Rapid Cook with Convotherm, Rapid Chill with CONVOChill


August 2012                                                            

Convotherm has been producing top of the range combi-ovens for a number of years. With the range including a variety of sizes and designed there is something to suit any commercial kitchen. As a new addition to the range, Convotherm has developed Cook&Chill that can be used in conjunction with the existing range.  The development utilises CONVOChill, a range of rapid coolers and shock freezers designed to quickly and efficiently chill pre-cooked produce for storage. 

By giving caterers the option to prepare dishes during the quieter periods, the pre-cooked food can be rapidly chilled to prevent the loss of texture and flavour, maintaining the dish at its best for service at a later time. The CONVOChill ensures that during busier times the capacity of the kitchen is not over stretched and leaves staff able to simply regenerate the meals in the Convotherm when needed. 

Simon Frost, Regional Sales Director at Manitowoc explains how the caterers can benefit from the new addition to the range: 

“The rapid cooling undertaken by the CONVOChill allows food temperatures to decrease remarkably quickly, going from roughly +90oC to +3oC in a very short period. This results in the food retaining its freshness, succulence and texture even when stored for several months. Although using fresh produce is preferred by many, the Cook&Chill method perfectly suits fine dining establishments, as well as it does those producing meals in a mass production setting. Vegetables for example can be produced to exacting standards in a Convotherm, boiled, steamed, fried, baked or roasted, before being rapidly chilled. When ready to be served a simple flash fry or bake in the Combi-Oven and they are back to their best.” 

Allowing chefs to prepare meals in advance using the combi-oven, and stored using the rapid cooler beneath, enables caterers to make the most cost-effective use of staff and equipment, resulting in greater levels of efficiency and increased profit margins. The CONVOChill appliances are also gastronom compatible making them ideal for restaurants and catering establishments providing banquets and large events.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
