Ready to Add Dessert to Your Menu? Here Are 4 Equipment Pieces You’ll Need

Everybody loves dessert, especially after a great meal. As a restaurant owner, it’s always a good idea to have dessert options available for your customers. They’re easy items to add to your menu and can be fairly cost-effective dishes.

If you don’t already have a dessert menu or you want to add more dessert dishes to your menu, here are some options to consider:

• Baked goods (cupcakes, cookies, scones, etc.)

• Pies

• Cakes

• Ice cream

• Gelato

• Frozen yogurt

• Specialty desserts, such as crème brulée or tiramisu

Each of these is pretty simple to make and sell at your restaurant. You just need the right equipment, which can be bought at Kohn-Megibow Company. You can find the dessert equipment you need at KMC for a fraction of the price that it would cost you to buy it new. We offer quality used restaurant equipment in our bi-weekly auctions at our warehouse in Anaheim.

Here are some pieces of equipment you might need for your dessert menu:

1. Countertop Convection Oven
When it comes to baked goods like pies, cookies, and cakes, you will need a good convection oven. Odds are you already have one, but you might be using it to make the main dishes. Consider a secondary countertop convection oven that will take up minimal space while giving you a dedicated oven just for cooking baked desserts. At KMC, we receive these types of ovens on a frequent basis.

2. Smallwares
You cannot make your tasty desserts without smallwares! Baking pans, aluminum baking sheets, muffin tins, silicone molds, stainless steel mixing bowls, mixers, whisks, and spatulas will all likely be on your shopping list. KMC regularly gets good quality smallwares for baking. Buying these pieces new can add up quickly, so you will save a lot of money getting what you need at Kohn-Megibow Company. For example, silicone baking molds can be very expensive new. KMC gets them in occasionally and they sell for a discounted price at our auctions.

3. Soft Serve Machines
If you’re looking to prepare and serve ice cream, frozen yogurt or gelato at your restaurant, you need a good soft serve machine. They are easy to maintain and people love soft serve treats. KMC offers soft-serve machines made by Taylor, Wellspring, Electro Freeze and other top manufacturers. We have larger floor models and smaller countertop machines to suit your needs.

4. Dessert Serving Plates
KMC receives a ton of different serving plates in stock and they always sell for incredibly low prices. Some plates are slightly used, if not completely new, and they are perfect for serving slices of pie, cake or other desserts. We also have parfait glasses and sundae dishes for your frozen dessert items.
