he key things that catering operators and chefs are looking for in their kitchen
equipment are performance, flexibility, and optimization of space and resources. Te Baron Talent Plus Multi-Function delivers on all fronts. Te Talent Plus Multi-Function is available in three sizes, from the 80x70cm Slim model up to the 80x90cm Production model. Each offers seven different cooking options at the touch of its high-tech buttons. Te three different Talent Plus
models – classic, production and slim – have been designed and built with the chef in mind. Indeed, leading chef Gianluca Scolastra was consulted by Baron to fully understand their needs. “Te expectations are for high- quality food using advanced technology because the clientele are so informed. Tis means the equipment must be of the highest standard to achieve quality results. Te Talent Plus certainly delivers and meets these modern challenges,” says Scolastra, who

points to Talent Plus' combination of technology and multi-purpose cooking capabilities. Tere’s the popular fry top, which is practical and quick thanks to its non-stick hob in duplex steel, five resistors in cast aluminum, and high temperatures with the help of a penetration probe to achieve maximum precision.
New solutions “One of the new solutions and possibilities with the fry top function is it’s possible to control two areas at different temperatures for different dishes and to heat the required area according to product quantity,” explains Baron’s R&D manager Adamo Zoccolan. Chefs can use the Talent’s braising pan for red meat and game, which is slow cooked in a small amount of liquid. With a penetration probe and timer, it can produce high- quality braised meats and shanks. Te Talent also has three pasta
baskets, meaning chefs can cook three different types of pasta at
the same time, optimizing time and costs. In automatic mode, the Talent can bring its water tank capacity to a boil in just eight minutes. Te tank capacities are 17 liters for the Classic and Slim models and 36 liters for the Production model. Tere's also a steamer option where three baskets use just three liters of water and a specially designed lid with rounded lines allowing condensation to flow to the sides and not fall over the product. A boiling setting also automatically fills the tank, maintaining the flavor, weight and softness of food. Chefs can deploy bain-marie
cooking for maintaining the temperature of sweet and savory sauces, warm side dishes and broths, and there’s even an option to slow cook food like soups, boiled meat and red meat. Talent Plus has a new STEP Mode function. “Tis does everything from the basic settings of a bratt pan to allowing chefs/operators to insert and save their own recipes – as well as pre-heating
