Lincat introduces


powerful electric chargrills to Opus 700 range


L


incat has added two powerful, high output electric chargrills to its heavy duty Opus 700 range of prime cooking equipment. The electric 11.2kW and 2 x 8.25kW models are capable of cooking 75 and 110 steaks per hour respectively, imparting an authentic barbecued flavour to food through the controlled ignition of fat and flaring. Food quality is also enhanced by an in-built water bath which provides humidity to help keep food succulent and reduce shrinkage.


Incorporating independently controlled multiple heat zones for maximum versatility, removable, durable, segmented cast iron grids impart attractive branding marks to food.


These new models can either be filled manually or plumbed into the mains water supply to allow the water bath to be filled easily. Safety is enhanced by a high temperature safety cut-out for protection should the water bath run dry. All are supplied as counter-top units but can be mounted on optional floor stands.

Victor’s Banquetline the caterers hot favourite


V


When Size Does Matter R


ictor Manufacturing has cornered the market in hot holding mobile banqueting carts with its flexible Banquetline range available in single and two-door options.


Plated meals can be stacked (with the use of plate covers) or placed individually on the adjustable shelves.


Cabinet temperature is adjustable between 65° and 95°C while optional humidity is provided via the integral water reservoir in the base. Banquetline enables food to be transported smoothly and safely. With 150mm castors, all round bumpers and heavy duty push bars, all units operate from a 13 amp supply powering the fan assisted 1.5kW top mounted heating system.


ational¹s Model 62 SelfCooking Center has been developed to offer increased cooking capacity without requiring extra height. Introducing fully automatic cooking processes into the kitchen removes the guesswork and frees up staff to concentrate on prepping, finishing and planning menus.


The generous 971mm x 1,069mm cooking cavity can hold 6 x 2/1 gastronorm pans while still being the same height as a standard six grid model; turning out 60-160 meals per day - at the touch of a button. As well as producing perfect results, it uses only as much power as is needed to cook the food, saving 60% of energy compared to traditional equipment. The SelfCooking Center reduces shrinkage on meats, produces perfect pastries, proves and bakes bread, fries eggs and even cooks chips. Model 62 is fitted with Rational¹s labour-saving CareControl system which indicates when the cooking cavity needs cleaning; all the operator has to do is insert a couple of special cleaning tablets. It also eliminates limescale problems so the steam generator always operates at optimum efficiency, which saves in running costs.
