Well catered

For an increasing number of families, entertaining at home doesn't just mean having a few friends around for dinner. It often involves catering on a much larger scale, which in turn creates a need for commercial-style kitchen facilities.

As well as having an everyday kitchen, some homes now feature a scullery-style commercial kitchen, such as the one shown here, which was supplied by specialist commercial kitchen manufacturer Burns & Ferrall.

The company not only fabricates the stainless steel benches and carcases, it also supplies top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen shown here includes a Rational SelfCooking Centre®, Hobart dishwasher and a gas hob from Garland a Canadian manufacturer specialising in high-end ranges.

Israel Evers of Burns & Ferrall says this is a simple, but very workable design.

"The kitchen is compact enough to be used by the owner every day," he says. "But it's also designed to be used by a chef or catering company when the family is entertaining in excess of 100 guests."

Evers says Rational holds 53% of the global combination oven market. The oven's popularity is due to its versatility and high performance it can roast overnight, braise and steam food.
