Answer to Question 1

visit equipment trade shows; visit other foodservices that utilize this equipment; look through equipment catalogs, brochures, spec sheets; visit utility companies' demonstration facilities; read trade journals and magazines; talk to equipment reps; write definite specs; solicit bids

Answer to Question 2

Pressureless steamer - high nutrient retention, safe operation, cooks quickly, low energy cost, batch cooking
High-pressure steamer - high nutrient retention, cooks very quickly, low energy cost, small batch cooking, can overcook
Low-pressure steamer - high nutrient retention, cooks quickly, low energy cost, batch cooking
Tilting fry pan - vegetables can be stir fried, good nutrient retention, must then be panned, less energy efficient, larger batches possible
Steam jacketed kettle - low nutrient retention, larger batches possible
