All-electric kitchen paves the way for healthier and efficient community cooking
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - SMUD is proud to announce the unveiling of an all-electric commercial kitchen at the Sacramento Asian Sports Foundation (SASF), made possible through SMUD's Community Impact Plan's Business District Electrification program.
The SASF's all-electric kitchen upgrade replaced all gas appliances with advanced electric equipment, including an induction wok station with four woks, a griddle, two Combi ovens, a deep fryer and a stock pot station.
The all-electric kitchen supports SASF's community events, including cooking classes and energy workshops - helping residents learn about sustainable, efficient cooking methods. The all-electric kitchen expands access to healthy, efficient cooking and will reduce indoor air pollution associated with gas appliances.
This initiative will also lower long-term operating and maintenance costs for the SASF facilities - demonstrating SMUD's commitment to making tangible investments in the community that provide long-term benefits and savings.
