Your ice machine runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year. That makes it one of the hardest-working pieces of equipment in your kitchen or bar, and one of the biggest energy users. Scotsman has moved its Prodigy ELITE ice machines to R290, a natural propane refrigerant, and the change affects more than just the spec sheet. It affects your utility bill, your service calls, and how long your machine lasts.

Hobart makes several mixer sizes, but three come up most often in commercial kitchens: the 20 qt for lighter daily prep, the 30 qt for steady mid-volume work, and the 60 qt for high-output kitchens. The right one depends less on your busiest rush and more on what you're mixing on a typical day. Here's a closer look at how they compare.

If you've been to a recent Traulsen training, you know there's a lot of exciting news across their lineup. Whether you're outfitting a high-volume restaurant, a school cafeteria, or a healthcare facility, here's a quick breakdown of where each series shines - and what's new.

When it comes to catering, buffets, and food service, flexibility and reliability are key. That’s why American Metalcraft’s BuffetBoost collection is turning heads in the industry. These innovative units are the first commercial battery-powered food warmers, designed to give you the freedom to serve hot, delicious food anywhere - without the restrictions of cords or limited outlets.

In a busy commercial kitchen, speed and food safety are critical. Restaurants, bakeries, caterers, and institutional kitchens often need to cool hot food quickly without sacrificing quality or safety. This is where blast chillers become an essential piece of equipment. Blast chillers rapidly reduce the temperature of cooked food, helping kitchens maintain food safety standards while preserving texture, flavor, and freshness. In this guide, we’ll explain what a blast chiller is, how blast chilling works, and why many professional kitchens rely on this technology.

When speed, consistency, and flexibility matter, MerryChef speed ovens continue to set the standard. Known as the #1 speed oven brand, MerryChef combines advanced cooking technology with a compact, ventless design that fits seamlessly into today’s fast-paced foodservice environments.

Delivering food to your customers - whether for catering events, office lunches, or pizza orders - requires careful planning to ensure it arrives safe, hot or cold as intended, and just as flavorful as when it left the kitchen. Cambro offers a range of equipment that makes this process more efficient, reliable, and professional. Here’s a guide to help you optimize your delivery and catering operations.

In commercial kitchens, safe and reliable gas connections are essential. Ovens, fryers, ranges, and grills all depend on strong, flexible gas hoses. Not all gas connectors are the same. Some hoses stretch over time, are hard to disconnect, or wear out quickly in a busy kitchen.

Krowne Gas Connectors are designed to avoid these problems. They offer long-lasting strength, easy use, and dependable safety that keeps kitchens running smoothly.

Whether they’re hosting holiday dinners or meal-prepping in the new year, these are practical upgrades that make a real difference.

Today’s K-12 nutrition programs manage more students, tighter service windows, and higher expectations for food quality than ever before. With limited staffing and increasing menu demands, the right cooking equipment becomes the backbone of the entire operation. That’s why convection and combi ovens play a central role in modern school kitchens.
