B&S WATERLESS WOK COOKER RANGE The wok cooking table is seen as the backbone of most Asian restaurant kitchens, and with water conservation continuing to be a significant environmental issue, B&S has designed a new waterless wok cooker range that will not only save you money on your water bill, but will also assist in the conservation of our precious water supplies. Owing to the extreme amount of heat emitted by wok cookers, conventional appliances require water flowing across the deck of the appliance to cool it down and to prevent the deck from buckling. The new B&S waterless wok range has an air gap located between the ring and the cooking deck eliminating the need for water deck cooling. This ensures that exposed surface temperatures are kept to a minimum and buckling does not occur. ![]() The combination of no water deck cooling and timed water flows to the laundry arm ensures a reduction in water consumption, resulting in a decrease in sewerage usage and waste discharge fees. Another benefit of the waterless wok range when compared to other wok cookers on the market is that it requires less maintenance as there are no leaking rings to repair. Repairs of leaking rings often results in down time and this can have a negative effect to the operation of the restaurant. If leaks are not repaired, corrosion and reduced life of the appliance may occur. In other words, the wok pays for itself! Another water saving feature in our new waterless wok range is the optional knee operated laundry arm valve that is fitted with an automatic timer. This helps minimise water usage by chefs when they are filling the water reservoir used whilst cooking meals, and upon cleaning the wok in between meals as only a 15-second flow of water is fed through the laundry arm at a time. All burners are lever action gas controlled and are fitted with a flame failure safety devise. |
