Shop Empero by Category

Chef's Deal organizes Empero equipment into 4 categories: cooking equipment, pizza and bakery equipment, food prep and mixing equipment, and holding and transport equipment.

Empero Cooking Equipment: Charbroilers, Griddles, Kebab Grills & Rotisserie

Empero's cooking equipment line covers gas charbroilers, gas griddles, and electric hotplates built for high-volume grilling and searing. The range includes shish kebab grills and rotisserie ovens rooted in Empero's Turkish and European heritage, giving operators specialty cooking capability that general-line manufacturers rarely offer.

• Gas Charbroilers: Direct-flame charbroilers use heavy-duty stainless steel bodies and cast iron grates to sear burgers, steaks, and kebabs at continuous commercial volume.
• Gas Griddles: Flat-top gas griddles provide even cooking surfaces for breakfast, burger, and high-turnover menus in stainless steel countertop and floor configurations.
• Electric Hotplates: Empero's electric cooktops are available in 2, 4, or 6 burners for high-output kitchens without gas service.
• Shish Kebab Grills: Purpose-built kebab grills support skewered and Turkish-style grilling, a specialty format rooted in Empero's regional cooking heritage.
• Rotisserie Ovens: Rotating-spit rotisserie ovens cook chicken, döner, and other rotisserie-style menu items continuously through service.

Empero Pizza & Bakery Equipment: Deck Ovens, Countertop Pizza Ovens & Dough Sheeters

Empero's pizza and bakery equipment includes pizza deck ovens, countertop pizza ovens, and dough sheeters and roller machines. Pizzerias and bakeries use this equipment to bake and prep dough-based menus at commercial volume.

• Pizza Deck Ovens: Empero's single-deck gas ovens feature all stainless-steel exteriors, aluminized steel interiors, and heavy-duty steel legs.
• Countertop Pizza Ovens: Countertop electric pizza ovens provide authentic stone-baked results available in 9, 12, or 15 medium-size pizzas.
• Dough Sheeters: Countertop 2-pass dough sheeters produce up to 400 pieces per hour in 6 adjustable thicknesses.

Empero Food Prep & Mixing: Planetary Mixers

Empero's food prep and mixing line centers on commercial planetary mixers built for high-throughput dough and batter production. Bakeries, pizzerias, and full-service kitchens rely on these mixers for consistent, repeatable batches. These commercial mixers feature a 60-qt bowl, 3-HP motor, heavy-duty gear transmission, and variable speed control.

Empero Holding & Transport: Warming Drawers, Insulated Carriers, Dollies & Parts

Empero's holding and transport equipment includes warming drawers and insulated food pan carriers (Thermobox), and utility dollies for moving hot and cold product through a kitchen. This category also covers oven parts and accessories, such as deck-oven legs, for Empero equipment already in service.

Why Operators Choose Empero

Operators choose Empero for the operational advantages a full-line, factory-direct manufacturer offers across cooking, pizza and bakery, prep, and holding equipment. The reasons include construction, sourcing, specialty capability, service, and price.

• Heavy-duty stainless steel construction withstands continuous commercial use across charbroilers, griddles, and ovens.
• Sourcing cooking, pizza and bakery, prep, and holding equipment from one manufacturer simplifies purchasing and keeps specifications consistent across a kitchen.
• Specialty cooking capability, including shish kebab grills, rotisserie ovens, and pizza deck ovens, lets operators run kebab, rotisserie, and dough-based menu concepts without piecing equipment together from multiple brands.
• Available parts and service support keeps equipment running through years of daily volume.
• Value pricing relative to premium Western European brands makes Empero equipment accessible to independent operators opening or upgrading a kitchen.

Consideratuibs for Choosing the Right Empero Equipment

Choosing the right Empero equipment depends on matching the cooking platform, installation type, and fuel source to your menu and kitchen.

• Cooking Platform: A charbroiler suits open-flame grilling, a griddle suits high-volume flat-top cooking, a shish kebab grill suits skewered and rotisserie-style items, and a pizza deck oven suits dough-based menus.
• Installation Type: Countertop models fit tight kitchens and lower volume, while floor models suit higher-volume, continuous-duty service.
• Fuel Source: Gas models typically offer faster recovery where a gas line is available, while electric models simplify installation where gas service is limited.

Size equipment to projected volume, not current volume alone. Confirm ventilation requirements before installing charbroilers, griddles, or kebab grills, since high-heat cooking equipment generally requires a compliant exhaust hood.
