Hi everyone, I'm Wang Gang
Many fans have left their comments
and asked some questions
Today I'm shooting this video to explain to you guys
something about this cooking stove
One fan asked me how much does this whole set of cooking system take?
I'll calculate how much it costs in total later in this video
Another fan said that
he wanted me to tell the price just to let him give up the thought of buying this
I'll talk about this later
Another fan said that, no matter in the restaurant or at home
He thinks induction cooker is cheaper and more practical
Indeed, induction cooker is easy to use and small
You can even bring it with you
But it's limited to family use, or those who live alone
Right? It's quite portable
However, in the case of professional use
I've never cooked any dish with induction cooker
In restaurant kitchens, we only use induction cookers to make soup if there is no other choice
Or stew some food
But we never use induction cookers to make stir-fry dishes
Because if you stir-fry food with it
It's OK in the beginning when the wok is still hot
However when you put more food into the wok, it turns into "boiling" instead of "stir-frying"
Alright. Let me introduce this now
Most fans are really concerned about the price. That's the most frequently asked question too.
Let me tell you so that you can give up
This one, as you can see
This table made of stainless steel is called "Da He Tai" (Spreader table)
Well, its price can vary
depending on how thick the steel "skin" is
The thinnest sheet can be 0.4 mm
While some are 0.6 mm
and 1.0 mm
Generally a "Da He Tai" with 0.4 mm thick sheet is about 300 yuan
The dimensions of this table are 80 cm in width and height, while 1.8 m in length
For the cheapest ones, if you press it with your hand
there'll be a dent on it
In that case, the quality is really bad
This one that I bought is with 0.6 mm-thick sheet
With a wooden board sandwiched in the middle
It's pretty ideal for family use
But in a professional kitchen
It's better to use the table with a sheet thickness over 1.0 mm
Because for those tables (with sheets thicker than 1.0 mm)
when you chop the food, or hit it hard, the table won't deform
It's of high quality, but very expensive
The table with 0.6 mm-thick skin is more than 900 yuan
For those with sheet over 1.0 mm thick, the price also depends on if there are shelving racks
and sliding doors
The cheapest two-layer table without sliding door is about 1,600 yuan
If it's with sliding doors and shelving racks, it will be at least 2,000 yuan
Typically in a professional kitchen, for each cooking stove
It should be accompanied with at least two tables
So here we've got two tables, assuming they are the most expensive ones, it would be more than 3,000 yuan
3,800 yuan
For these two, I spent 1,960 yuan
1,960 yuan for these two tables
The second thing is the cutting board
You see, this cutting board is so thick
about 10-20 cm thick
This one is not expensive though
But very bulky and heavy
It's about 50-60 Jin (25-30 kg)
And it's about 120 yuan
Well, it's not expensive indeed
It should be one of the cheapest things in kitchen
Next, the cleaver
Well, it doesn't matter what kind of cleaver you use in family kitchen
Some fans say you can buy one for 5 yuan
However, if you want to use a better one
You need to spend at least 100 yuan for a high quality cleaver
Choose the brand on your own
Now I'm gonna talk about the most important thing, the cooking stove
This stove I bought is with the best configurations
It's about 3,800 yuan
If you want even better configurations
For example, with two blowers
You need to pay extra money
That's about 1,000 yuan
So that's about 4,800 yuan in total, excluding the delivery charge
Since the seller usually doesn't include the delivery charge in the price
as he must deliver it to you, which costs some money
With the delivery charge included...
I bought this from Chengdu. To deliver it here,
I spent about 800 yuan just for delivery
In addition, actually you can't use them immediately even if you have all these stuff
For example, if you wanna use LPG, you'll also need to buy gas tanks
Or, if you want to use natural gas, you need to sign a contract with some company
I don't know how much that'll cost
You can also use eco-friendly oil instead
It's not hard to switch between different fuels
You can replace the stove core according to the type of fuel. It's simple and cheap
This is the first issue. The fuel
Secondly, you need to have electricity supply
You know, there's a blower
You'll need (to buy) cables for the blower
It consumes electricity as well
Electricity and fuel supply are still not enough though
Water is also needed
Because the temperature of this stove is relatively high
If there's no water here, it'll be burnt easily
So you need to connect water supply as well
Moreover, the most important point
The range hood
Suppose your building is very tall
and you'll need an exhaust duct from the first floor to the roof
The price can be very high
In one of the restaurants that I worked in, they spent 100,000 yuan on installing an exhaust duct pipe
If you want to have it in your home
In the countryside, of course, not in the city
It's very hard to install this in your home in the city
It'll also be very noisy
In your home... If you really want to have a whole set of these equipments
In total, I mean, when you can really start cooking
I think the budget will be approximately 10,000 yuan
And... what do I suggest?
In fact I don't suggest you to do so (have such a set in your home)
First, the price is high enough to let you give up
Second, the operations are also very complicated
And at last,
even if you have all these
It'll be a trouble if you can't use them
For example, you must use this wok when cooking. The woks for family cooking cannot be used here
Also, since it's really big
You can't use a spatula and cook as usual
You'll need cooking skills like this
It's not practical that you buy such a set of equipments and spend 10 or 8 years on learning how to cook professionally
It's not realistic
So for you guys, it's not recommended that you buy all these for family use
If you really want to...
to have these in your home, I would suggest you
You don't actually need a dual-stove cooker
There's single-stove cooker. It's much cheaper
First, the delivery fee is rather low
Second, it's cheap as well
For a single-stove cooker, it's about 1,000 yuan
It's also with a blower
It occupies much less area than this one
So it's easy to operate
This set here is middle-end
You can buy a small one instead
and try if you can handle it
If you do, you can upgrade it gradually in the future
I mean, if cooking is your hobby
For this set here, if all with the best configurations
In total it'll be about 20,000 yuan, excluding the range hood
That is, twice the price now
If with the simplest configurations
300 yuan for the spreading table
and about 1,000 yuan for a single-stove cooker with a blower
as well as the cutting board, etc.
All add up below 2,000 yuan
That's also OK
Some fans also asked
why I bought this set here
Actually I buy them
because I want to share with you how it works
Maybe you guys have never seen what it's like in real restaurant kitchens
Also, I want to share with you from the first step of cooking
From flipping food in the wok, to whatever I can
I'll share with you
That's why I bought this set of equipments
Ok that's the end of this video
If you like my videos, please subscribe
I'll share with you in the future. We still have a lot of time to learn
I'm also learning continuously
and I'll share more with you
Ok. That's the end
Bye-bye!
