Leadership in Correctional Kitchen Equipment

(SANEPR.com) June 8, 2009 -- As a dealer in correctional kitchen equipment and products, Cook’s is capable of fully outfitting a correctional kitchen – from sporks to steam tables, whips to walk-in freezers, and everything in between. We also design and build specialty equipment and customize heavy duty kitchen equipment for the jail and prison market. As a Cook's customer you can expect:

•Product features that meet the security, quality and heavy duty usage standards required for corrections
•Recommended products that have proven application in jails and prisons, with many equipment offering heavy duty jail/prison packages
•Exclusive equipment and products designed for corrections

Knowledgeable, Responsive Service

Cook’s customer service representatives provide a level of service well above simple order-taking.

• Knowledgeable counsel about the right products for a facility’s specific needs
• Responsiveness to time constraints and financial needs
• Fast turnarounds for pricing information and quotations.
Experience
To select and recommend products, Cook’s draws on more than two decades of experience in correctional food service management, consulting and operations.
• Experience is why Cook’s doesn’t recommend wire shelving, motorized tray assembly conveyors, wall shelves or tables with unnecessary drawers. All these products are security risks in a correctional kitchen.
• Experience is what makes Cook’s staff ask about inmate population, menus, meal delivery system and other kitchen equipment before recommending a size or type of steam kettle, oven or griddle. A 3-foot griddle may be the wrong purchase if it can’t produce enough portions fast enough for a facility’s population.
• Experience is why Cook’s recommends all-welded tables and shelving that can be bolted to the floor, stainless steel coverings for equipment controls and correctional fasteners in lieu of screws, bolts and rivets.

Large Inventory of products and Same Day Shipping

Cook’s stocks many of the products you see in our catalog and we ship FAST. Orders received by 2:30 p.m. CST, will ship that same day. Ask us about our expedited delivery service using UPS.
