REXMARTINS RDE-FG-8A
INDUCTION GRIDDLE
The RDE-FG-8A is one of no fewer than 15 models
of induction griddle offered by Rexmartins. This
particular unit measures 800mm wide x 700mm
deep and is rated at 8kW. It is a countertop model
and has a smooth cooking surface, although
floor-standing and part-ribbed variants are also
available. The induction coil induces heat directly
into the griddle plate, avoiding heat losses into
the atmosphere. The cooking temperature is
inverter-controlled so power is drawn only at the
level needed to sustain the set temperature. This
also contributes to reduced energy consumption.
In trials at a national account, a Rexmartins
induction griddle was found to consume 55%
less energy than the conventional electric griddle
previously used. The combination of induction
technology and
inverter control also
means the griddle
heats up quickly
and maintains
temperature
accurately.LIVECOOKINTABLE
COOKING FURNITURE
German brand livecookintable has developed
modular and portable cooking furniture, in line
with the rising trend for front-of-house live
cooking using induction technology. It gives chefs
and caterers a customised and integral set-up for
their events, buffet area, tastings or fairs with low
energy requirements and the flexibility of moving
the cooking furniture within the same venue. The
unique livecookintable system allows for cooking
components and working areas to be slotted into
the table frames freely and flexibly whether it is
for boiling, cooling, grilling, warming or cooking
with a wok. An induction hob with two cooking
zones for 1/2 GN and 1/1 GN pans can be inserted
to cook food in front of customers. When cooking
indoors, the
livecookintable
system’s
own airwall
provides
extraction
from the
cooking
devices for
a smoke and
grease-free
environment.VOLLRATH MIRAGE
1/1 GN INDUCTION
BUFFET WARMER
FEM’s Vollrath Mirage induction buffet warmer
offers a solution for caterers looking for safe
ways to keep food warm throughout service.
The Mirage induction warmer offers four
power levels: low, medium, high and chafer
pre-heat. Measuring 584mm wide x 406mm
long and running off a single 13 amp plug, up
to three units can be connected together to
provide a bank of buffet warmers. The Mirage
buffet warmers have additional safety features
including over-heat protection, small-article
detection, pan auto-detection and empty-pan
shut-off. They look good and are hardwearing,
too. The tempered black ceramic glass top is
strong, non-porous and easy-to-clean. LED
indicator lights on
the control panel
and glass top allow
operators to see
which power mode
is selected. A handy
storage compartment
under each warmer
conveniently holds the
cords when not in use.GARLAND INSTINCT GRIDDLE
The Garland Instinct Griddle provides an
exceptionally functional non-stick frying surface
that can be put under continued use throughout
the day in high-output foodservice operations.
The product features a comprehensive control
and monitoring system for induction in the shape
of RTCSmp Real-Time Temperature Control
System multi-point technology (RTCSmp). This
enables fast heat-up times — from 20°C to 200°C
in as little as three-and-a-half minutes — as well
as safe cooking and accurate temperature control,
with the modules monitoring the temperature of
the induction coils and energy supply. In addition,
precise temperatures can be made within 1°C
to ensure any deviations are corrected with no
delay. The Instinct Griddle
features a new ‘Tip and
Turn’ control system. These
ingeniously simple and
reliable controls respond
to light pressure on the
control knob to activate
the appliance, while the
‘turn’ function sets the
desired temperature level.http://www.foodserviceequipmentjournal.com August 2019 | Foodservice Equipment Journal | 39
