Understanding the Lifespan of Hot Pot and Barbecue Tables and Accessories

Whether you are planning to purchase new hot pot tables or barbecue tables or have already acquired them, you should be aware of the lifespan of these tables. You should also understand the general lifespan of different accessories for hot pot tables and barbecue tables. With minimal maintenance, high-quality hot pot tables and barbecue tables can easily be used for 7-8 years without any damage. However, you might be pleasantly surprised to find that with regular cleaning and maintenance, the hot pot or barbecue tables in your restaurant can even last for 10 years.

By understanding the lifespan of different accessories and how to properly maintain hot pot tables and barbecue tables, you can ensure maximum returns from your investment. Whether you are planning to upgrade your restaurant or start a new one, this guide is suitable for you!

The lifespan of tabletops of hot pot tables and barbecue tables

A common question is, “How long is the lifespan of a hot pot table (barbecue table)?” The lifespan of most hot pot tables or barbecue tables is around 7-8 years, largely dependent on how long the tabletop material can be used. The lifespan of the tabletop represents the overall lifespan of the entire table.

Stone

Stone surfaces are often the preferred choice when customers customize the tabletop for hot pot tables or barbecue tables. Stone materials generally include marble, slate, quartz, and hot stone as four types of tabletop materials. Marble is a natural stone with a certain hardness and low water absorption, making it resistant to water and oil stains. As a result, marble tabletops are less prone to damage, and their lifespan can typically exceed ten years or even several decades. Slate tabletops feature more delicate patterns than marble and have a higher hardness, resulting in a longer lifespan compared to marble. Quartz, the hardest among the four types of stone, has a strong hardness, and high-quality, uniformly dense quartz tabletops are not easily affected by scratches and wear. Therefore, the lifespan of quartz tabletops can also exceed ten years or even longer. Hot stone is a type of stone created through high-temperature smelting, making it highly resistant to high temperatures. It is not easily damaged under conditions that require prolonged high-temperature cooking, such as hot pot and barbecue, contributing to its long lifespan.

Solid Wood

Tabletops made of solid wood typically have a lifespan of several decades. This is because solid wood possesses high density and hardness. Moreover, solid wood can absorb moisture from the air and release moisture from within the wood during use. In environments with humidity fluctuations, the likelihood of deformation or cracking in solid wood tabletops is minimal. With proper treatment and maintenance measures such as painting, the lifespan of the table can be further extended.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant metal alloy with excellent oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. Therefore, the tabletop made of stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant. There is no need to worry about oil and water stains penetrating into the interior of the table, nor is there concern about corrosion of the tabletop by oil and water stains. Additionally, stainless steel tabletops are easy to clean, and regular cleaning and maintenance can effectively extend the lifespan of the stainless steel tabletop to several decades.

The lifespan of induction cookers and electric stoves

The induction cooker is an electrical appliance that utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction for heating. It employs the technology of heating through electromagnetic field induction, creating eddy currents in the bottom of the pot by the magnetic field generated by the current in the conductor, thereby achieving the heating of the pot for cooking. Typically, an induction cooker can be used for over 5 years. Following correct operating procedures and safety guidelines, and avoiding overloading, can slow down the aging process of the induction cooker, thus extending its lifespan.

The heating principle of the electric ceramic cooker is mainly based on resistance heating, so it can be used with a variety of cookware. High-quality electric ceramic stoves use materials that are resistant to high temperatures and wear, allowing them to operate for extended periods. Therefore, the typical lifespan of an electric ceramic stove can exceed five years. Regularly cleaning the surface and interior of the electric ceramic stove, preventing the deposition of dust and grease, can contribute to maintaining its lifespan.

The lifespan of hot pot pots and barbecue stoves

The typical hot pot and barbecue stove appliances are usually made from 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel possesses strong corrosion resistance and can withstand high temperatures without easily getting damaged. As a result, general hot pot and barbecue stove appliances have a relatively long lifespan, often reaching 8 years or even longer.

The lifespan of a purifier

Purifier is currently a common method of smoke purification used in many hot pot and barbecue restaurants. Using a purifier can effectively absorb the smoke and odors generated during hot pot and barbecue cooking, purifying the smoke into regular air before releasing it. This eliminates the need for restaurants to incur high costs in installing smoke exhaust systems and mitigates safety hazards associated with such systems. Regarding the internal components of the purifier, the filter cotton needs to be replaced based on usage, typically requiring replacement every three months to a year. Activated carbon, on the other hand, can be replaced annually. With regular replacement of these filters and activated carbon, the overall lifespan of an air purifier can generally extend up to 8 years.

Conclusion

By understanding the different tabletop materials and the lifespan of accessories used in hot pot and barbecue tables, along with proper maintenance and care, these tables are generally very durable. This reduces the need for frequent replacement of restaurant furniture, ensuring that you can maximize returns on your investment.
