As the international platform for the hospitality industry, HOST 2013 was a show that Mise En Place could not afford to miss, to gain greater insight into the latest trends and ideas in commercial kitchen equipment from around the world. After browsing the vast halls, we present the innovations that bring an edge to both cooking and dining experiences.
PROVENO COMBI KETTLE
A steam kettle is a necessity for bulk cooking. Working on the theory of induction, the kettle’s outer wall contains raw steam to cook the food inside evenly and would involve a staff holding watch over the cooking, which hampers time for other tasks. Thus, the Proveno Combi Kettle, because if the technology of automated cooking is applied in combination ovens, why not a
steam kettle?
Flexible & Accessible
Its control panel offers up to 99 programs that the user can store for easy access with its Customer Specific Function Parameters (CSFP). Using the parameters, the kettle’s functions can be configured to suit individual needs and has self-explanatory icons for each function. Productivity is improved when users can work remotely with the Wireless HACCP option that provides real-time temperature checking which can be monitored anywhere with internet connectivity; or via their mobile phones to access information and receive alarms on any irregularities. Also, users can build their own Proveno by combining the kettle size, power and optional tools.
Competent Results
The auto-reverse mixer does all the stirring and for ideal consistency, professional chefs were engaged to test the intensity level of mixing for each program. True enough, the beef bolognaise sauce we tasted had bite in its meat and even delicate items like onions and carrots were not cooked to a mush. The mixer can be used to mix almost anything ranging from mashed potato, ice cream base to doughs and others.
