MARENO ICITC98TE
The Mareno ICITC98TE induction solid top
features a sealed 6mm thick glass ceramic hob
and a pan detection system which activates
heating upon the presence of a cooking
receptacle or pan. The appliance is constructed in
AISI 304 stainless steel and comes equipped with
four independent cooking zones, each with a 7kW
output. The large cooking areas are marked with
silkscreened signs on the glass-ceramic surface
and are controlled by means of the unique Mareno
iChef system which indicates both activation of
heating and correct appliance operation. The
unit has multi-zone capability and can be used
with either single, large pans or multiple small
pans. The ICITC98TE is 800mm wide and has
eight zones, giving the user complete flexibility of
operation for both prep work, where mainly large
pans are used for
volume production,
or during service,
where smaller
service and saute
pans are used
for individual
portion cooking.CHARVET INDUCTION
MULTIZONE
Charvet has combined four powerful, independent
3.5 kW induction hobs under a one-piece glass
top to create an energy efficient multipurpose
‘multizone’ induction unit. Hobs can be operated
alone or ‘sequentially regulated’ to effectively
re-create the flexible cooking power of a
conventional gas or electric solid-top. Charvet
Multizone is ideal for all types of restaurants and
hotels, just like its predecessor, the gas or electric
solid top. Multizone is labour saving because the
unit is easier to keep clean and requires much less
maintenance from engineers. Furthermore, the
ventilation load is significantly reduced compared
to conventional gas or electric ranges, creating
infrastructure
cost savings. Pan-
detectors sense when
pans are placed on
top, making the unit
ideal for using a mix
of various-sized pans
for service, as well as
saving energy.CONTROL INDUCTION
THE SLIDER
The Slider was designed with sustainability in
mind — significant power is only consumed
when and where a pan is placed on the hob.
Manufactured in the UK from European
components and materials, the unit is 90%
efficient in converting electrical power into
usable heat in the pan. The Slider has one large
permanently activated induction zone ready
to heat pans at different powers in different
areas. This means that the savings are massive
compared to multiple gas or electric rings at
different settings. As its name suggests, operators
simply slide the pan over the glass to turn up the
heat. Control
Induction claims
that gas and
conventional
electric heating
will normally
consume
double the
energy of
The Slider.
Additionally,
more than 90%
of the product
is recyclable.RIEBER VARITHEK
Rieber’s induction hob and wok cooking modules
come in a modular GN format and provide
operators with slot-in cooking units for versatile
cooking. They can be combined with a self-
ventilating mobile front cooking station or used
static as part of a foodservice counter, or modular
temporary pop-up kitchen such as the Rieber
Catering Circle. Offering up to 5 kW cooking
power, the German-engineered system allows
chefs to cook in public spaces or areas previously
thought unsuitable for cooking, such as a corner
with a low ceiling or public atrium. Rieber insists
the units are idea for numerous customer-facing
scenarios, including contract catering, stadia
catering, mobile
‘pop-up’ kitchens
and even hospital
catering. Varithek
ACS with self-
ventilation is
also ideal in a
refurbishment
situation as units
can function
without ventilation,
making them ideal
for temporary
catering facilities.38 | Foodservice Equipment Journal | August 2019 http://www.foodserviceequipmentjournal.com
