Buying Guide: Woodson Countertop Equipment
| Criteria | Hot Food Displays (HFS/HFSQ) | Bain Maries (BMS) | Countertop Ductless Hoods (CHD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Front‑of‑house hot holding & merchandising | Back‑ or front‑of‑house hot holding | Electric appliances where ducting isn’t feasible |
| Output | 3–6 GN modules, IR lamps + in‑tank heat | 1/1 GN (and combos); wet holding for gentle heat | Recirculating filtration; suits electric loads up to spec |
| Power/Setup | Single/3‑phase variants; confirm amperage | Electric; fill, heat, hold; drain/clean after service | 10 A plug models; electric appliances only (no gas/solid fuel) |
| Maintenance | Daily glass wipe‑down; descale tanks as needed | Boil‑out/descale; sanitise pans & lids | Clean/replace filters on schedule; visual checks |
Tip: Plan your GN pan mix to match turnover (1/1 for staples, 1/2–1/3 for sides). Use square‑glass displays for maximum visibility; self‑serve variants require sneeze guards and queue planning.
How to specify Woodson
- Choose application: display (HFS/HFSQ), holding (BMS), or ventilation (CHD).
- Match module count (3–6) and GN pan sizes to peak covers & menu.
- Confirm power (amperage/phase) and bench space/clearances.
- Select staff‑serve vs self‑serve (HFSS) and accessories (trolleys, cutting boards).
- Plan cleaning SOPs: daily wipe‑downs; periodic descale/boil‑out; filter maintenance.
FAQ
Is Woodson Australian‑made?
Yes. Woodson hot display lines are Australian‑made and the brand heritage dates back to 1957.
Square vs straight glass—what should I pick?
Square glass (HFSQ) maximises product visibility and contemporary presentation; straight glass (HFS) offers classic styling and easy cleaning. Both use GN modules with in‑tank heat and overhead IR lamps.
Can a countertop ductless hood replace traditional ducting?
For electric appliances within the unit’s kW rating, yes—certified countertop ductless hoods provide compliant recirculating filtration where full ducting isn’t feasible. They are not suitable for gas or solid fuel.
