A Message from Sharp
“Sharp has been trusted in professional kitchens for decades,” said David Servos, Senior Director, Smart Life Business Group, Sharp Electronics of Canada. “Our commercial microwave offering is built for the real-world pace of foodservice, where reliability, speed, and consistency matter every single day. Operators rely on our products not only for cooking power, but for thoughtful engineering that makes kitchen workflow smarter and safer.
“Our TwinTouch™ technology highlights that commitment: dual control panels provide easy access whether units are stacked or placed at various heights, reducing reach-over risks and streamlining operations. This is about giving teams more control, more speed, and more comfort in the busiest environments.
“We’re also excited to partner with The Riccio Group. Their expertise and nationwide network will ensure that dealers, consultants, and operators have access to our products and support whenever and wherever they need it.”

With up to 100 programmable menus, 4-stage cooking, and 11 power levels, they are built to deliver precision, consistency, and speed.
For lower-volume or smaller kitchens, the R-21LCFS and R-21LVF models provide dependable performance with stainless-steel interiors and exteriors, auto-cancel timers, and programmable settings for fast, repeatable results.
