Latest verifications & additions
- 2026-09-10 Why You Can’t Use a Home Refrigerator (or Range) in a Commercial Kitchen
A residential fridge is cheaper, but a health inspector can reject it, because the Food Code deems only ANSI/NSF-certified commercial equipment compliant. What that means when you buy used, cited to the FDA Food Code. - 2026-09-10 The Sinks and Dish Machine Your Health Inspector Requires Before You Open
A dish machine does not replace the three-compartment sink, and the handwashing sink is separate from both. The plumbing and equipment a commercial kitchen must have, and the hidden booster-heater cost, cited to the FDA Food Code. - 2026-09-10 Type I or Type II Hood? (And Why a Fryer Always Means Type I)
The single biggest hidden cost when you equip a kitchen: a grease-producing appliance forces a full Type I hood, exhaust and fire suppression. A dishwasher or proofer may only need the cheaper Type II. The rule, cited. - 2026-09-10 What Equipping a Commercial Kitchen Really Costs (It’s Not the Sticker Price)
The purchase price of a fryer or reach-in is the smallest part of what it costs. Energy over its lifetime, the hood and sinks it forces, and the risk of a used lemon all cost more. The total-cost view, with the ENERGY STAR numbers. - 2026-09-07 Hobart HL200 Legacy

The three slicer brands you will actually cross-shop used, compared on what breaks, what the parts cost, and what a used one is worth. Real part prices from Parts Town, not guesses. - 2026-09-07 Hobart N50 vs HL200 vs D300: Which Used Planetary Mixer Size to Buy
Hobart's three most cross-shopped planetary mixers, by bowl size, what fails on each, and the very different repair-part bills. Real Parts Town prices, not estimates. - 2026-09-06 The 41°F Rule: Why a Dying Commercial Fridge Is a Compliance Emergency, Not a Repair Ticket
The FDA Food Code requires cold food held at 41°F or less, and a cooler that can't hold it forces mandatory discard of everything inside. The exact code sections, verbatim, and what they mean when your compressor starts dying. - 2026-09-06 Which FDA Food Code Does Your State Actually Run?
From FDA's own adoption report: which edition of the Food Code governs your kitchen, state by state. Four states run the 2022 code, South Dakota still runs 1995, and California never adopted any of them. The full table. - 2026-09-06 Finding Commercial Kitchen Parts Without Getting Burned: Part Numbers, Fitment, and the Popular Models Trap
Half the parts queries we see are people about to buy the wrong part. Here is how fitment actually works on parts sites, why the "Popular Models" line lies by omission, and the checks that take two minutes. - 2026-09-05 Recall True T-49
