The Future of Cooking: Embracing All-Electric Kitchens with Waring
The time has come to reconsider the preference in favor of an all-electric kitchen compared to gas appliances. Waring is leading this transition with a range of equipment from induction burners and countertop ovens to griddles and sandwich makers.
The Hood-Free Advantage
One of the most significant benefits of electric kitchens, as noted by Rich Rosendale, a member of the Waring Collective, is the potential to operate without a hood. Gas appliances require extensive venting, but electric setups can often bypass this necessity. Rosendale’s establishments, Forklift and the pop-up restaurant R3, serve as prime examples of efficient, hoodless electric kitchens. "If we had to use gas," Rosendale explains, "there would have been more inspections to get it done." This streamlined setup saves time and reduces the complexity of opening new locations.
Versatility and Portability
Electric kitchens also offer unmatched versatility and portability. Without the need for gas lines, chefs can assemble a battery of appliances that are not only ideal for primary kitchens but also perfect for on-the-go setups. This flexibility is crucial for catering operations, food trucks, and off-site food preparation for the food insecure or disaster relief efforts. Johnny Spero, another Waring Collective member, finds this mobility invaluable for expanding culinary ventures.
Sustainability and Modularity
Sustainability is another compelling reason to switch to electric. Jeremy Umansky, a proponent of green kitchens, appreciates the environmental benefits of going all-electric. "All electric is good because that can mean a green kitchen," he says. The modular nature of electric appliances allows for the creation of dynamic workstations, adapting to various culinary needs.
In a compact and budget-conscious setup, Umansky's electric kitchen features undercounter refrigeration, induction cooktops, countertop ovens, an immersion blender, and a thermal holder—proving that even small spaces can efficiently operate without gas or a walk-in fridge.
Speed and Ease of Permitting
The speed of setup and ease of permitting are additional advantages. Bradley Kilgore, another Waring Collective member, emphasizes how quickly an electric kitchen can be up and running. His collection includes induction cooktops, a pasta cooker, and a blender, showcasing the range of possibilities with electric appliances.
