GHI Webinar: The future of sustainable kitchen design: Induction Cooking
January 12, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am PST
This educational course will cover the topic of sustainable food service, looking particularly at how all-electric kitchens, specifically induction cooking equipment, can transform commercial food service. High performance electric kitchens save a considerable amount of energy, compared to traditional gas kitchens. Eliminating combustion from the commercial kitchen also dramatically improves thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and even human psychology. The course will delve into these topics and provide the audience with real-world examples.
