support the machines that you
have with a combi oven. And it
enables any operators to serve a
full hot food menu in spaces that
were never intended or designed
for foodservice.”
Th e supplier has recently
introduced a 13A version of its
Sota range, said to be lighter
weight and only requiring a
standard plug socket. Th is should
allow the ovens to be used in most
locations, even those which are
power limited.
Smith feels that dealers should
consider how quickly food needs
to be served at a site during peak
trading times, and the skills
of the end user. “Touchscreen
controls make training simple
and reduce skill levels required
to operate the unit,” he said. “On
average, high speed ovens use a
third of the energy of a traditional
convection oven, which therefore
reduces overall cost of ownership
too. Plus the units have minimal
footprint requirements.”
He forecasted: “As the need
for increasing product off ering
in the same retail space grows,
rapid cook ovens have to provide
the operator a fl exible rapid cook
system that will replace multiple
traditional cooking appliances.
“In addition to this, connectivity
is a key component. A TurboChef
has the ability to not only send
information to the oven such as
menu and software updates, but
to retrieve vital information back
from the unit to understand how
the oven is performing.
technology which makes the
ovens very effi cient yet still
enables them to heat up food
very quickly whilst actually
consuming less energy than
standard microwave technology.”
Atollspeed models are said
to be easy to use, with a colour
settings screed designed to
be intuitive. A USB port also
allows the user to upload
recipe programmes to other
Atollspeed ovens which means
that the operator can offer the
customer consistent menu
items using multiple units or in
multiple sites.
Richards said: “Th ere is a
signifi cant diff erence in energy
consumption between the various
high speed ovens on the market.Use of energy effi cient technology
such as the Atollspeed patented
unshielded microwave, gives
unrivalled performance whilst
maintaining high quality and fast
cooking results. Choosing the
wrong oven could cost the user a
fortune in electricity.”
He also suggested dealers
should take account of the
cleanability of accelerated cookers,
the quality of food on off er and the
space available, when specifying
these appliances.
Th ree size options are already
available, but Atollspeed will be
launching what are designed to
be more compact, more powerful
H-series high speed ovens on the
Metcalfe stand at the Hotelympia
trade show in March.“One facet of this is that the
TurboChef ovens have the ability to
communicate directly to a service
provider and alert them of a fault in
the machine prior to the operating
having visibility. Th is leads to
increased uptime of the unit and
therefore serving more customers,
equalling greater profi tability.”
As the UK supplier of
Atollspeed high speed ovens,
Metcalfe Catering Equipment
knows all about the technology’s
multifunctional capabilities,
reducing the need for several
appliances. MD Neil Richards
added: “Th e Atollspeed ovens
combine impingement and
microwave technology in order to
heat and crisp menu items up to
10 times faster than conventional
cooking methods.
“Th e user also has the ability
to accurately reduce or increase
either the impinged hot air or
the microwave function as well
as storing hundreds of recipe
programmes, all of which give the
operator the precise control needed
to perfectly cook, crisp and serve
a wide variety of menu items in
record time.”
Richards believes that the
brand’s ovens feature a lot of
technology packed into a small
box. “New technology is continually
being developed and high-quality
components are used by Atollspeed
in order to continually improve the
performance, effi ciency and size of
its high-speed ovens.
“A good example is the use of
patented, unshielded microwave“There is a signifi cant diff erence in
