In today’s fast-paced world, speed and quality are key when it comes to cooking, especially in the foodservice industry. But how do you prepare today’s most popular dishes quickly without compromising on flavor and texture? Enter the Cadco VariKwik—a revolutionary multi-technology oven that delivers fast, high-quality results without relying on microwave energy.

While many kitchens opt for traditional ranges, they unknowingly limit their cookline’s potential. With a fixed cooking surface, set arrangement, and oven beneath, flexibility becomes a thing of the past. Globe Food Equipment, however, takes a different approach.

Globe's modular gas countertop cooking equipment offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to choose the cooking method, configuration, and accessories that fit your needs. Whether it’s charbroilers, griddles, or hot plates, Globe’s high-performance gas cooking products are built to last with stainless steel construction and a customizable design.

If you are looking to elevate your kitchen, check out Globe’s line of countertop gas cooking equipment - the key to a versatile, high-quality cookline that adapts to your vision.

Managing the smoke, grease-laden vapor, and odors produced by different cooking appliances is often a hurdle in commercial kitchens. Traditional fixed ventilation hoods, though widely used, come with significant downsides. They are expensive to purchase and install, require extensive structural and HVAC modifications, and are subject to strict regulatory hurdles that can delay projects or even halt them altogether. Their fixed nature limits where appliances can be placed, restricts kitchen layouts, and adds ongoing maintenance and high energy costs to your operation.

That’s why Equipex created the Small Appliance Ventilation System (SA Vent)—an innovative, ventless solution designed to eliminate the need for traditional hoods, offering unmatched flexibility to position cooking appliances exactly where they’re needed. Powered by a standard 120V outlet, SA Vents are easy to assemble, maintain, and clean, making them an ideal choice for expanding your menu offerings without the constraints of traditional hoods. With SA Vents, you can embrace creativity and elevate your kitchen capabilities, all while avoiding the significant costs, delays, and limitations of fixed ventilation systems.

Catering during the busy season comes with its challenges: cumbersome chafing dishes, reliance on electricity, and the risks of open flames—not to mention restrictions at venues that prohibit them. Say goodbye to those hassles with Sterno’s SpeedHeat flameless food warming system, a true game-changer for caterers. Designed for simplicity, safety, and efficiency, SpeedHeat eliminates the headaches of traditional setups, ensuring your dishes stay warm and your events run smoothly. Whether you're managing a bustling holiday schedule or tackling flame-restricted venues, SpeedHeat is the innovative solution you’ve been waiting for.
