Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Pros: The one-touch programmable keys are superb for reducing staff error and  speeding up service.
  • Cons: At nearly 35kg, it’s a hefty unit that needs careful placement.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Siren, a popular seafood bistro in Whitby, needed to speed up their kitchen prep for hot starters and  desserts. Their existing microwave was slow and  unreliable, creating a bottleneck during the busy tourist season.

"The Blizzard BCM1800 has been a revelation. We’ve programmed it for our bestsellers, and  now every dish comes out perfectly heated in a fraction of the time. The kitchen is calmer, and  service is so much smoother."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

Since installation, The Salty Siren has successfully reduced average heating times by over 40%, allowing them to serve more customers during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, sturdy countertop that can easily support the unit's 34.5kg weight.
  • Leave at least 10cm of clear space around the sides, top, and  back for proper ventilation.
  • Plug directly into a suitable 13 amp socket – avoid using extension cords.
  • Before first use, wipe the interior with a damp cloth and  run it empty for 30 seconds.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe up spills inside immediately to prevent them from baking on.
  • Clean the ceramic base and  interior daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Regularly check the door seal for any food debris or damage to ensure it closes tightly.
  • Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals on the stainless steel exterior or interior.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Microwave

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a high power catering microwave for your business.

Power (Wattage)

Higher wattage means faster cooking. For most professional kitchens doing quick heating, 1500W-2000W is the sweet spot.

Capacity & Size

Check the internal dimensions to ensure your typical plates or containers will fit. A flat base offers more usable space than a turntable.

Controls: Manual vs. Programmable

Programmable models are fantastic for consistency with a set menu. Manual dials are simpler and  better for highly varied tasks.

Usage Level

Be honest about how much you'll use it. Light-duty models won't last in a busy restaurant. This BCM1800 is a heavy-duty model built for constant use.

Space Saving Features

If counter space is tight, look for stackable models like this one to double your microwave capacity in the same footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does a ceramic base mean?

A: It means there is no turntable. The base is flat and  stationary, which makes it far easier to clean and  allows you to use square or rectangular dishes without them getting stuck.

Q: Is 1800W powerful enough for a busy restaurant?

A: Absolutely. 1800W is considered a heavy-duty power rating, designed for rapid heating and  defrosting in high-turnover environments like a professional 1800w microwave for restaurant.

Q: Can I stack two of these units?

A: Yes, the Blizzard BCM1800 is designed to be stackable and  comes with the necessary kit to do so safely, which is a great space-saver.

Q: How do I use the programmable buttons?

A: You can easily set a specific time and  power level to each of the 10 programme keys. The user manual provides simple step-by-step instructions for this.

Q: What kind of plug does it come with?

A: It comes fitted with a standard UK 3-pin, 13 amp plug, so you can plug it straight into a regular socket.

Q: What is the defrost function like?

A: The defrost setting is one of the five power levels. It uses a lower power output to thaw food evenly without starting to cook the outside.

Q: How big is the internal capacity?

A: The net capacity is 34 litres, which is spacious enough to accommodate multi-portion dishes or large dinner plates with ease.

Q: Is the interior light replaceable?

A: Yes, the interior light bulb can be replaced. Please refer to the user manual for the correct bulb specification and  replacement instructions.

Unlock Flawless Consistency: How Programmable Keys Work for You

Ever had a dish sent back because it was cold in the middle one day and  scorching the next? The '10 Programme Keys' on this microwave are designed to eliminate that problem for good. Instead of manually typing in the time and  power level for your most common items, you can save a specific setting to a single button.

Think of it like a speed dial for your cooking. You might set Button 1 for a '90-second blast at 100% power' for your soup, and  Button 2 for a '3-minute gentle heat at 50% power' for your sticky toffee pudding. It means any member of your team, from the head chef to a new kitchen porter, can produce the exact same result every single time just by pressing one button. It’s a simple feature that massively boosts speed, reduces mistakes, and  ensures your food quality never wavers.

Who Should Buy This?
