Electric Heating and cooking

[bripastryguy]

I have a small pastry shop that was converted from a hair salon: galley like, long rectangle, no windows, front door, back door, lots of excess heat being produced by refridgerator compressors....so what my deal is.... I'm pulling out my existing cooktop (Wells 2 burner frenchplate-only 1 burner works and takes a long time to heat up) to make room for a 36,000 btu air conditioner to make life bearable. I need replacement suggestions. They will be used atleast once a day, and must support "some" weight from double boilers (rondo, water, and bowl). I purchased 2 Waring professional burners, they're ok but still not enuff ummmphh for me. Anyone got any suggestions? Must be 110v single phase as I am maxed out in my panel. Budget of around $500, was considering induction, but would need something with a 12 inch diameter cooking surface

I am in the same situation as you. I am in a small space with a pastry chef and his ovens create heat! I need to get an a/c unit. I am going to buy an induction hobb. They do come in different sizes.
