Eco-cooking at Convotherm
Convotherm Elektrogeräte GmbH has developed a new energy efficiency ecoCooking mode for its combi steamers. EcoCooking saves up to 25% energy and is verified by the new DIN regulation 18873-1. The ecoCooking mode, featuring Convotherm’s integrated Advanced Closed Systems to keep almost all the heat inside the chamber, was awarded the Gulfood Award for the best environmental initiative during the Gulfood exhibition in February 2010. Since December 2009, all Convotherm combi steamers with the easy touch option have been equipped with ecoCooking.

Instata makes a splash
Instata, the water boiler manufacturer, has launched a range of Sous Vide Digital Water Baths.
Available in two sizes, the water baths have been designed specifically for sous vide cooking.
Following six months of trials in busy restaurants, the water baths are now in production in 25-litre and 38-litre sizes.
The baths are easy to drain for cleaning, and have a low water audible warning sign with boil-dry protection to safeguard the element.
The units come complete with a hinged safety glass lid and a two-year guarantee.
Instata managing director John Brassey said: “With more than 50 years of water heating experience, this is a natural first venture into prime cooking equipment and we have made sure that we have created exactly what chefs want.
“The new machines contain unique features that have evolved from working closely with chefs who use sous vide as an important part of their menus and we are confident that we have got the package right.”

Toast of the town
New from Rowlett Rutland is the six slot Regent bread toaster. Built in the UK, each toaster is individually tested and certified before leaving the factory.
The toaster features a stainless steel top coupled with a white body of epoxy polyester powder paint electronically bonded to the metal.
The toaster is designed for all manner of food service applications, including pubs, clubs, restaurants, hotels and leisure outlets and features a ‘toast ready ringer, neon indicator lamp and convenient pull-out crumb tray for easy cleaning. To maximise customer satisfaction, the Regent automatically switches off at the end of a cycle, but the toast remains warm in the machine until taken out.
