    On-Site Kitchen Rentals Ltd supplied sleek, stainless steel kitchen appliances including double refrigerators, freezers, bakery mixers, bakery prep trolleys, fabrication, convection ovens and custom made stainless counters for the TV series contestant stations that all not only functioned impeccably but also looked visually appealing for on-camera scenes.
