If We Had to Build a Kitchen from 5 Bits of Kit…

Five core pieces of equipment that form a complete commercial setup

If you had to start from scratch, these are the five pieces of kit that could get the job done — and get it done well. No gimmicks, just a solid foundation for any professional kitchen.

From cooking and refrigeration to prep and frying, this lineup covers the key elements of service with equipment that’s built to perform.

1. Falcon Dominator Plus G3101 Six Burner Gas Range

The core of the kitchen
There’s a reason this model turns up time and again in busy commercial kitchens. Six open burners, a powerful oven beneath, and a reputation for reliability that’s well earned. If you’re only getting one cooker, this covers all the ground you need.
Available in both gas and electric configurations to suit your setup.

2. Rational iCombi Pro

Precision, versatility, and real labour savings
This is the multi-tasker. Roast, steam, bake, regenerate — it does it all with programmable accuracy and real-world speed. Whether you’re running a fine-dining kitchen or a high-volume canteen, it adds control where it counts.
Available in gas or electric versions depending on kitchen layout and energy preference.

3. Blue Seal GT46 Twin Tank Gas Fryer

Fast recovery and built to graft
Twin independently controlled tanks make this a workhorse for any kitchen running fried sides or high-turnover menus. Robust build, easy servicing, and consistent results. A proven option for pubs, diners, and production kitchens alike.

4. Blizzard HBC4 Undercounter Fridge

Compact storage that works twice as hard
Cold storage at the point of prep — no need to step away mid-service. The HBC4 fits under standard counters and, thanks to its reinforced stainless steel top, also doubles as a usable prep or equipment surface. Ideal for tighter workspaces.
Supplied with a full 3-year warranty — though, truthfully, you probably won’t need it.
Also available as a slimline model (HBC4SL) and with drawer configurations instead of doors. Fancy that.

5. Sammic CK-48V Veg Prep & Cutter Combi

Prep time reduced — space saved
One machine, two functions: a vegetable preparation system and a bowl cutter in one compact footprint. Designed for versatility in small to medium kitchens, this unit handles slicing, dicing, grating, and mixing with ease.

Final Word

This five-piece setup offers the performance and practicality needed to run a busy kitchen efficiently. Each item earns its place on merit — capable, reliable, and ready for service from day one.
