Reddit mentions of GRIDMANN 3 Compartment NSF Stainless Steel Commercial Bar Sink

> You have obviously never tried to buy commercial kitchen equipment. Or tried to build a commercial kitchen.

You can buy small used equipment used affordably. Not a single person is requiring you to have expensive, brand new, commercial-grade equipment. What you are required to have is equipment that can be cleaned to health code standards, which in this case does not cost significantly more than equipment you'd use in your own home. In fact, many appliances sold for home use meet NSF certification standards. How about we make a kitchen?

All of these refrigerators qualify. I'll let you splurge and we'll spend $2,000 on a fridge/freezer, which will be perfect for the small batches we're making.

Here, let's spend another $2,000 on a brand new oven

$300 for your sink

$630 for a mixer

$146 for a counter

I'll let you splurge and spend $500 on miscellaneous utensils, all brand new. We'll use another $1,000 to get miscellaneous hardware and do all the installation, because why not?

So let's see, that gives you a commercial-grade kitchen for under $7,000. Provided you're using a room that isn't filled with garbage, vermin, or poison and which has floors and walls that can be easily cleaned, I'm really struggling to see where you get your $50,000 from. Surely you're not suggesting that people should be selling food they made in rat and roach infested kitchens that can't be cleaned?

If $7,000 is too much for you, this equipment can be had much cheaper used. If you go used, you're getting awfully close to the $5,000 amount under which you can sell food without a license. It should not at all be hard to fund a commercial-grade kitchen in a year or two if your products sell well enough to warrant getting one.

>Stop trying to argue about things you don't know anything about.

I suggest you take your own advice. We'd all love to see the source for your $50,000 claim that you seem so intent on sticking with.
