Bucks County has some astonishing restaurants that offer many different cuisines, including Cajun, Japanese, Italian, and Texas barbecue. In our region, you can enjoy soul food, steakhouse cuts, farm-to-table fare and more.
One thing that so many of these top-tier eateries have in common is that they use propane gas for their appliances. A survey recently found that 96% of professional chefs prefer cooking with gas. East Coast Propane proudly supplies fuel to restaurants in Levittown, Doylestown, Newtown and other cities and towns in our service area. Let’s discuss some of the top-tier propane products that restaurants use.
What makes cooking with propane so attractive to professional chefs? The reasons are numerous. Propane boasts a much lower carbon intensity compared to grid-based electricity, and unlike natural gas, it contains no methane!
As a primarily U.S.-produced fuel, propane has demonstrated greater price stability compared to other energy sources. Furthermore, gas cooking typically holds more appeal than electricity. Here’s why:
Chefs count on propane cooktops and ranges, roasting and baking in propane ovens. Propane runs the grills, griddles, steam cookers, warming stations, and vat fryers, too. All these can really save you money! The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) did the math and found that ENERGY STAR-rated propane cooking products usually offer better energy savings than electric alternatives.
For generating hot water, propane is unmatched. Propane water heaters boast double the recovery rate (the amount of hot water produced per hour) of electric models. With significantly less energy, you can create ample hot water to power commercial-grade dishwashers, sanitize pots, pans, knives, and food-prep surfaces, and ensure your tablecloths and napkins are brilliantly white.
Restaurants and hospitality businesses utilize propane beyond their commercial kitchens. This versatile fuel is crucial for systems and appliances that enhance customer comfort. It powers furnaces and patio heaters that keep patrons warm on cold winter nights. Propane also contributes to the ambiance with features like gas logs, firepits, fire tables, and outdoor fireplaces.
