Buying Guide
Hot Kitchen Equipment in Kenya — What to Know
What this line covers
The hot kitchen line includes island and wall cooking stations, free-standing ranges, chargrills, griddles, fryers, and stock pot stoves. These products are the backbone of line-cooking kitchens in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and beyond.
Why operators choose it
We build around speed, heat control, and easy cleaning. Every unit is fabricated to help chefs move efficiently through service while keeping the kitchen durable and visually professional.
Best for
Hotels, restaurants, cafes, institutional kitchens, catering operations, and any project that needs dependable stainless cooking equipment made for daily commercial use.
Also searched as commercial cooking equipment, commercial cookers, kitchen stoves, commercial hot plates and commercial kitchen appliances — all names for the fabricated gas cooking line described here.
How to Size a Commercial Cooking Line
Size the line to peak covers, not daily totals. A kitchen serving 80 covers in a two-hour dinner service needs more simultaneous burner capacity than one serving 200 covers spread across a day.
- Count the dishes cooked to order at peak, then allow one burner or well per concurrent dish
- Allow 600 mm of working width per chef position on the line
- Keep fryers away from open flame and out of the main walkway
- Leave 900–1,100 mm of clear aisle behind the line for two-way passing
Island Suite or Wall Line?
An island suite is worked from both sides and suits brigade kitchens where several chefs run parallel sections. A wall-type line is cheaper to ventilate and better for narrow rooms, because a wall canopy costs less than an island canopy of the same extract volume.
Gas, Electric or Both
Most Kenyan commercial kitchens run LPG for cooking because it is cheaper per kW than grid electricity and unaffected by outages. We fabricate for gas, electric or mixed lines, and every gas installation is commissioned with a leak and burner test before handover.

Hot Kitchen — Frequently Asked Questions
What commercial cooking equipment does a restaurant kitchen in Kenya need?
At minimum: a gas range for sauces and à la carte, a fryer, a griddle or chargrill for grilled items, and a stock pot stove if you produce stocks or stews in bulk. Everything sits under an extraction canopy sized to the full cooking suite, not to individual pieces.
How much does a commercial cooker cost in Kenya?
A fabricated free-standing gas range runs about KES 85,000 to 240,000 depending on burner count and whether it has an oven base. A full combined island cooking station ranges from KES 380,000 to 1,200,000.
Is stainless steel Grade 201 or 304 better for a cooking line?
Grade 304 resists corrosion better and is the right choice for surfaces in constant contact with food, moisture and cleaning chemicals. Grade 201 is more economical and suits frames, stands and lower-contact structural parts. We quote both and advise per component.
Can you match a cooking line to an existing extraction hood?
Yes. We measure the existing canopy and fabricate the line to fit its coverage, or advise if the canopy is undersized — it should extend at least 300 mm beyond the outer edge of the cooking equipment on every exposed side.
