Tucs Equipment is known as the leader i n c o o k i n g v e s s e l t e c h n o l o g y a n d today, that tradition continues with the addition of 50-, 100- and 200-gallon self-contained, gas-fired kettles. These new kettles are available in either stationary or tilting configurations

High-pressure 75 psi steam allows o p e r a t o r s t o c a r a m e l i z e a n d c o o k recipes that typical 50 psi kettles can’t touch

The integrated, space-saving control panel gives operators control of agitator speed, direction and management of kettle temperature. The control panel is mounted on the left or right side of t h e k e t t l e , d e p e n d i n g o n w o r k f l o w requirements Need help? The control panel can provide remote factory diagnostics

The trough shape allows for an ergonomically efficient low profile for loading and cleaning, thereby minimizi n g o p e r a t o r p l a t f o r m s a n d p i t s A n optional slide-out platform step for the 100-gallon kettle makes operating the kettle more convenient The slide-out

step is standard on the 200-gallon kettle The narrow depth of our kettles allows installation under existing ventilation hoods.

The horizontal “paddlewheel” style agitator provides superior mixing and uniform suspension of particulate without damage to even the most delicate items The agitator and scraper blades are easily removable without tools

These new self-contained Tucs kettles can easily be connected to a volumetric pump for use in a Cook-Chill workflow.

In a Cook-Chill workflow, the kettles can connect to a Tucs volumetric pump to safely transfer products to layflat pouches for rapid chilling in a Tucs Batch Chiller

Tucs is also offering other innovative new products, including new selfcontained electric sous-vide cook tanks and a 30-gallon mobile pack-tank hopper with agitation

Science-Backed Precision Oil Quality Measurement Methods Are Taking Over

For decades, any commercial kitchen using deep fryers needed some method to determine the current quality of their f r y i n g o i l D o i n g s o i s n e c e s s a r y t o ensure that the oil is not used too long nor changed too early

S i n c e a c t u a l m e a s u r e m e n t s h a v e either not been available, been too expensive or could not be d o n e f a s t e n o u g h , chefs tried to determine their oil quality by looking at the color of their oil or submerging a frying basket and deciding, based on the visibility, whether it is time to discard or not These methods are still widely used, and even taught to the next generation

Nowadays, we know that the color of the frying oil usually has no connection to its quality The dark color of used oil mainly comes from a caramelization process and can vary greatly depending on the product introduced into the oil.

Today, digital testing devices are a v a i l a b l e a n d m o r e t h a n a f f o r d a b l e

Testers like the VITO FT440 measure the polarity of the oil, which is directly related to chemical quality These testers are highly accurate and remove any guesswork around the fryer.

V i t o o f f e r s a f f o r d a b l e m e a s u r e m e n t d e v i c e s t h a t k e e p t h e o p e r a t i o n v e r y e a s y , s o a n y o n e i n t h e kitchen can obtain reliable readings The tester display n o t o n l y s h o w s r e s u l t s i n TPM (Total Polar Material), but the added signal lights flash in green, yellow or red, m a k i n g i t e a s y t o u n d e rstand.

Why You Should Only Choose Factory-Built Grease Duct

Type 1 kitchen hood grease ducts and proper ventilation are vital in any commercial kitchen. It can be the difference between a safe working environment and sheer disaster. Currently, there are two exhaust duct options to choose from in the marketplace: field-fabricated with minimal safety code materials and methods of construction or UL-liste d a n d c o d e - a p p r o v e d f a c t o r y - b u i l t grease duct

AMPCO by Duravent offers double wall insulated ZClear™, the most innovative factory-built kitchen grease duct in the industry.

Here are the top reasons why you should only choose factory-built grease duct:

Superior Safety

ZClear is safety tested and listed to s t r i n g e n t U L t e s t r e q u i r e m e n t s ( U L 1978, UL 2221), which include a 30minute 2,000°F internal grease fire test. U n l i k e r e c t a n g u l a r w e l d e d s y s t e m s , ZClear allows zero clearance to combustibles without the need for additional field wrap insulation The ZClear’s two-hour fire rating eliminates the need to design and install a separate firerated chase The product’s cylindrical stainless steel construction maintains strength at much higher temperatures than carbon steel and protects people and property even in the event of a grease fire.

Efficiency

Energy efficiency and overall performance are greatly improved with round grease duct designs due to less flow resistance In addition, round stainless systems are much easier to clean and reduce grease accumulation compared to rectangular designs.

Customizable and Attractive

The modular concept of factory-built g r e a s e d u c t p r o v i d e s f o r m a x i m u m design flexibility and ease of installa-

tion The AMPCO by Duravent engineering staff provides complete design services that takes the guesswork out of installation, even for the most complex systems. ZClear can be customized to your unique application requirements and is available in a variety of exterior color and material options

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Factory-built grease duct is higher in quality, durability and has a longer life compared to field fabricated systems ZClear features a limited lifetime war-

Ford Gum Delivers Nostalgia & Newness

Ford Gum & Machine Co is a leading U S m a n u f a c t u r e r o f r e t a i l c o n f e ctionery and gift products, private label gum and bulk vending confections Ford Gum specializes in both sugar and sugar-free products as well as aluminum cast gumball machines They are the only manufacture r o f g u m b a l l s i n t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s a n d t h e only maker of sugar-free gumballs in the world

The company is most well known for its line of Big League Chew® bubble g u m s . T h i s i c o n i c b r a n d h a s b e e n

Ford Gum entered i n t o a n a g r e e m e n t with iconic candy company Jelly Belly® to produce a line of sugar-free gum based on popular Jelly Belly jelly bean flavors.

The 1200W Sonic Chef Commercial high-speed oven combines three cooking technologies – high-speed convect i o n , t w i n “ i n v e r t e r ” m i c r o w a v e a n d broil – all in a compact, ventless and stackable design that simply plugs in The Sonic Steamer oven steams two full-size, 4-inch deep pans easily and precisely, and also runs by simply plugging in No vents, hood or water line required Taking its place as your new prep cook, this portable, programmable steamer comes with 16-memory capability, five power levels and three-stage cooking, with two top and two bottom heating elements.

The specs are impressive, but these appliances reveal their true beauty and versatility when you see them in action For that perspective, you can go to

The Sonic Steamer draws similar raves from Kukuka “The fact that you can program your settings and then cook food perfectly with a simple touch of a button, and also have a team member trained in how to execute an item within moments, that is invaluable And the consistency in food will be there every single time ” The steamer addresses a lot of safety concerns, too “There's a lot of potential danger in traditional kitchens from taking a big steam kettle of boiling water and cooking pasta, for example. It’s a process that produces a lot of waste, too, which actually drives up the cost.” The Sonic Steamer, with its streamlined design and no need for a vent or water line, reduces that risk and needless waste

At this moment in the industry, in which a lot of companies are rebuilding a n d l o o k i n g a t f o o d s e r v i c e o f t h e future, it looks as if the Sonic Solution is poised to be right at the forefront For more information, visit na.panasonic c o m / u s / c o m m e r c i a l - a p p l i a n c e s , c a l l 201 271 3476 or stop by booth #1627

Waring Commercial Campaign Empowers the Industry to Reduce Waste

As a global leader in foodservice equipm e n t w i t h a l o n g l e g a c y o f b r e a kt h r o u g h s f o r t h e b e t t e r m e n t o f t h e industry, Waring Commercial is launching Waring Empowered, a bold initiative to reduce food waste with cuttingedge techniques and tools Created to educate and advise on the importance o f w a s t e r e d u c t i o n , the initiative addresses a key flashpoint for foodservice operators and chefs.

G i v e n t h e f a c t t h a t r e s t a u r a n t s account for approxim a t e l y 3 3 b i l l i o n pounds of food waste – b e t w e e n 2 5 , 0 0 0 a n d 7 5 , 0 0 0 p o u n d s p e r r e s t a u r a n t p e r year – the repercussions for the environment and the bottom line are far-reaching. As a result, Waring Commercial is doing its part as a m a j o r m a n u f a c t u r e r o f f o o d s e r v i c e solutions to empower chefs and operators to win the fight against food waste

Wasted food is wasted money, and puts both restaurants and the planet at risk For waste reduction to become a reality, collaborative and imaginative approaches are essential.

“Waste is a failure of the imagination,” asserts Douglas McMaster, Chef of Silo, the world’s first zero-waste restaurant, located in London. Silo turns any remnants from its locally sourced ingredients into compost, which is then used to help produce more food

By identifying top offenders (food t h a t i s f r e q u e n t l y t h r o w n a w a y o r d i scarded as waste) and h i g h l i g h t i n g c r e a t i v e w a y s t o u t i l i z e t h e s e items, Waring will help o p e r a t o r s i m p r o v e m a r g i n s a n d m a k e t h e i r k i t c h e n s m o r e sustainable “ I t ’ s n o t l e f t o v e r s that are wasteful,” said J u l i a n B a g g i n i , C oF o u n d e r o f T h e P h i l o s o p h e r s ’ M a g a z i n e , “ b u t t h o s e who either don’t know what to do with them or can’t be bothered.”

A combination of culinary creativity and the right kitchen equipment is the recipe for success in the quest to reduce waste Waring Empowered shifts the conversation from food waste to “ingred i e n t o p t i m i z a t i o n , ” p r o v i d i n g t h e t o o l s , t e c h n i q u e s a n d p r i n c i p l e s t o inspire change and make the system

Portion Packaging From Wilpack

In the competitive restaurant business, restaurateurs are always looking for an edge to attract more customers Now, a n u m b e r o f p r o a c t i v e r e s t a u r a t e u r s , from mom-and-pop shops to regional chains, are looking beyond the dining room to boost their business and brand with portion packaging to go

P o r t i o n p a c k a g i n g p l a c e s f o o d items in conveniently sized containers –from small, dipping sauce-size cups to large, family-size deli cups that can be neatly used anywhere to satisfy today’s i n c r e a s i n g l y o n - t h e - g o c o n s u m e r lifestyle.

Improving Take Out and Delivery

While takeout and delivered orders can be an important part of a restaurant’s business, too often it can make the wrong impression if the product spills in the bag or car on the way home, making a mess At fault are the “clamshell” food containers and plastic “snap cap” cups typically used for transport These not only do not seal securely, but also

do not provide an oxygen barrier This means the take out and delivered food will not stay fresh for long

To prevent spilling liquid or semiv i s c o u s p r o d u c t s f r o m s o u p , s a u c e , s a l s a , s y r u p a n d s a l a d d r e s s i n g t o gravy, curry, chili, pudding, hummus, c o l e s l a w , p o t a t o s a l a d a n d m a s h e d potatoes, more restaurateurs are turning to conveniently portion packaged, foil-sealed cups These eliminate spills and mess, while enhancing safety and freshness

A f o i l - s e a l b a r r i e r c a n p r e s e r v e product shelf life and freshness longer than a typical, non-airtight, snap-on lid.

Optimizing Food Prep and Retail

Since the foil seal extends freshness, you are able to eliminate the daily prep of your products in favor of prepping batches once a week

For restaurants with popular special recipes, such as a signature BBQ or s p a g h e t t i s a u c e , f o i l s e a l i n g p o r t i o n control cups can even enable pre-packa g e d r e t a i l s a l e s . E x i s t i n g r e s t a u r a n t staff can package these items during non-peak service hours This can create an additional revenue stream for the restaurant to promote its brand, with its n a m e , l o g o o r o t h e r i n f o r m a t i o n imprinted on the foil seals or portion control cups

the solution

While Waring has served as the industry’s solutions specialist for more than 80 years, it is now committed to an even higher purpose as an ambassador of sustainability that empowers representatives, dealers and chefs to transform foods typically thrown away into menu staples.

F i l l e d w i t h i n f o r m a t i o n o n t h e many ways Waring Commercial equipm e n t c a n h e l p r e d u c e w a s t e w h i l e boosting culinary creativity and output, the new Waring Empowered website will be a go-to resource for sustainable foodservice practices

The initiative also includes the Chef Collective, a collaborative effort with renowned chefs who inform and inspire through social media with posts about Waring equipment and waste reduction solutions

“Waring is steadfast in its commitment to win the war on waste,” said Dan DeBari, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Waring Commercial “In close collaboration with the culinary community, we are dedicated to providing engaging content and actionable solutions. This impactful initiative will help chefs and restaurants reduce food costs, create new revenue streams and increase profitability while protecting the planet Our hope is to inspire change ”

Larger chains are benefitting from more automatic, high-volume fill and seal systems “Originally, we used snap cap cups for various sauces, but it was too messy and labor intensive,” says Michael Brinkman, President of Bud’s Chicken and Seafood Restaurants, one of the largest family-owned and operate d c h i c k e n a n d s e a f o o d r e s t a u r a n t chains in South Florida today with multiple locations

Lock America: Protecting Petroleum Dispensers Against Theft

Petroleum dispensers are under nationwide attack, from Florida to Michigan to Washington

Lock America of Corona, California, manufactures high security retrofit lock systems that prevent the insertion of devices that open up petroleum dispensers for fuel theft or skimmer placement

The recent rise (and fall) of gas prices has inspired a rise in wholesale attacks on dispensers Thieves insert a device that bypasses the meter and opens the gate for wholesale theft

Criminal success relies on cheap “ u n i v e r s a l ” l o c k s o n t h e d i s p e n s e r , which allow professional thieves quick and easy access into dispensers.

For a few years, the industry placed its hopes on security stickers to indicate tampering Will the stickers be applied properly? Will they be properly maintained? Will low wage employees monitor their condition?

If this weren’t enough, according to the FBI, skimmer gangs have begun covering their tracks by installing counterfeit stickers, and probably buying legitimate ones as well.

A pick-resistant lock on the door with a high security key helps to keep fuel in dispensers and tanks, and bypass and skimming devices out

“One employee at our commissary can now produce what several did manually at individual restaurants in the past,” concludes Brinkman. “Since our Wilpack sealer is faster and more compact than our previous machine, it has doubled our production speed and simp l i f i e d o p e r a t i o n s i n t h e s a m e f l o o r space ”

FEN: Why is oil management important?

CS: We believe when oil management is executed correctly, you will have repeat customers – which is every restaurant’s goal Customers are looking for value and a culinary experience, but they also expect excellent food quality every time they visit. Oil costs are going up, and it can equate to 10 percent of food costs.

FEN: What are some commonly overlooked tasks by fry teams?

CS: Some often overlooked but easy to fix tasks are daily filtration, skimming floating food off the surface of the oil, keeping fryers clean and maintained and not loading baskets or seasoning over fryers All these components lead to oil being damaged prematurely, and result in disposing of oil earlier than necessary Case studies have shown that with every filtration, restaurants can easily extend oil life by one to three days

system design, site verification, build the system, coordinate installation and complete post install followup

What will be on draft? This is the first question we ask before designing a draft beverage system Various beverage styles and types require varying degrees of gas volumes and varying blends of gas. Carbon dioxide or CO2 gas is required for nearly all draft bevera g e s y s t e m s .

ing tower(s), but also on the trunk line size, which will ultimately impact the s i z e a n d n u m b e r o f b e v e r a g e l i n e chillers required

O n c e w e u n d e r s t a n d t h e d r a f t menu, we then begin to carefully look at the floor plan The path beverages will take to move out of the keg and to the dispensing tower is critical to properly designing a system More than distance alone, elevation also plays a key role in determining the method to be used for moving beverages through the lines.

There are two primary methods for moving beverages from keg to faucet in remote draft systems: applied direct gas pressure and beverage pump systems There are no specific breaks for when to choose one method over the other,

Furthermore, Norbec solutions are tailored to customer needs and ensure the highest quality, performance and space optimization

though it is generally understood that applied direct gas pressure systems are used when line runs are short with no change in elevation and/or when one or more nitrogenated beverages will be on draft Beverage pump systems are generally designed into projects with long line runs from keg to faucet, or when large elevation changes are present

A final, yet very important consideration is what towers will be used to dispense the beverages. In many ways, the dispensing tower is the first interaction a customer has with their beverage as they see it being poured Beverage dispensing towers are often seen as a focal element of the interior design and a r e a v a i l a b l e i n s e e m i n g l y e n d l e s s options Regardless of the customer’s
