The Buffalo Induction Wok is a countertop induction cooking unit designed specifically for wok-style cooking in commercial kitchens. Rather than using gas burners or open flame, it transfers heat directly into the base of an induction-compatible wok through a toughened ceramic glass curved surface, delivering the high temperatures needed for stir-frying, searing, and rapid-heat techniques without combustion.
In a busy kitchen environment, induction cooking offers a meaningful practical advantage over gas wok burners in terms of heat control and responsiveness. Because the heat is generated within the pan itself rather than around it, temperature changes happen quickly and consistently. This suits high-turnover kitchens where dishes need to be prepared in rapid succession and where consistent results across a service period matter.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this unit include:
- Flameless operation reduces ventilation demands compared to gas wok burners
- Induction efficiency means less wasted heat into the kitchen environment
- Smooth ceramic glass surface is straightforward to wipe down between services
- Built-in timer supports straightforward session management
- Stainless steel housing withstands the wear of daily commercial use
Installation is relatively straightforward compared to gas alternatives — there is no requirement for gas supply, gas safety certification, or specialist burner ventilation canopy, though general kitchen ventilation should always be assessed for your setup. The unit requires a suitable electrical supply, and it is worth confirming your existing circuit can support the load before installation. It is also essential to use induction-compatible cookware; standard woks without a magnetic base will not work with this unit.
This wok hob is well suited to smaller operations running Asian or fusion menus — street food concepts, small restaurant kitchens, dark kitchens, and similar settings where a single high-heat wok station is sufficient. For sites running a continuous high-volume wok operation across multiple covers, a heavier-duty or multi-zone solution may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether induction wok cooking is the right fit for your kitchen setup or service style, we are happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£224.00(£268.80 inc VAT)
The Buffalo induction stock pot stove is a single-zone induction unit built specifically for large-volume cooking tasks. It accepts pots up to 320mm in diameter and delivers 5kW of induction power, making it a practical choice for boiling stocks, soups, sauces, and pasta water in commercial quantities. Unlike a standard boiling ring, the cooking surface is sized and rated with heavy stock pots in mind rather than general-purpose pan work.
In a busy kitchen environment, the ability to bring a large pot to the boil quickly and hold it at a precise simmer matters considerably during service. Because induction transfers heat directly to the pan rather than heating the surrounding air, response to dial adjustments is noticeably faster than gas or radiant electric. This also means the unit contributes less ambient heat to the kitchen, which can make a real difference in confined spaces or during prolonged services in warm months. The pan detection feature cuts power automatically when the pot is lifted, avoiding unnecessary energy draw between uses.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Faster heat-up compared to conventional radiant electric hobs
- Precise simmer control, reducing the risk of scorching during long holds
- Cooler ambient kitchen environment, improving comfort and safety
- No naked flame, removing a combustion risk in tighter spaces
- Smooth ceramic glass surface that cleans down quickly after service
Installation is straightforward relative to gas equipment — there is no gas supply, interlock, or flue requirement, and ventilation demands are lower. The unit does require an adequate single-phase electrical supply capable of supporting a 5kW draw, so it is worth confirming your circuit capacity before ordering, particularly in older premises. The stove is freestanding and countertop-mounted, so positioning is flexible, though it should be placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
This unit is well suited to smaller restaurants, cafés, and catering operations where one or two large pots need to be managed reliably through service. It is also a sensible addition for sites that want induction capability without committing to a full induction range. For high-volume operations running multiple large pots simultaneously, it would be worth considering whether a heavier-duty or multi-zone solution would better match the throughput required.
If you are unsure whether this stove fits your service volume or electrical setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£407.00(£488.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo doughnut fryer is a dedicated countertop fryer designed specifically for producing ring doughnuts and similar fried dough products in a commercial setting. It operates with a 14.5-litre oil tank and a 3kW heating element, and includes a digital programmable timer with an alarm function to help operators maintain consistent cook cycles. While it is optimised for doughnuts, the adjustable temperature control means it can handle a broader range of fried foods where the operation requires it.
In practice, this fryer suits operations where doughnuts are produced in regular batches rather than in continuous high-volume runs. The 3kW element supports reasonable recovery between batches, though operators running very large or back-to-back volumes should consider whether a higher-output unit would better meet their throughput requirements. The digital timer reduces reliance on operator judgement for consistent results, which is particularly useful in environments with varying staff experience levels.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the design includes a number of practical features worth noting:
- Digital programmable timer with alarm for consistent cook cycles
- Adjustable temperature control for flexibility across different products
- Drain tap for straightforward oil changes and cleaning
- Sloped draining shelf to manage oil runoff and improve product finish
- Slip-resistant feet for stable countertop placement during service
Installation is straightforward — this is a standard 13A plug-in unit, so no dedicated electrical supply or extraction infrastructure is required beyond a suitable countertop surface and adequate ventilation in the kitchen. Its compact footprint makes it a practical addition to bakery counters, café prep areas, and event catering setups without significant space planning.
This fryer is well suited to independent bakeries, coffee shops, market traders, and catering operations where doughnuts are a regular menu item but not the sole focus of production. For sites where doughnut output is the primary commercial activity or volumes are particularly high, a heavier-duty dedicated fryer with greater capacity may be worth exploring.
If you're unsure whether this fryer will meet your production volumes or want to talk through how it fits into your existing kitchen setup, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.
£917.00(£1,100.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 23-litre free-standing gas fryer is a twin-basket, single-tank unit built for continuous frying in commercial kitchen environments. Three vertical cast iron burners deliver strong, even heat across the tank, and the unit runs on natural gas as standard with an LPG conversion kit included for sites without a natural gas supply.
In busy service periods, recovery time is one of the most important performance factors for any fryer. The cast iron burner configuration on this unit supports fast heat recovery between batches, making it a practical choice for kitchens that cannot afford to slow service while the oil returns to temperature. The adjustable thermostat allows operators to set consistent temperatures across different menu items, and a high-limit safety cut-out helps prevent oil overheating during extended service.
From an operational standpoint, this fryer offers several day-to-day advantages worth noting:
- Large cold zone at the base of the tank reduces food particle scorching, helping extend oil life and lower running costs
- Built-in drain valve simplifies oil removal for cleaning and safe disposal
- Stainless steel tank construction supports thorough end-of-day cleaning
- Mounted on castors for straightforward repositioning and access during servicing
Installation requires a gas supply connection by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The unit is free-standing and should be positioned beneath a suitable extraction canopy in line with ventilation requirements. As with any free-standing gas fryer, allow adequate clearance at the sides and rear. This is a floor-standing unit, so sufficient floor space and a level, non-combustible surface are prerequisites.
This fryer is well suited to pubs, takeaways, cafés, and mid-sized restaurant kitchens with consistent frying demand throughout service. It sits at a practical capacity point for operations serving moderate volumes. For very high-throughput sites or operations running multiple fryer stations simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity or multiple-tank configuration would better match the demand.
If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen's output or gas supply setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
£1,008.00(£1,209.60 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 20-litre free standing electric fryer is a twin-basket floor model designed for commercial kitchens that need consistent frying output through a busy service. It operates on a single large tank divided for dual-basket use, allowing different products to be cooked simultaneously without cross-contamination of flavours — useful in any kitchen with a varied fried menu.
In practice, the fryer performs reliably across the kind of continuous demand found in pub kitchens, canteens, and mid-sized restaurant operations. The 12kW heating element supports reasonable recovery times between batches, meaning oil temperature drops less sharply after loading and returns to temperature quickly enough to keep service moving. It is not positioned as a high-volume output fryer, but for steady, consistent frying through a lunch or evening service it handles the workload well.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Twin baskets allow separate cooking of different products at the same time
- Hinged elements lift clear of the tank, making cleaning and draining straightforward
- Stainless steel construction throughout holds up under daily commercial use
- Free standing installation gives flexibility in kitchen layout
- Straightforward controls reduce training time for kitchen staff
Installation requires a suitable three-phase or high-amperage single-phase electrical supply — this is worth confirming with your electrician before ordering, as the power draw is significant. The unit should be positioned with adequate clearance for ventilation and positioned under or near a canopy extraction system in line with kitchen ventilation regulations. Consider the floor space footprint carefully in tighter kitchens.
This fryer suits operations with a regular but not exceptionally high demand for fried food — a pub serving food throughout the day, a school or workplace canteen, or a small to mid-sized restaurant kitchen. For sites running very high volumes or requiring continuous back-to-back output, a heavier-duty model with a larger tank or higher power rating may be worth considering. Equally, for smaller operations, a countertop fryer may be sufficient without the floor space commitment.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£454.00(£544.80 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 600 Series is a countertop electric fryer with a single 8-litre tank, designed for commercial kitchens operating on a standard single-phase supply. It runs from a hardwired 230V connection and draws 6kW, which gives it enough thermal output to handle regular frying through a busy service without relying on three-phase infrastructure — a practical advantage in smaller sites where three-phase power isn't available or would be costly to install.
In service, the fryer performs reliably across the kind of menu staples that define its target use: chips, chicken portions, seafood, battered products, and doughnuts. The 8-litre oil capacity is appropriate for moderate-volume output — it won't keep pace with a high-throughput fish and chip shop running multiple tanks, but it's well suited to a café kitchen, small restaurant, or pub that needs a dependable secondary fryer or a single fryer for a limited fried menu.
From an operational standpoint, the design prioritises ease of use and straightforward maintenance:
- Hinged heating elements lift clear for cleaning, reducing the effort involved in daily oil maintenance
- Front-mounted drain valve simplifies oil changes without removing the tank
- Temperature control is straightforward, keeping operation consistent across different staff
- Countertop footprint keeps the unit practical for kitchens with limited floor space
Installation requires a hardwired single-phase 230V connection — this is not a plug-in unit, so electrical work will be needed if a suitable supply isn't already in place. The countertop format means ventilation requirements are dictated by your canopy setup rather than a built-in system, so placement beneath an extraction canopy is standard practice.
This fryer is best suited to lower- to mid-volume operations: cafés, small restaurants, hotel breakfast kitchens, or as a supplementary unit in a larger kitchen. Sites with higher throughput demands, or those running fried items as a core menu component, would likely benefit from a larger-capacity or twin-tank model instead.
If you're unsure whether the output and tank size match your service requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£5,308.00(£6,369.60 inc VAT)
This Buffalo unit is a freestanding compact combination oven with a six-tray GN 1/1 capacity, sold here as a complete package with a stand, full installation kit, and extraction hood. It operates across convection, steam, and combined modes, giving kitchen teams the flexibility to roast, bake, steam, and regenerate within a single cavity. The package is aimed at operators who want a ready-to-install solution without having to source ancillary parts separately.
In service, the oven is well suited to mid-volume kitchens — think busy café kitchens, smaller hotel operations, pub restaurants, and contract catering sites preparing up to around a hundred covers. The six-tray configuration allows simultaneous cooking across different menu items, which helps reduce the reliance on multiple single-purpose appliances. ClimaControl technology lets operators dial in humidity precisely, which makes a practical difference when moving between delicate pastry work and roasting across the same service period. Recovery between loads is consistent enough for continuous use, though operators running very high-volume continuous service should consider whether a larger-format unit would better suit their throughput.
The practical advantages that make this a sensible choice for a mid-sized operation include:
- A 5-inch touchscreen with up to 99 programmable multi-stage cooking sequences
- 40 pre-set programmes covering common menu items, reducing training time for new staff
- Core probe and Delta T cooking options for accurate protein cookery
- One-touch automatic wash cycle, keeping the cavity clean without manual scrubbing
- GN 1/1 compatibility, allowing trays to transfer directly between kitchen stations
Installation of this package requires a suitable electrical supply, a cold water connection, and a drain — the included installation kit provides the necessary fittings, tubes, and adaptors, though connection work itself will need a qualified installer. The extraction hood included in this bundle addresses ventilation requirements where a canopy system is not already in place, but it is worth confirming with your installer that the hood capacity is adequate for your specific kitchen layout before proceeding. The stand raises the oven to a practical working height and provides useful storage below. Access for servicing should be factored into your positioning decisions.
This unit is a good fit for independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, school and workplace canteens, and catering operations where cooking versatility matters but kitchen space is limited. For lighter-use applications, a smaller-capacity combi may represent better value; for sites cooking at higher volume or running extended services, a larger-format oven with greater tray capacity is likely the more appropriate choice.
If you are weighing this up against your current kitchen layout or service volumes, we are happy to talk through whether this is the right specification for your operation before you commit.
£865.00(£1,038.00 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 600 Series electric griddle is a freestanding, dual-zone cooking unit built around a 10mm mild steel plate. It runs on a hardwired three-phase supply and is designed to handle continuous griddle work across breakfast, lunch and dinner services. The two independently controlled cooking zones allow the plate to be used flexibly depending on what the service demands at any given moment.
In a working kitchen environment, the thick mild steel plate earns its place by holding heat consistently across the surface. Once up to temperature, it recovers well between batches — an important quality when cooking eggs, bacon, burgers or pancakes at pace. The independent zone controls mean one side can be set lower for holding or gentle cooking whilst the other runs hotter for searing or grilling, which is a practical arrangement during a busy brunch or all-day service where the menu mixes items with different heat requirements.
From an operational standpoint, several features support daily use:
- Dual zone control allows different temperatures across each half of the plate simultaneously
- One zone can be powered down during quieter periods to reduce running costs
- Splash guards to the side and rear help contain grease and protect nearby surfaces
- The stainless steel cupboard base provides useful storage at the point of use
- Adjustable feet allow levelling on uneven kitchen floors
Installation requires a hardwired three-phase 400V connection, so an appropriately rated electrical supply must be in place before installation. It is not suitable for single-phase supplies. At just over 35kg, the unit is manageable to position, but the cupboard base means it occupies a full 600mm section of cook line. It sits within the Buffalo 600 Series range, which is designed so that units of the same series can be lined up to form a cohesive cooking suite.
This griddle is well suited to small-to-medium cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens and staff restaurants where griddle cooking features regularly across service periods. It is a practical entry point into dedicated griddle cooking rather than relying on a range-top griddle plate. For higher-volume sites running extended griddle-heavy menus, a heavier-duty or wider unit may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this griddle suits your service volume or want to talk through the installation requirements, the team is happy to help you work through it before you order.
£56.24(£67.49 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 10-litre soup kettle is a countertop food warmer designed to hold soups, stews, sauces and similar preparations at a consistent serving temperature throughout service. It connects to a standard 230V socket, requires no specialist installation, and comes supplied with a set of pre-printed labels covering common menu items including soup, chilli, curry, stew, baked beans, mushy peas, cheese sauce and porridge — practical for front-of-house display or self-service counters.
In a working environment, the kettle is best suited to steady holding rather than rapid heating from cold. It will maintain prepared product safely across a service period, but operators bringing product up from ambient should allow adequate time before service begins. The 10-litre capacity suits a single menu line at a time, making it more appropriate for operations running a short daily soup or sauce offering rather than a multi-line soup bar.
Practical advantages for day-to-day use include:
- Simple plug-in operation with no fixed installation required
- Wide temperature range supports holding across different product types
- Supplied labels reduce the need for separate signage at the point of service
- Black finish suits front-of-house or servery counters where appearance matters
- Straightforward to clean between services with no complex components
Because the unit sits on a countertop and draws from a standard socket, there are no gas, water or ventilation requirements to consider. Placement on a stable, heat-resistant surface is advisable, and sufficient counter space should be confirmed before ordering. For operations needing to run multiple soups simultaneously or hold larger volumes, a higher-capacity model or additional units would be worth considering.
This kettle is well suited to cafés, delis, small staff canteens, garden centres and similar venues where one or two hot options are offered daily. It is less appropriate as the sole solution for high-volume catering operations where throughput and recovery speed are critical.
If you are unsure whether the 10-litre size fits your service requirements, or if you are kitting out a larger servery, the team is happy to talk through the options with you.
£131.00(£157.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 6Ltr rice cooker is a straightforward electric countertop unit designed for commercial kitchens that serve rice regularly. It takes 6 litres of dry rice per batch and produces 13 litres of cooked rice — enough to support a consistent service in a busy takeaway, restaurant, or staff canteen without constant monitoring.
Operation is simple by design. Once the rice reaches temperature, the unit switches automatically from cook mode to keep-warm, holding the rice at a safe serving temperature until it's needed. This frees up kitchen staff to focus elsewhere rather than watching a pot, and it reduces the risk of rice sitting out at unsafe temperatures during a long service period.
From a practical standpoint, the unit offers a number of day-to-day advantages:
- Automatic cook-to-keep-warm switching reduces the need for staff supervision
- Non-stick inner pot makes cleaning straightforward between batches
- Stainless steel lid and outer body hold up well in commercial environments
- Consistent results batch to batch with minimal operator input
- Compact footprint suits countertop use in kitchens with limited space
Installation is uncomplicated — this is a plug-in electric unit requiring a standard connection, and no specialist installation work is needed beyond a suitable countertop position with access to a power supply. It's worth considering workflow placement carefully; positioning near the pass or service area tends to work well so rice can be portioned quickly during service.
This model is well suited to smaller to medium-volume operations — takeaways, cafés, small restaurants, and canteens where rice forms a regular part of the menu but isn't needed in very large quantities simultaneously. For higher-volume sites turning over multiple large batches throughout a service, a larger-capacity model may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this capacity is the right fit for your service volume, we're happy to talk it through.
£141.00(£169.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Round Belgian Waffle Maker is a countertop waffle iron designed for commercial foodservice use. It produces 180mm round Belgian-style waffles and is built around a straightforward press format with independently adjustable temperature and timer controls. The stainless steel outer housing and coated die-cast aluminium cooking plates are practical choices for a busy environment — robust enough to handle daily use without requiring specialist care.
In service, the unit is capable of producing up to 30 waffles per hour, which is a realistic output for a café, dessert bar, or market stall where waffles form part of a wider menu rather than the sole item. Temperature control up to 250°C gives operators the flexibility to adjust output and browning to suit different batters and service preferences. Recovery between cooks is consistent at this output level, and the independent timer removes guesswork from the cooking process, which helps during busy service periods when staff attention is split.
From a practical standpoint, this machine offers a number of advantages worth noting:
- Non-stick channel around the cooking plate catches excess batter, keeping the unit cleaner between cooks
- Independent temperature and timer controls reduce reliance on staff judgement during service
- Stainless steel housing is easy to wipe down and holds up well in commercial conditions
- Compact footprint suits countertop deployment in tight service areas
- Coated aluminium plates provide consistent heat distribution across the waffle surface
Installation is straightforward. The unit runs from a standard 13A socket and requires no fixed connection, making it easy to position on a countertop or move between sites. At just over 5kg, it is light enough to store away when not in service. No ventilation or extraction requirements apply, though as with any cooking equipment, adequate air circulation around the unit is sensible.
This waffle maker is well suited to cafés, dessert concepts, food stalls, and hotel breakfast operations where waffles are a regular but not high-volume menu item. At 30 waffles per hour, it is most effective where demand is steady rather than extremely high. For sites running waffles as a primary product across a full service shift, a dual-plate or higher-capacity unit would be a more appropriate choice.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your expected service volume or menu format, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£181.00(£217.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo charcoal barbecue is a straightforward, steel-construction grill designed for commercial and event catering use. It provides a generous cooking surface capable of handling multiple food items simultaneously — burgers, chicken, skewers, fish, and vegetables can all be worked across the grill during a busy service period without feeling cramped.
In practice, charcoal grilling of this type suits environments where authentic flame-kissed flavour is part of the offer — street food events, outdoor festivals, mobile catering units, pop-up restaurants, and hospitality venues with outdoor service areas. The relatively compact footprint and light overall weight mean the unit can be relocated between sites or stored away after an event without difficulty, and the ability to disassemble it simplifies both cleaning and transport.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical points worth noting are:
- Large cooking area allows simultaneous grilling of mixed menu items
- Disassembles for cleaning, reducing cross-contamination risk between services
- Steel construction handles the thermal demands of sustained charcoal cooking
- Lightweight enough for a single operator to move and set up
- No gas or electrical supply required — suits off-grid outdoor locations
Because this is a charcoal unit, there are no electrical or gas connections to factor in, which makes it straightforward to deploy almost anywhere outdoors. That said, charcoal grilling does require attention to fuel management, heat control, and ash disposal — operators new to charcoal service should factor in additional setup and turnaround time compared with gas alternatives. It is not suited to indoor use without substantial ventilation provisions.
This model works well for lower- to mid-volume outdoor catering operations. For sites running continuous high-volume service across long events, a heavier-duty unit with greater cooking area or more robust construction may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this barbecue fits your service model or volume requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
£474.00(£568.80 inc VAT)
The Buffalo XL Ceramic Kamado BBQ is a large-format charcoal grill designed for operators who need genuine cooking versatility outdoors. Built around a thick ceramic body, it functions as a grill, smoker, pizza oven, and roaster in a single unit — making it a practical choice for catering events, outdoor dining services, or permanent covered terrace setups where a gas supply isn't available or practical.
The ceramic construction is the defining characteristic of this style of cooker. It retains heat exceptionally well once at temperature, meaning the charcoal load required to maintain consistent cooking conditions is lower than with steel alternatives. Recovery after opening the lid is relatively quick, and the cooker holds steady temperature across a wide range — from low-and-slow smoking conditions through to high-heat searing. The 20-minute heat-up time is typical for a quality ceramic Kamado and compares well to steel grills of comparable size.
From an operational standpoint, the Kamado format works well for caterers offering smoked meats, grilled proteins, or wood-fired dishes as a menu feature. Its versatility reduces the number of separate cooking units required at an event or outdoor service point.
- Ceramic liner holds temperature consistently without constant fuel management
- Suitable for grilling, smoking, searing, and baking — all from one unit
- Supplied with a mobile trolley and two wooden side shelves for prep space
- Finished in black ceramic — durable and presentable in front-of-house settings
- Reduces charcoal consumption compared to open steel grill designs
At 91kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment. It is genuinely portable via the supplied trolley on level ground, but moving it across uneven surfaces or loading it into vehicles requires planning and appropriate handling. It is not suited to compact indoor kitchens and requires adequate ventilation or an outdoor environment for safe use with charcoal.
This grill is well suited to event caterers, street food operators, pub gardens, and outdoor restaurants where charcoal cooking is part of the offer. For higher-volume operations requiring faster throughput across multiple covers simultaneously, a larger or multi-unit setup would be worth considering.
If you're weighing up whether the Kamado format fits your service style or have questions about cooking volume and fuel management, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
£151.00(£181.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo portable sous vide is a clip-on immersion circulator designed for commercial kitchens where sous vide cooking is used occasionally rather than as a high-volume daily process. Rather than requiring a dedicated vessel, the unit clips directly onto most containers, pots, or tanks with rounded or flat walls, which gives it a degree of flexibility that fixed sous vide units simply cannot offer.
In practice, this type of unit suits kitchens that prepare proteins, vegetables, or desserts sous vide as part of a broader menu — not operations running sustained high-volume output across a full service. The circulator draws water continuously around the container, maintaining consistent temperature throughout, which is the fundamental requirement for reliable sous vide results. At up to a 40-litre working capacity, it can handle a reasonable batch size for its class.
The practical advantages of this format are worth considering:
- Clips to gastronorm containers, stockpots, and most flat or rounded-wall vessels already in use
- Lightweight and compact enough to store easily when not in use
- No fixed plumbing or installation required — plugs into a standard socket
- Consistent water circulation supports accurate, repeatable results
- Simple to clean and maintain with no complex components
Because the unit is portable and requires no fixed installation, there is very little to consider in terms of setup. It will need a stable surface and a suitable container of the right depth to allow safe clip attachment and adequate water circulation. It is not designed for continuous heavy-volume use — kitchens running sous vide as a core, high-throughput technique daily would likely benefit from a more robust, higher-capacity dedicated unit.
This unit is well suited to smaller restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where sous vide features on the menu without being a primary cooking method. It is also practical for chefs who need a portable solution across multiple sites or temporary setups.
If you are unsure whether this capacity suits your service style or menu volume, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your kitchen.
£121.00(£145.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Bubble Waffle Maker is a compact, countertop appliance designed to produce the distinctive Hong Kong-style egg waffle — characterised by its grid of hollow spherical pockets. It operates on a standard 13A supply and is built for consistent, repeatable results across a service period, making it a practical addition to dessert menus, café counters, and street food setups.
In a commercial context, this unit is best suited to operations where bubble waffles are a menu feature rather than the primary volume item. At up to 30 waffles per hour, it handles a steady stream of orders comfortably, though it is not designed for high-throughput sites producing continuous back-to-back batches across a full service. Recovery between waffles is quick enough for typical café or dessert bar demand, and the dial-controlled temperature and timer settings keep operation straightforward for front-of-house staff with minimal training.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Simple dial controls reduce training time and risk of operator error
- Compact footprint suits countertop service stations and kiosks
- Standard 13A plug-in installation — no dedicated wiring required
- Easy-clean plates with a non-stick surface help maintain throughput during busy periods
- Lightweight build makes it straightforward to reposition or store between services
Installation is straightforward — the unit plugs into a standard 13A socket and requires no specialist electrical work. It will need adequate ventilation around it during use, and a stable, heat-resistant surface. At 6.5kg it is easy to move, but it should be positioned away from high-traffic areas to avoid knocks during service.
This model is well suited to independent cafés, dessert parlours, market stalls, and hospitality venues offering bubble waffles as a menu addition. For sites looking to run waffles as a high-volume core product across long services, it is worth discussing whether a more heavy-duty solution would better match the demand.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service volumes or menu setup, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The Buffalo 6 Burner LPG Barbecue Griddle is a propane-powered combi unit combining open barbecue grill cooking with a large flat steel plate griddle. Running entirely on LPG, it operates independently of mains gas infrastructure, making it well suited to outdoor events, festival catering, temporary kitchen setups, and mobile food operations where a fixed gas supply is not available.
With six burners and a total output of 24kW spread across a generous cooking surface, the unit is built to handle sustained high-volume service. The griddle plate handles foods that need even contact heat — bacon, eggs, onions, flatbreads, burgers — while the barbecue section allows charred, open-flame cooking alongside. Running both simultaneously gives an operator the flexibility to serve a varied menu without needing separate equipment.
In practical terms, the key operational advantages include:
- LPG operation removes dependence on fixed gas supply lines or electrical hook-up
- Dual cooking zones allow griddle and barbecue output to run concurrently
- Large steel griddle plate maintains consistent surface temperature across high-throughput service
- Six-burner layout gives zone control, allowing sections to be turned down during quieter periods
- Steel construction is robust enough for repeated outdoor deployment and straightforward to clean down after service
At 94.5kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment and will require at least two people to position and move safely. The unit's footprint is considerable, so access routes and surface stability need to be considered before deployment, particularly on uneven ground at outdoor events. LPG cylinder connection, regulator compatibility, and gas safety checks should always be carried out by a competent Gas Safe registered engineer prior to first use.
This unit is best suited to caterers running high-volume outdoor events, street food operations, festival traders, or hospitality venues with seasonal outdoor service areas. For smaller-scale operations or where a more compact footprint is needed, a lower-burner-count model may be more appropriate. Conversely, very high-volume event caterers running multiple service lines may want to consider whether a single unit meets peak demand or whether two smaller units would give more operational flexibility.
If you're unsure whether this unit fits your service volumes or event setup, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit.
£222.00(£266.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 8-litre countertop electric fryer is a single-basket unit designed for consistent, straightforward frying in smaller commercial kitchens. It handles the everyday range of fried foods — chips, battered fish, seafood, doughnuts — and is built to a specification that suits kitchens where a compact, reliable fryer is needed without the footprint of a floor-standing model.
In service, the 2.9kW heating element gives reasonable recovery when adding frozen product to hot oil, which helps maintain consistent cook times during a steady service period. It is best suited to moderate throughput — a café, pub kitchen, or snack bar turning out fried items as part of a broader menu — rather than a high-volume fish and chip shop or fast-food operation where a larger, more powerful unit would be more appropriate. The adjustable thermostat allows the temperature to be dialled in for different products, and the included digital timer helps kitchen staff deliver consistent results without relying on guesswork.
From an operational standpoint, a few practical features make daily use and end-of-service cleaning straightforward:
- Front-mounted drain tap allows oil to be drained into a container without lifting a heavy pan
- V-shaped oil pan encourages more complete draining, reducing waste and making cleaning easier
- Hinged element lifts clear of the pan for access when cleaning
- Stainless steel lid included to protect oil between services
Installation is straightforward — this is a countertop unit that connects to a standard 13A socket, so no dedicated electrical supply or hardwiring is needed. You will want to ensure adequate ventilation above the fryer, either via an extraction canopy or sufficient natural airflow, as with any open-vat fryer. The unit is compact enough for most counter runs but check the depth against your available worktop space before ordering.
This fryer is well suited to cafés, small pub kitchens, school canteens, or any site where fried food is a regular but not dominant part of the menu. If your operation is frying at high volume continuously throughout service, a twin-tank or larger single-tank unit is likely to serve you better. Equally, for very light or occasional use, a smaller capacity model may offer a more efficient fit.
If you are unsure whether this capacity is right for your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.
£202.00(£242.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Bistro Large Contact Grill is a countertop double-sided grill designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens and service counters. It uses a combination of stainless steel housing and enamelled cast iron plates to deliver consistent, direct contact heat across a generous cooking surface, making it practical for a wide range of menu items — from breakfast service through to pressed sandwiches, grilled meats, and vegetables.
In a working kitchen, contact grills are judged on how quickly they recover temperature between cooks and how reliably they hold heat during a run of orders. The Buffalo Bistro handles steady service well; the cast iron plates retain heat effectively once up to temperature, and the variable heat control allows the operator to dial in the right setting for different ingredients without guesswork. The counter-balanced swivel head adjusts to the thickness of the food, which helps maintain even contact across uneven items and reduces the chance of undercooking at the edges.
From a practical standpoint, this unit offers several day-to-day advantages:
- Variable temperature control allows one unit to handle a broad range of menu items
- Counter-balanced head adapts to food thickness for consistent plate contact
- Enamelled cast iron plates provide good heat retention and a hard-wearing cooking surface
- Removable grease collection tray simplifies cleaning between service periods
- Compact footprint suits countertop deployment in tight service areas
Installation is straightforward — this is a plug-in unit drawing 2.2kW, so no specialist electrical work is typically required beyond a suitable 13A socket. It sits comfortably on a counter, though the 19.6kg weight is worth accounting for when planning the surface. There are no water or gas connections required. Good ventilation around the unit is advisable during heavy use, particularly in enclosed service areas.
This grill is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, small hotel kitchens, and catering operations running moderate volumes — particularly where menu variety means the grill handles several different product types across a shift. For high-volume sites processing a sustained run of a single product, such as a burger bar at peak service, a heavier-duty unit with a larger plate area or faster recovery may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this model fits your service volumes or counter setup, the team is happy to talk through the options before you commit to anything.
£202.00(£242.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Bistro Large Ribbed Contact Grill is a countertop electric contact grill designed for commercial food service use. It features ribbed cast iron upper and lower plates with a non-stick coating, allowing operators to produce grilled paninis, sandwiches, chicken breasts, and similar items quickly and with a consistent finish. The counter-balanced top plate pivots to accommodate food of varying thickness without pressing down and crushing the product.
In practice, the grill performs reliably during steady service periods — café counter service, snack bars, or smaller restaurant operations where grilled items form part of the menu rather than the primary output. The cast iron plates hold heat well once the unit is up to temperature, giving reasonable recovery between successive orders. It is not a high-throughput unit, and operators expecting to run back-to-back grilling at volume should consider whether a heavier-duty model with greater plate mass and a higher power rating would be more appropriate.
The ribbed plate configuration leaves grill marks on the food surface, which many operators find improves presentation and customer perception of grilled items. Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Non-stick cast iron plates that release food cleanly and simplify end-of-service cleaning
- Counter-balanced lid that reduces the risk of food being flattened or compressed unevenly
- 430 stainless steel exterior that withstands regular wiping down and resists surface corrosion
- Supplied griddle scraper for removing residue without damaging the plate surface
- Compact footprint that fits comfortably on a standard countertop without taking excessive prep space
Installation is straightforward — this is a plug-in unit drawing 2.2kW, suitable for a standard 13A supply in most UK commercial premises. No specialist electrical work is required for most sites, though it is worth confirming your circuit load if the socket position is already serving other high-draw appliances. At 20kg, it is manageable for repositioning but sturdy enough to sit securely during service. Adequate ventilation around the unit is advisable, particularly in enclosed counter positions.
This grill is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, small hotel kitchens, and similar operations where grilled items are produced to order at moderate pace. If your menu relies heavily on grilled output across a full service session, it is worth discussing whether a larger or more robust unit would better match your throughput requirements.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your service style or volume, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£152.00(£182.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Bistro Contact Grill is a compact, single-plate electric contact grill designed for light commercial use. It uses flat upper and lower cast iron plates with a non-stick coating to cook sandwiches, paninis, meat and vegetables quickly and with minimal added fat. The counter-balanced top plate maintains consistent contact across the food surface without crushing it, which helps produce evenly cooked results from the first item to the last.
In practice, this unit is well suited to lower-volume service — a café producing toasted sandwiches through a morning rush, a deli counter turning out grilled snacks, or a small hospitality kitchen where contact-grilled items are part of a limited menu rather than a core throughput requirement. It is not designed for continuous high-volume production and operators expecting to run it hard across a full service period should consider a heavier-duty model with a higher power rating.
The practical advantages for day-to-day use include:
- Non-stick cast iron plates reduce sticking and speed up cleaning between uses
- Counter-balanced lid prevents food from being compressed unevenly
- Compact footprint fits comfortably on a standard counter without obstructing workflow
- Supplied griddle scraper makes between-service plate cleaning straightforward
- Stainless steel construction is durable and easy to wipe down
Installation is straightforward — the unit is plug-in and requires only a standard mains socket. No fixed electrical connection, gas supply or ventilation extraction is required, though local ventilation is advisable wherever grilling takes place. At 14.4kg it is light enough to be repositioned as needed, which suits operations where counter space is shared or flexible.
This grill is best suited to cafés, delis, small hotels and catering setups where contact grilling is a secondary rather than primary cooking function. If your operation demands a grill running continuously through a busy service, it is worth discussing your volume requirements with us before ordering — a more robust unit may be a better long-term investment.
£152.00(£182.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Bistro Ribbed Contact Grill is a compact, countertop grill designed for cafés, sandwich bars, and light commercial kitchens that need to produce grilled paninis, pressed sandwiches, chicken fillets, and similar items quickly and consistently. It uses ribbed cast iron plates on both the upper and lower surfaces, which retain heat effectively and transfer characteristic grill marks to the food.
In a busy café or deli environment, this unit handles a steady flow of orders during peak service reasonably well. The cast iron plates hold heat after each item is removed, which helps maintain consistent results without long waits between each press. It is worth being clear that this is a single-grill, light-duty unit — it is not designed for continuous back-to-back output at the volume you would expect from a double or heavy-duty commercial contact grill. For sites running high throughput through a lunch service, a larger or more robust unit would be more appropriate.
Practical advantages for day-to-day operation include:
- Counterbalanced top plate applies gentle, even pressure without crushing food
- Non-stick cast iron plates reduce sticking and simplify cleaning
- Ribbed plate profile adds grill texture and aids fat drainage
- Supplied with a griddle scraper for straightforward plate maintenance between services
- Stainless steel exterior wipes down easily and stands up to a kitchen environment
Installation is straightforward. The unit is compact and requires only a standard 13A mains socket, making it easy to position on any available counter space. No extraction connection or water supply is needed. The footprint is modest, which suits tighter front-of-house or servery areas as well as back-of-house kitchens.
This grill is well suited to cafés, coffee shops, small restaurant kitchens, and any operation needing a reliable, no-fuss contact grill for moderate daily use. It is not the right choice for high-volume sandwich chains or operations running the grill continuously across long services — in those cases, something with greater plate surface area and a heavier-duty heating element would serve better.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your service volume or have questions about how it compares to other options in our range, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
£302.00(£362.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 600 Series chip scuttle is a countertop food-holding unit designed to keep freshly fried chips, wedges, and similar fried foods warm and ready to serve between the fryer and the customer. It sits on the servery counter and bridges the gap between cook and serve, helping operators maintain food quality during busy service periods without holding food in a closed environment that would soften the crust.
In practice, the unit uses overhead heat lamps to keep food warm from above while a perforated, gently sloped base plate allows excess grease to drain away rather than pooling beneath the food. That combination helps preserve texture during service — a meaningful consideration in any operation where chips are fried in batches and held briefly before plating or bagging. The raised sides contain food within the serving area, which helps maintain a tidy counter during a fast-paced service.
Practically speaking, this suits operations with a steady but not extremely high chip volume. The stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean down between services, and the sloped base makes it easy to work with a scoop without having to reach awkwardly into the unit.
- Keeps fried food warm and crisp without enclosing it in a hot cabinet
- Perforated base reduces grease contact with food during holding
- Raised sides contain food and support a tidy servery
- Stainless steel construction wipes down quickly between services
- Designed to sit alongside other 600 Series appliances for a consistent countertop layout
This is a countertop-only unit — the base cupboard is sold separately if you require one. It requires a standard 13-amp supply, making it simple to position without dedicated electrical installation. A scoop is not included. For very high-volume sites turning over large quantities of chips continuously, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity holding solution would better match throughput.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service style or counter layout, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
£504.00(£604.80 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 600 Series electric pasta cooker is a dedicated countertop cooking station designed for kitchens that serve pasta, noodles, dumplings, or blanched vegetables as a regular part of the menu. Rather than tying up a hob position for boiling water throughout service, it provides a self-contained, purpose-built solution that keeps that work separate and consistent.
The unit features a 15-litre tank designed to connect directly to a mains water supply. A front-mounted fill tap lets staff top up the water quickly without moving the machine or carrying jugs, and a separate front drain tap means the tank can be emptied cleanly at the end of service or during a quiet period. Temperature is adjustable across a wide range, and the unit works with separate mesh baskets, making it straightforward to cook multiple portions simultaneously or hold different products at different stages.
In practical terms, the main operational advantages are:
- Frees up hob positions for other cooking during busy service periods
- Plumbed water supply reduces downtime between orders
- Front-mounted fill and drain taps support fast, clean turnaround
- Mesh basket system allows portion-by-portion cooking to order
- Consistent temperature control helps deliver reliable results across a full service
The unit is hardwired and will need a suitable electrical connection arranged prior to installation. It is a countertop appliance only — the base cupboard is sold separately, so factor that into your planning if you need it at a workable height within a cook line. At 400mm wide, it fits comfortably into tighter kitchen layouts and is designed to sit alongside other Buffalo 600 Series appliances if you are building or extending a modular line.
This pasta cooker is well suited to restaurants, cafés, and contract catering operations where pasta or noodle dishes form a consistent part of the menu. For very high-volume sites turning out large batch quantities continuously through a long service, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit would be a better fit for your throughput.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or want to talk through the installation requirements, our team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.
£171.00(£205.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo crepe maker is a countertop electric unit designed for consistent, high-volume crepe production in a professional setting. It features a large 400mm cooking plate with manual temperature controls, allowing the operator to dial in the precise surface heat needed for a reliable, repeatable result across a full service period.
In practice, the 3kW element delivers strong initial heat-up and supports good recovery between crepes — important when a continuous queue builds during busy service. The wide plate accommodates standard crepe sizes comfortably and suits both sweet and savoury preparations. Manual controls keep operation straightforward, which is practical in fast-moving environments where simplicity reduces errors and training time.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several day-to-day advantages:
- Large 400mm plate increases output per cycle without additional equipment
- Manual controls are easy to operate with minimal training
- Temperature range up to 300°C gives flexibility across different batters and recipes
- Smooth plate surface supports quick clean-down between service periods
- Compact countertop footprint fits into tight service stations or market stalls
Installation is straightforward — the unit is plug-in electric, so no gas supply or fixed plumbing is required. At 20kg it's robust enough to stay put on a counter but manageable to reposition if your setup changes. Ensure the surface can support the weight and that ventilation around the unit is adequate, as the plate operates at high surface temperatures. It draws 3kW, so check that the circuit serving the station is rated appropriately before first use.
This crepe maker is well suited to cafés, crêperies, market traders, hotel breakfast operations, and event catering setups where crepes feature regularly on the menu. It's a practical choice for moderate daily volumes. If your operation runs extended service periods or extremely high throughput, it's worth discussing whether a heavier-duty or dual-plate solution would better match your requirements.
If you're unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your setup, our team is happy to talk through the specifics with you before you commit.
£161.00(£193.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Outdoor Gas Griddle is a flat-plate gas plancha designed specifically for outdoor commercial use. Running on gas and built from steel, it provides a large, even cooking surface well suited to burgers, vegetables, fish, and similar high-throughput fare commonly served at catering events, market stalls, food festivals, and outdoor hospitality settings.
In a busy outdoor service environment, a flat griddle plate offers consistent, direct contact heat across the cooking surface, which supports steady output when volume picks up during peak service periods. The steel plate retains heat reasonably well, allowing operators to work across the surface without frequent cold spots slowing throughput. At 15kg it is manageable enough to transport and position without heavy lifting equipment, which suits operators who are regularly setting up and breaking down at different locations.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Large cooking area suited to simultaneous multi-item service
- Flat plate construction simplifies cleaning between covers
- Gas operation removes dependency on mains electricity at site
- Compact footprint relative to cooking surface area
- Straightforward set-up with no complex installation requirements
As this unit is designed for outdoor use, it should not be operated in enclosed or insufficiently ventilated spaces. Operators will need a compatible gas supply and appropriate regulator for their cylinder type — this is worth confirming before the first event. The unit is not intended for permanent indoor installation. For very high-volume outdoor catering where output demands are more sustained, a heavier-duty double-burner or larger surface model may be worth considering.
This griddle is a practical choice for mobile caterers, event operators, and outdoor hospitality venues that need reliable gas cooking without fixed infrastructure. It is equally well suited to smaller catering businesses looking for an affordable entry point into outdoor flat-plate cooking.
If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or have questions about gas compatibility for your setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.
£85.49(£102.59 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 10-litre soup kettle is a countertop bain-marie-style unit designed to hold soups, stews, sauces and similar dishes at a stable serving temperature throughout service. The vessel is finished in a copper effect, making it well suited to front-of-house or servery settings where presentation matters alongside function. The inner construction is stainless steel, which keeps cleaning straightforward and stands up to daily use without deterioration.
In a busy service environment, consistent holding temperature is what separates a smooth lunch run from one where staff are constantly reheating. This kettle operates across a wide temperature range, making it practical for anything from a light broth held just above 60°C through to a thicker chilli or curry kept closer to the upper end. It is sized for moderate-volume operations — a café, hotel breakfast service, canteen, or casual dining kitchen where one or two varieties of soup or hot dish are on the menu at any time.
- Copper-effect exterior suited to servery and front-of-house display
- Stainless steel interior — easy to clean and hygienic under regular use
- Wide temperature range supports a variety of hot dishes, not just soups
- Pre-labelled for common menu items including soups, chilli, curry, and porridge
- Plug-in 230V operation — no special installation required
Installation is simple. The unit runs from a standard 230V socket and requires no plumbing or fixed electrical connection, so it can be positioned where it is most useful — whether that is on a servery counter, a breakfast station, or a back-of-house hot-holding line. There is no extraction requirement, and the compact footprint means it sits comfortably on most counters without disrupting workflow.
This model is well suited to operations serving one or two hot dishes at a time in moderate volumes. It is not intended for high-volume production kitchens requiring continuous large-batch holding — for those sites, a larger-capacity unit would be the more practical choice. Similarly, if you need to hold multiple soups or dishes simultaneously, pairing two units or stepping up to a higher-capacity model is worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this kettle fits your service pattern or counter setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
£95.61(£114.73 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 4 Litre Rice Cooker is a straightforward, dedicated appliance designed to produce consistent, correctly cooked rice in a commercial setting. It takes up to 4.2 litres of dry rice and yields around 10 litres once cooked — a practical batch size for many catering operations. Once the rice is ready, the unit automatically drops into a keep-warm cycle, holding the product at a safe serving temperature without any manual intervention.
In a busy kitchen, rice cookers like this earn their place by running reliably in the background while the team focuses elsewhere. The automatic switch to keep-warm means staff are not tied to monitoring the unit, and the risk of rice drying out or overcooking during service is significantly reduced. The stainless steel construction holds up well in commercial environments and is straightforward to keep clean.
Practical benefits for kitchen operators include:
- Set-and-leave operation frees up staff attention during service
- Automatic keep-warm cycle maintains safe holding temperatures
- Consistent results across different rice varieties
- Stainless steel build suits busy, high-contact kitchen environments
- Compact footprint works well on a counter or prep station
This unit connects to a standard 13-amp socket, so there are no specialist electrical requirements. At 5kg it is easy to reposition and store, which suits kitchens where counter space is shared or managed carefully. It is supplied with a measuring cup and serving spoon.
This cooker is well suited to cafés, staff canteens, small restaurants, and takeaways where rice is a regular menu item but not necessarily produced in very high volumes throughout the day. For operations cooking rice continuously across a long service period or in significantly larger batches, a higher-capacity unit may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your service volumes, the team are happy to help you work that out before you order.
£108.00(£129.60 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 6 litre food steamer is a compact countertop unit designed for steaming a wide range of food items in a commercial kitchen setting. It operates on a standard 1kW connection and is built from stainless steel throughout, making it a practical choice for kitchens where durability and hygiene are daily priorities.
In a working kitchen environment, this steamer is well suited to producing vegetables, fish, chicken, dim sum, and hot dogs with consistent results. The 6 litre capacity makes it a practical fit for smaller service volumes — think café kitchens, snack bars, or as a secondary unit in a larger operation where a dedicated steaming station handles overflow or specific menu items. Recovery between batches is reasonable for the power output, though during sustained peak service it is worth setting realistic expectations around throughput compared to higher-capacity steam equipment.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:
- Simple controls that require minimal training for kitchen staff
- Removable steaming basket that makes cleaning quick between service periods
- Stainless steel construction that withstands daily commercial use and routine sanitising
- Compact footprint that fits onto a standard prep counter without displacing other equipment
Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard 13A plug socket and no water line connection, which keeps setup simple and allows flexibility in where it is positioned. There are no ventilation requirements beyond sensible placement away from combustible materials. At 4.2kg it is light enough to reposition as needed.
This steamer is best suited to low-to-medium volume operations or kitchens needing a simple, reliable steaming solution for a focused range of menu items. For sites with higher throughput demands or a broader steaming requirement, a larger-capacity unit would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service volume or menu requirements, the team at Advantage is happy to talk it through with you before you order.
£222.00(£266.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo large rice cooker is a straightforward, countertop appliance designed for commercial kitchens where rice features heavily on the menu. It operates on a cook-and-keep-warm cycle — once the rice is cooked, it holds automatically at serving temperature without requiring manual intervention. The stainless steel construction is hardwearing and suited to the demands of a busy kitchen environment.
In service, the large capacity means operators can cook a full batch in one cycle rather than running multiple smaller units or batches in sequence. This is particularly useful during prep windows before a peak service period, where bulk cooking and then holding is the practical approach. The automatic switch to keep-warm means rice stays at a consistent temperature and doesn't dry out or overcook while service is under way.
From an operational standpoint, the benefits are straightforward:
- Automatic keep-warm reduces the need for constant monitoring during service
- Large batch capacity supports high-volume covers without repeated cycling
- Stainless steel exterior is easy to wipe down and withstands daily commercial use
- Supplied with spatula, spoon, and rice measure to support consistent portioning
- Simple operation reduces training time for kitchen staff
Installation is uncomplicated — this is a countertop appliance requiring only a standard electrical connection and adequate worktop space. At 15.5kg it is manageable to position and reposition as needed. There are no water or drainage connections required. It is worth ensuring the unit is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface clear of obstructions to the steam vent.
This cooker is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, takeaways, staff canteens, and pub kitchens where rice is a menu staple but output demands are manageable within a single large batch. For very high-volume operations — large event catering, central production kitchens, or sites running continuous service across multiple sections — a heavier-duty or higher-capacity solution may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this capacity suits your service volume, we're happy to talk through your typical covers and advise accordingly.
