Question:

Can anyone recommend a manufacturer of medium/heavy duty 6-burner gas ranges that has all burner caps/flame spreaders no larger than 90mm diameter (or preferably slightly less)? Thank you.

Replies:

1. Baron (Universal Foodservice Equipment Ltd). They do a unit where they have a 3.5kw head which is less in diameter due to the load, you can specify the burner output.
2. I think Mareno may also do one.
3. 90mm is very small even on a domestic range.
   Possible suppliers:
   • Falcon
   • MKN
   • Lincat
   • Blue Seal

   All dependant on budget.

Question:

We have been asked by a customer to quote for a new salting chiller room. Location: Lancaster. We are thinking we could organise the cold room then just buy measured salt walls however we would appreciate your recommendations/suggestions. Thank you.

Replies:

1. I’m sure they’ve already heard of this company – https://www.saltan.co.uk/butchers but I think they operate in ambient rather than chilled environment (as that’s the way the meat is preserved). The London restaurants use these with all the lighting etc as you come in – I’ve never heard of a salted chilled room – but there is always a first!
