Chefs and experienced restaurant owners who swear by Cookon do so because Cookon’s Australian made, hardy and long-lasting commercial kitchen equipment can be relied on for years of trouble-free service. Our industry-leading Three Year Parts and Service Warranty is our promise of our legendary performance.
With hundreds of covers to get through every day, in every venue, they need commercial kitchen appliances that go the distance and won’t let them down. They’ve said “it has to be Cookon” for homegrown hardiness and service you can count on. Cookon has always been focused on simple, practical innovations that help hospitality businesses reduce hassle and function reliably.
"The indestructible Australian"
Since 1971, Cookon has never given up on building quality commercial catering equipment. Throughout the terrible challenges of 2020-21, Cookon again came to the fore for rapid delivery and service as the nation turned back to Australian Made, and for their almost indestructible products.
When you put a Cookon machine in your commercial kitchen it’s a “set and forget” proposition. From our famous “ripple pan” deep fryers, to our high performance gas grills, convection ovens, “plug and play” electric pizza ovens and Kaybee Oil Filters, Cookon proudly manufactures a range of industrial staple, sturdy products that are always in demand for their simple design, great performance and ease of service.
Char grilling to perfection
The CRG High Performance commercial charcoal grill is one of Cookon’s flagship products. It’s the #1 choice for many of Australia’s leading steakhouses.
Queensland’s Moo Moo and the famous Breakfast Creek Hotel along with Melbourne’s Meatmaiden restaurant all rely on the Cookon CRG Grill to cook their superior cuts to perfection.
Any pub, club, hotel bar or cafe that takes pride in the quality of its char-grilled food can rely on this powerful, reliable commercial grill. The CRG puts the power of fire into a gas grill. From 600 to 1800 wide, there’s a Cookon CRG Char Grill for kitchens of all shapes and sizes. Support 100% Australian owned quality commercial kitchen equipment!
Reliable performance and energy efficiency
Ours are the “go to” commercial deep fryers for the busiest fish and chipperies and restaurants.
Cookon’s single and twin venturi high performance burners give maximum commercial fryer performance without wasting gas. Our renowned “ripple pan” base also gives the user greater recovery times and gets more heat per gas consumption by doubling the area of heated metal in contact with the oil.
Lower flue temperatures combined with Cookon’s overall energy efficiency means the higher your volume of covers, the higher the savings over the year; in the thousands of $$.
A solid, Australian-made build means equipment lasts decades; not years, delivering far lower cost of ownership per year for serious hospitality concerns.
Real, “true blue” convection ovens
Don’t be fooled by ‘fan forced’ when you can count on a true convection oven. Our ‘true blue’ commercial convection ovens are the real deal.
100% Australian made and owned, our high performance convection oven range features:
- Maximum cooking space on a small footprint.
- Wider, deeper, higher – larger internal capacity with bottom-mounted controls.
- Quality stainless steel lined, built to last.
- A convenient drop down door for easy oven access.
- Heavy duty racks with multiple positions for maximum loading.
Cookon ovens also demonstrate a considerable $$$ saving on ALL other comparable brands.
“Plug and play” pizza
You can add delicious, crusty Italian pizza to your menu with nothing but some countertop space and a plug! The Cookon electric pizza oven runs powerfully on single phase 20 amp power (no external hood extraction required), will produce 6 x 10” pizza’s every 6-8 minutes (or 4 large pizza’s) can be placed on a bench (no expensive installation costs) and you can be up and running in a matter of hours.
If your pizza business goes well and you need to add capacity, just stack another Cookon pizza oven on top! In the image at left you will see this configuration working brilliantly at Fonzie Abbott; a beloved Brisbane brewery and restaurant that pivoted to pizza during COVID-19.
Kaybee – best & safest oil filtration system
One of our customers conducted a Business Case to adopt KayBee commercial oil filter machine as an oil filter system across several busy kitchens. They documented their incumbent process for deep fryer oil filtration and purchased 1 KayBee oil filter to run a comparative test. The result? Adoption of KayBee was a “no brainer” on several fronts: Cost savings ($18K per year over 10 sites), vastly increased efficiencies and safety, and increased food and oil quality. Take your kitchen operations to the next level with the Cookon KayBee Oil Filtering System!
- Improved oil quality
- Improved food quality
- Reduced oil usage
- Much safer for staff to use
- Decreased cleaning time, significantly.

“We were looking at another top-of-market brand but the unique ripple design of the Cookon commercial fryer pan bases halves our gas bill, because it doubles the amount of heated steel touching the oil. It was a no-brainer business decision for us to buy 6 more.”
