commercial cooking equipment

Rice is a food that, in America at least, usually takes something of a backseat to whatever other foods it's paired with.

Most restaurants include a deep fryer among their restaurant equipment. But not all of them use the fast cooking it provides to its full potential. The french fries served with the burger menu and the buffalo wing appetizers are the typical items on any menu. Many restaurants never use the fryer to create innovative and unique dishes for their customers.

For new and veteran foodservice operators alike, purchasing new equipment can be a financial burden. Many turn to leasing in order to cope with the costly investment, but some wonder whether or not leasing is the right choice if they already have available funds.
