Microwaves For Commercial Use

Microwaves have not just revolutionized domestic kitchens they have transformed commercial kitchens as well. Though there are specially designed and manufactured microwaves for commercial established, the small domestic microwave is also used in many commercial establishments. Small offices, mini cafes and pastry shops all keep microwaves to provide hot food to clients. Numerous manufacturers specializing in microwaves provide larger commercial microwaves to hotels and restaurants, hospitals and health care organizations, catering services and others. Despite their large size, their efficiency remains the same, with many models cooking faster by about 45 times as compared to the conventional method of cooking. Commercial microwaves differ from domestic ones in many ways. Firstly, domestic microwaves use a single magnetron that converts electricity absorbed into electromagnetic energy, while commercial ones use two magnetrons for quicker and more efficient results. Domestic ones have lower power levels ranging between 600-900 watts while commercial ones use much higher power levels ranging between 1000-2000watts-these include levels like light duty, medium, heavy and extra heavy duty. Commercial microwaves are rugged and tough meant to withstand rough and continuous use to cater to a stream of continuous orders. Domestic use of microwaves is in a more organized kitchen with not much load. The oven cavity in the domestic microwave has a turntable that keeps rotating to ensure that the heat mixes evenly, commercial ones use more sophisticated heat mixing systems for better results. Besides the oven cavity of a domestic microwave are made of mild steel, but that of a commercial one is made of tougher and thicker stainless steel that can be scrubbed without it getting corroded.

Commercial microwaves can easily face neglect, therefore staff is trained to ensure that they regularly clean them, without their being scrubbed or scoured, no food spills are left unattended and that they are never run without food inside. This may damage the magnetron inside. These are all preventives to ensure that all the microwaves remain in good running condition.
