooking oil cleaner for longer and preserving the authentic flavours of our food.”
For steak lovers, nothing beats a high-performance chargrill. “Premium steaks require precise temperature control and fast heat recovery, especially during peak service times,” Joe notes. “The Waldorf heavy-duty chargrill delivers the perfect caramelisation and grill marks, ensuring every steak is cooked to perfection, time after time.”
Seamless Operations Beyond Cooking
A well-run kitchen isn’t just about cooking—it’s also about efficiency in cleaning and hygiene compliance. After a demanding service, the last thing a chef wants is a tedious cleanup process. That’s why Joe relies on his Wexiodisk commercial dishwasher from Moffat.
“This fully automatic, energy-efficient dishwasher has been a staple in my kitchen for over 15 years,” he shares. “It saves time, water, and labour costs, ensuring that every plate, pan, and utensil comes out spotless and ready for the next service.”
The Secret to Unforgettable Dining Experiences
At Grazia Restaurant, delivering fresh, made-to-order dishes requires more than just a skilled team. A well-organised kitchen, streamlined workflows, and dependable commercial cooking equipment make all the difference.
“In a professional restaurant kitchen, it’s not just about having talented chefs or top-tier ingredients—it’s about ensuring that every aspect of the kitchen runs seamlessly, from prep to plating,” says Joe. “That’s how we create unforgettable dining experiences at Grazia Restaurant.”
Whether it’s the reliability of Waldorf gas cooktops, deep fryers, and pasta cookers, or the efficiency of a Wexiodisk commercial dishwasher, investing in high-quality commercial kitchen equipment is the key to success in any hospitality business.
