I
would just like to put on record our sincere thanks to the companies and individuals who regularly
give their valued support to Fast Food Professional magazine, especially in these troubled times. We really do appreciate the input you make to helping us to maintain the high quality of the publication. The foodservice sectors having come through the unparalleled crises of the last two years are now faced with a further set of challenges not experienced in most of our lifetimes and these have been caused or worsened by the diabolical war waged by Russia against Ukraine, the timing obviously chosen as they mistakenly thought Ukraine and the civilised world would be easy pushovers. In domestic and foodservice life we face continued increases labour, energy and fertiliser costs, which in turn escalate the costs of growing, harvesting, processing and delivery of all goods including the basics such as grains, fats and oils. We need to help to get the war to end so that the Ukraine region, the World’s Bread Basket can get back to doing what it does best to feed us all. There are many examples throughout other countries where a long term lowering of sales tax for the hospitality sector, which includes our Fish & Chip, QSR, Takeaway and Casual Dining businesses, and this has resulted long-term growth maintain and adding jobs to the economy. Andrew Crook, Chairman of the NFFF is championing this call within the Government and needs all of our support in the campaign. You can read all about his efforts on the Fish and Chip Industry Discussion Group Facebook page. In the meantime, all we can do is concentrate on serving the best value-for-money foods that we can and be efficient in what we do to make sure that we are still there trading when the good times roll back in.

Norwegian Seafood Council Launches Campaign to Deliver Sustainability Message
T
he Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC) is rolling out an educational programme to help fish and chip shop operators to have more knowledge and information about sustainable fish, and to support them in communicating
this to their customers. Kick-starting the campaign, ‘Fish & Tips: A guide to sustainable frying and business’, is a three-part video series designed to communicate the importance of sustainable fish and business operations, and to provide friers with all the tools they need to communicate to their customers the great value they are getting in every portion. As well as exploring fish origin and produce sourcing, the videos cover topics such a soil management, sustainable staffing and customer communication/marketing. The videos have been created following a recent survey of fish and chip shop operators – carried out by the NSC in partnership with the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF)– which revealed that 88% off is hand chip shop owners find the issue of sustainably sourced fish especially important, but the majority struggle to communicate this to their customers 1.

fish they are consuming comes from sustainably managed and regulated resources. Each of the three videos covers a different topic highlighting the importance of fish and chip shop sustainability, including: The business case for sustainability The importance of sustainable produce and operations How to communicate the sustainability message to customers The videos show case best practice from fish and chip shop operators, to inspire viewers to make any necessary changes. They provide the steps operators can take to improve their sustainability credentials, and to start effectively communicating this to customers. This can ultimately create loyalty, add value to business and, in turn, drive sales. Owner of The Cod’s Scallops, John Molnar, who features in the videos, says: “This is all about transparency at sea, and for my business, this is an asset. For the Norwegians, their production is 100% above board. I’ve seen it, and I can tell you how this fish is caught and how it is processed: all caught, processed and frozen within six hours. This is renewable protein that I continue to feed my customers, and they want to know where it’s from. They are savvy, and we made them a promise years ago that we could even tell them which vessel caught it.” “Consumers should be aware that by purchasing from a sustainable shop, they are contributing to the future of our oceans and its fish stocks,” adds Hans Frode Kielland Asmyhr, UK Director, Norwegian Seafood Council. “We’re very proud of the Fish & Tips initiative. We hope it will support operators throughout the industry to consider the origin of their ingredients, while also giving their customers insight about what goes into a typical fish and chip meal.” Norway is home to the world’s largest cod stock, and 9

Hutton. Located in Idle, Bradford in West Yorkshire, you’ll find Hollie working as part of a team at the award-winning fish and chip shop, Towngate Fisheries. Four years ago, Hollie started a part time job at Towngate Fisheries aged 16, while studying A-levels at school. In the summer of 2020, Hollie was due to take her A-level exams but the Covid pandemic unfortunately had other plans. Hollie couldn’t complete her exams and was awarded grades by teacher assessment. At this point, Hollie decided not to go to university and kept working at the fish and chip shop. Mark Drummond, the owner of Towngate Fisheries, saw her potential, so encouraged Hollie to take the next step in her career and pointed her towards the opportunities available with a Level 3 apprenticeship.

The Class of ’88 By the late 1980’s the British public’s food tastes had become cosmopolitan with considerable growth in Indian and Chinese takeaway’s and gourmet food ranges in supermarkets. Nevertheless Fish and Chips still remained the Nation’s favourite takeaway with the Class of ‘88 numbering around 15,000 shops. They were attracting a more diverse range of customers who were paying around £1.60 - £2.00 for medium cod and chips. Greaseproof paper was introduced and newspaper for wrapping phased out on hygiene grounds. A BSE outbreak also resulted in many shops switching from animal fats to vegetable oils for frying. By 1988, Frymax was still the number one brand. It was exactly the same product as on launch with no additions or modifications and remained pure white palm which is additive free, contains no hydrogenated oil and less than 1% trans fats. Frymax guaranteed consistently good results and long lasting performance without deterioration in quality and had become firmly established as the Fryers Favourite.

New Belgian Potato Concepts Campaign Launches in UK A new two-year substantial marketing campaign to promote Belgian processed potatoes is launching for the UK retail and foodservice sectors
T
he ‘Flourish and Grow’ Campaign will highlight the growth of the potato category and the opportunity for retail and foodservice to build their business with a good quality and innovative frozen, chilled and
fresh potato category offer. Belgium is the world’s No.1 exporter of pre-cooked potato products, with 90% of its production exported to over 100 countries. The campaign funded by Flanders’ Agricultural Marketing Board, also known as VLAM, will focus on the quality, innovation and sustainability credentials of EU produce grown, processed and packed in Belgium. Increasing demand With a population of 67m, Britons consume the most frozen potatoes in Europe eating around 1.1m tonnes and relies on imports to meet demand. Importing around 760k tonnes every year – and the market is expected to continue an upwards trend over the next decade – and Belgium is a long-standing preferred potato partner. Renowned for the quality of its produce and close proximity to the UK, Belgian producers enable retailers and caterers in the UK to meet the ever-growing demand for processed potatoes, especially the traditional Belgian ‘fries’, or chips as the British know them. “Belgian processed potato products are a strong and proven solution for retailers and caterers, with excellent quality in-home and out-of-home options to meet consumer trends, said Katrien De Nul, Promotion Manager, VLAM. “Our rich, fertile soil, mild climate and long-held potato growing traditions ensure Belgian potatoes are the perfect, raw ingredient for innovative, potato concepts.” The ‘Flourish and Grow’ Campaign will also highlight the significant investment made by growers and processors in production methods to tackle packaging and plastic, reduce carbon footprint and water usage, to ensure retailers can be confident of sustainable products with full traceability. “All our growers and processors are committed to working in partnership on both sides of the Channel to ensure we can meet consumer demand with quality and innovative products, with strong sustainable credentials, added Katrien De Nul, Promotion Manager, VLAM.

Cracking down on oil costs CuisinEquip expands range with high capacity LightFry
H
aving initially launched LightFry, the innovative commercial air fryer in the UK at the Casual Dining Show 2021, CuisinEquip has responded to soaring customer demand, by introducing the more powerful, High Capacity LightFry to its portfolio.
Due to a combination of continually increasing oil costs and
a drive for healthier, more sustainable menus, many caterers are now looking for suitable alternatives to traditional deep-fat frying. Using innovative technology and a combination of steam, hot air and rotation, LightFry cooks food with the same great taste, texture and consistency of an oil-based fryer. This has the potential to achieve a healthier menu which is also better for the environment and eliminates the need to purchase cooking oil. The new LightFry High Capacity (HC) offers a greater output of 32kg/hour (up from 22kg/hour in the standard unit) and can produce 600g of French fries in just 3:00 – 4:00 minutes. A capacity of 200g – 2.5kg makes the unit ideal for high footfall sites and those looking to cook multiple menu items in a short space of time. Using a more powerful fan, the HC unit achieves the same great consistency to deliver an increased output and quicker cook times. In addition to the ongoing cost and health benefits, LightFry technology also offers significant time savings. Using a closed oven design, the unit can preserve the cooking temperature, reducing wasted energy and eliminating recovery times. Labour savings are generated after use too, thanks to an integrated automatic wash system. The cleaning cycle can be initiated after a busy shift and left to run overnight. “Since launching the LightFry Air Fryer in 2021, we’ve seen significant demand from operators who were either not able to have a traditional fryer due to a lack of extraction and ventilation, or those looking for an alternative to oil-frying due to increasing costs. The introduction of the LightFry HC will open up the innovative technology to bigger, busier sites that require greater output and those looking for cook times that are between 15-20% faster than the standard model.” Steve Elliott, Sales Director at CuisinEquip Developed by Eatgood in Sweden, LightFry is taking the commercial world by storm. Offering significantly lower operating costs, ongoing labour efficiencies and up to 50% lower energy consumption than conventional equipment. The technology also delivers a better working environment, less emissions and greater safety for operators.

Jestic provide chefs with holding power with the launch of Mibrasa Hot ®
Designed to be the ‘most comprehensive charcoal oven’, the brand new Mibrasa® Hot takes streamlined cooking to the next level
T
hanks to the addition of three, space saving and gastronorm pan compatible holding drawers, in which chefs can confit, slowcook, regenerate or rest. Using residual heat from the oven itself, the drawers
maintain a consistent temperature of between 55ºc and 90ºc as Michael Eyre, Culinary Director for Jestic Foodservice, explains: “The Mibrasa® Hot is not only game-changing for a chef that wishes to charcoal cook and hold foods in a single unit, but also for chefs that wish to slow-cook, regenerate, confit, rest and even dehydrate foods. This is because each of the three Mibrasa Hot holding drawers have a temperature range between 55ºc and 90ºc to give total flexibility. All the drawers can accommodate either full, half or one third gastronorm pans depending on the needs of the chef.” Thanks to this units’ sleek linear design and pure charcoal power, the Mibrasa® Hot has a place in virtually any ventilated commercial kitchen - no matter the space or utilities available. What’s more, as Mibrasa® ovens are powered by natural heat, operators will not be hit by the rising gas and electricity costs that are affecting many other pieces of equipment. The Mibrasa® Hot comes in three models; the standard HMB Hot with holding drawers, the HMB Hot SB that has the addition of a heating rack and the HMB Hot AC which features a top heated cupboard. Each model within the Mibrasa® Hot range is available in five colours; red, stainless steel, black, yellow and blue, (drawers and doors) making this model as aesthethically pleasing, as it is practical.

compact, combined with a customer’s expectation of food waiting times being shorter than ever, choosing the right
equipment is crucial. Now, thanks to the latest offering Unox has launched a new ‘bake-off’ solution. Combining everything an operator needs to prove, cook and bake in one convenient stacked unit, the new bake-off solution features a BAKERTOP MIND.Mapsä combi oven, a DECKTOP MIND.Mapsä deck oven, a BAKERTOP MIND. Mapsä Prover and an integrated extraction hood. Ideal for sites producing a range of bake-off products including pastries, breads, pizzas and cakes, the solution also offers the versatility needed to produce a host of other dishes found on a traditional menu. Remarkably space efficient, the stacked solution gives operators three unique appliances, controlled independently through one single digital user-interface. With a footprint of just 750mm x 783mm (w/d), the bakeoff solution is ideal for compact kitchens with a high turnover and peak trading periods. The Unox BAKERTOP MIND.Mapsä is an intelligent combi oven that is capable of grilling, frying, roasting, browning, smoking, cooking with steam and much more. Featuring fully automatic cooking programmes, the oven can deliver exacting consistency, while the robust design and innovative technology can withstand the requirements of even the most demanding chefs and kitchen environments. Designed for bakery use, flow fans create a uniform temperature, while a unique chamber design ensures compatibility with larger 600mm x 400mm trays, optimising versatility, speed and guaranteeing the perfect cooking results. Complementing the combi oven, the Unox DECKTOP MIND.Mapsä static deck oven offers the perfect balance of technology and tradition. Helping a chef to deliver wonderful artisan dishes, the unit opens up a world of 42

possibilities in baking, delivering outstanding results on breads, leavened desserts, pizza and focaccias. A quality stone base delivers rapid heat transfer, reducing baking time, while the integrated boiler generates steam to achieve the perfect crust. The final appliance in Unox’s new bake-off solution is the BAKERTOP Mind.Mapsä Prover. Precisely balancing temperature, humidity and time, the prover achieves the optimal conditions needed to create the perfect dough – every time. State-of-the-art sensors monitor internal conditions, while the design, without an internal fan, helps to create a natural environment, preventing any drying of the delicate surface of the dough.
Shaking Up The Shake Market With Carpigiani’s 161K
An integrated ventless extraction hood, complete with self-cleaning filter allows the stacked units to be placed anywhere on site, removing unwanted odours and humidity without the need for dedicated ventilation. Controlled using one MIND.Mapsä PLUS interface, all three units can be quickly and easily programmed to deliver fully-automated cooking and baking. Up to 384 individual programmes can be stored on the controller to deliver effortless, consistent and intelligent cooking. “The new Unox bake-off solution optimises kitchen space while delivering versatility and flexibility for a business. With a BAKERTOP MIND.Mapsä combi oven, operators can produce a wide range of bakery items as well as traditional menu dishes. The integrated deck oven and prover are ideal for dough-based items such as breads and pizzas. Stacked for greater space efficiency, the new solution is easy to operate, thanks to one simple, intuitive touch-screen panel which controls all three units, and the addition of a ventless extraction hood, meaning the equipment can be placed virtually anywhere. This solution from Unox is designed to help our customers achieve even better cooking and better business.”

With the ability to store products and packaging at different heights to suit individual stations it has made it really easy for us to prepare orders even during the busiest periods. SmartLever is an absolutely fantastic way of maximising the space in our kitchen, as we can easily move the shelves and baskets to respond to the needs of our business when new products come on board”. Having a single integrated system for workstations and storage was also a big plus for Nisar: “I’ve had other fast food businesses with different storage equipment in from different suppliers and it was always like Lego in as much as we were trying to make different bits fit together. However, with the Metro SmartLever system we’ve got all the pieces from one place and it helps us to bring order to the chaos.” Nisar also reflected on how quick and easy SmartLever is to set up: “The Metro SmartLever system is just so easy to install. It arrived flat packed and in a few hours the kitchen was ready. If I can do it, any one can do it! Jestic works closely with dealers and businesses like AA Food Concepts to ensure they have the best equipment solutions for their business and the knowledge that they brought to the table was something that Nisar fully appreciated: “The support that we have had from Jestic, from initially placing the order through to the equipment arriving was seamless and smooth. Since then we’ve also had fantastic after sales support. I would highly recommend the Metro SmartLever system from Jestic to other operators.”

Emphasising the brand’s key USPs including ‘1 of your 5 a day’ and ‘no added sugar or sweeteners,’ the new eye-catching design has made it easier than ever for operators to identify CRAFTED®’s strong health credentials as Christopher Banks, Chairman of CRAFTED® Drinks, explains: “When reworking our packaging, our main goal was to convey the zesty, sharp and refreshing flavour of our Still, Cloudy Lemonade whilst still communicating the core credentials of the CRAFTED® brand. The bright yellow design combined with the black typeface mirrors the bold and beautiful flavour of our Sicilian lemons whilst highlighting our vegan ingredients specially selected for every one of our craft juices. It goes without saying that sustainability was also at the forefront of the design process. As such, our Still, Cloudy Lemonade is now packed in TetraPak cartons ‘the pack that grows back’ - which are made from up to 75% renewable materials and are fully recyclable.
