A BUYERS GUIDE TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT COMMERCIAL MICROWAVE<\/a> OVEN FOR YOUR BUSINESS.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Microwave ovens<\/a> are an essential part of every kitchen establishment. A microwave<\/a> can perform important functions such as heating frozen or chilled produce, which is at the heart of many menus in dining restaurants, pubs & hotels.<\/p>\n

Commercial microwaves<\/a> are quicker, more efficient & robust than domestic microwaves. They are built to withstand being used regularly every day, rather than a domestic microwave that will rarely be used.<\/p>\n

We provide the best commercial microwaves<\/a> on the market from all the best manufacturers. Efficient, safe & complete with warranties. Buying from Caterkwik<\/a> could never be easier.<\/p>\n

Microwaves<\/a> use waves to heat food at a frequency of around 2,500 MHz. When the waves are absorbed by water, fats or sugars, they\u2019re converted directly into heat. Micro waves are not absorbed by most plastics, glass or ceramics but they are reflected by metal. Unlike conventional ovens where heat is conducted from the outside of the food towards the centre, the radio waves \u2018excite\u2019 the water and fat molecules evenly throughout the food.<\/p>\n

Some establishments still make mistakes of thinking that a domestic microwave is good enough for commercial use in kitchens. However, these are mostly low power models & have just one heating element or magnetron. They are normally built from cheaper materials such as plastic & are designed for typical domestic use like in homes for instance. When used in commercial environments, these models take alot longer to heat or defrost foods & fail within a very short period of time. The warranty would also be invalid in such a situation.<\/p>\n

Commercial microwaves<\/a> have a much higher power rating (1000w – 2000w) which produce much faster & safer heating, essential in the catering industry. Commercial microwaves<\/a> are normally fitted with two powerful heating elements (magnetrons) which lets them operate at higher levels without wear & tear occurring. The power rating is accompanied by a much more sophisticated heating method, such as combination heating where the microwave has a convection oven setting. Commercial microwaves<\/a> are usually made from more robust materials such as stainless steel to withstand heavy duty use & they often have a variety of additional settings to allow caterers to perform safely & efficiently.<\/p>\n

Commercial Microwave ovens<\/a> offer professional caterers and chefs some unique benefits:<\/div>\n
