Choose from electric or gas fryers, with capacities ranging from 15 to 100 pounds. We also offer countertop and floor models, including ventless options for tight spaces.

Prep Stations

Salad & Sandwich Prep Tables

Refrigerated Prep Tables feature a customizable refrigerated base with doors or drawers for storing bulk ingredients. The top includes a cold well for ingredient pans and a workspace that accommodates cutting boards from 8” to 17” deep, depending on the model. Pan rails in these mobile prep tables come with hinged glass, stainless-steel covers, or roll-back hoods to keep ingredients cold when not in use. Mega-top models offer larger wells to hold more ingredients, and pan rails can be adjusted for different pan sizes based on your needs.

Food Warmers, Blenders, Stick Mixers & More

Countertop cooking appliances encompass the full range of cooking equipment, not just microwave ovens or toasters. And Gator Chef offers all types of countertop cooking equipment, including countertop fryers, convection ovens, conveyor ovens, steamers, induction burners, gas ranges, and specialty commercial cooking appliances like panini and sandwich grills, rice cookers, gyro machines, griddles, and waffle makers.
