Food tech is certainly a unique part of the school curriculum, and it’s a highly useful subject. As 42.6% of UK adults cook for their families every day, students will likely need culinary skills throughout their lives. It’s therefore clear that food tech classes are important – but to help students develop into confident chefs, schools need to provide the right catering equipment.

In this blog, we’re exploring the benefits of leasing our school-friendly food tech equipment.

Spacious and dependable refrigerators 

Food tech lessons mean several students will be cooking at once – and they’ll need plenty of ingredients. We stock a range of domestic and commercial refrigerators to store perishable items before, during, and after cooking. 

Our domestic fridges are perfect for food tech classrooms, as they’re spacious yet compact. We can provide both upright and smaller, box-like ones, so there are plenty of options – even for smaller classrooms. What’s more, we also offer fridge-freezers, providing useful freezer space if you need it!

If you’re looking for a fridge with higher capacity, we have many commercial refrigerators to choose from. These come in various finishes and sizes, including counter fridges with built-in countertops. 

Student-friendly cookers

Cooking may sound like the most stressful bit of food tech – and it probably is – but with our robust, student-friendly appliances, it’s simple.

We stock a selection of modern Hotpoint cookers that are perfect for the classroom. They’re easy to operate and come equipped with plenty of handy features, including:

  • glass lids to create extra workspace in busy classrooms 
  • timers to keep track of cooking times 
  • multi-flow technology (electric ovens) for even heat distribution
  • catalytic liners to catch fat and grease, preventing smoke or fires.

Hotpoint’s range includes gas and electric cookers, and even dual-fuel models with gas hobs and electric ovens. They’re all free-standing, too, so schools can control the classroom’s layout!

High-performance dishwashers 

During food tech classes, students learn the hard truth that cooking, unfortunately, results in dirty dishes. Cleaning up is never as fun as cooking, but luckily, our dishwashers make this process a piece of cake.

We supply a wide range of Hobart Ecomax models, which are designed for large batches of dirty dishes – a given when you’ve got so many cooks in the kitchen! These appliances are all easy to clean, too, thanks to their automatic rinse-down feature.

The dishwashers we supply are all reliable and built to withstand large loads. They come in a variety of sizes and prices, and they’re easy to operate – so students have no excuses for not using them! 

The essential ingredients for any catering classroom

Collectively, our equipment covers all bases – from storing food to washing up. This means we can kit out your school’s food tech classrooms with everything you need – so your school won’t need to source appliances from multiple suppliers. Our efficient and professional team also takes care of installation!
