The mobile unit is "a fully-equipped, commercial kitchen on wheels -- for schools, food banks, community gardens, businesses, and entrepreneurs." Doug Goehring, Agriculture Commissioner, said that the mobile kitchen "can be used to process local fruits and vegetables for farm-to-school programs, test recipes for development of new North Dakota products, produce samples for taste testing of new products, teach food safety education and more."
The unit is "equipped with a six-burner convection oven, a fryer, a griddle, a 22-cubic food freezer, a 22 cubic food refrigerator and four stainless steel sinks." The ND agriculture department plans to fully equip the unit "with flash freezing, dehydration and packaging equipment."
