Equipment selection requires careful consideration of usage scenario (residential / light commercial / professional commercial), frequency, budget, and available space.

Cooking Equipment:

Cooktops:Gas Cooktops: Thermal efficiency ≥63%. Recommended: all-copper burner heads + tempered glass panel for durability and easy cleaning.

Induction Cooktops: Inverter technology for energy efficiency. Precise temperature control (±1°C) suits professional cooking. Requires compatible cookware (high magnetic permeability stainless steel or cast iron).

Professional Choice: Commercial Gas Range Burner (Heat output ≥25kW, 304 stainless steel construction, thickness ≥1.2mm).

Range Hoods:Types: Overhead (Canopy), Side-Draft (Wall Mount), Downdraft (Integrated Cooktop Systems).

Critical Specs: Extraction Rate (≥18m³/min / 635 CFM residential; ≥5000m³/h / 2945 CFM commercial), Static Pressure (≥350Pa), Noise Level (≤65dB(A)), Grease Separation Rate (≥90%).

Professional Choice: Commercial Centrifugal Type Hood with Integrated Grease Filtration (calculate airflow based on ≥0.5m/s / 100 FPM face velocity), paired with stainless steel ducting (thickness ≥0.8mm).

Ovens/Steamers:Residential: Built-in for aesthetics. Opt for multi-function combi-ovens (steam, bake, convection, air fry). Capacity ≥50L, precise temperature control (±5°C), direct steam injection for even results.

Professional Choice: Multi-level Commercial Combi Oven/Steamer (Steam output ≥15L/h, max temp ≥300°C / 572°F, 304 stainless steel cavity).

Refrigeration Equipment:

Refrigerator: Frost-free (no manual defrosting), multi-zone independent temperature control (separate fridge/freeze/flex zones), inverter compressor for energy efficiency (Energy Star Class 1). Recommended residential capacity: 70-100L per person.

Professional Freezer: Commercial Upright/Chest Freezer (Temp ≤-18°C / 0°F, fast freeze function), 304 stainless steel interior, external condenser for easy cleaning.

Cleaning & Waste Equipment:

Sink: Recommended 304 stainless steel, single-bowl, deep-drawn construction (thickness ≥0.8mm), brushed finish for scratch resistance. Large single bowl (≥680x450mm / 27"x18") offers versatility; consider optional accessories like drain racks/cutting boards.

Dishwasher: Built-in models save space. Key factors: Capacity (place settings, e.g., 13+), number of spray arms (≥3), water efficiency rating (Class 1 best), drying system (condensation drying less effective than forced-air/turbo drying). Commercial choice: Conveyor Dishwasher (≥2000 racks/hour).

Food Waste Disposer: DC motor recommended (higher starting torque), grinding stage (≥Level 3), noise reduction design (≤60dB). Ensure compatibility with plumbing.

Ancillary Equipment:

Water Filtration System: Whole-house sediment filter (>40 microns) + Central Activated Carbon Filter + RO Drinking Water System (salt rejection rate ≥95%) for safe water.

Integrated Appliances: Microwave, Coffee Machine, Sanitizer Drawer, etc. Plan for dimensions, dedicated circuits (16A outlets), and ventilation space in advance.
