Varitek Cooking System

(Article from March 2012 Edition of Educatering Magazine)

‘All you can heat buffet’

 

London’s newest eco-friendly luxury hotel – the Grange Tower Bridge – features a gorgeous buffet system including BGL Rieber’s Varitek front of the house cooking system.

Sister hotel, the Langham Grange, features the ACS (self-ventilating) version of the Varitek.

Both units were selected and installed by General Catering Solutions’ Amjad Alikhan, who explained that the Varitek front facing cooking units promote good communication between the chefs and customers.

“The ACS self-ventilating version of the Varitek was installed at the Langham Grange in an area with a low ceiling” he says. “Caterers expect to see a canopy over cooking equipment, but that would have taken away from the aesthetics. When I explained that ACS Varitek is self-ventilating and does not need a canopy, they said, ‘Wow, that’s better!’

“The Rieber Varitek is good. durable equipment and the service from the company is great.”

Iglu – 1 Plus Series

 

Iglu Cold Systems refrigerated cabinets are the best you can work with.

Elegantly designed, they are in AISI 304 steel inside and out, and the range includes a remote version.

Cell humidity is electronically controlled and an “intelligent” system defrosts as and when necessary.

The refrigeration system is “monobloc” and allows all the space in the cell to be fully used.

Available with two depths of 700 or 800 mm, they come with a liquid crystal display, lighting and lock.

HACCP control is standard and the memory holds up to 255 alarms, with the last 16 events showing all the details (type, duration, temperature, etc.).

Each unit undergoes strict quality control and operational tests to provide worry-free performance, also due to an exclusive electronic self-diagnosis system.

Iglu Cold Systems – 1 Plus Series, available now from General Catering Ltd.

G2 – The Second Generation

Available here from March 2012!
The new Foster Refrigerator EcoPro G2 Range (click to go to full product range).

Foster introduces the most significant new product range in commercial refrigeration

  • The EcoPro G2 range sets a new standard for quality, performance and energy-efficiency
  • Range to further enhance Foster’s reputation as the maker of the world’s finest commercial refrigerators
  • Foster Refrigerator is delighted to announce the launch of the revolutionary new EcoPro G2 range. This highly anticipated new range of products has been designed from the ground-up with customer needs in mind, and incorporates a whole new range of innovative and intuitive new features designed to be the ultimate in energy efficiency.To develop the EcoPro G2 range, Foster has invested £4m in its British manufacturing facility at King’s Lynn. The new, state-of-the-art production line means that the new EcoPro range benefits from the most advanced manufacturing
    facility of its type anywhere in the world. This new facility has allowed Foster to develop and produce the most innovative refrigeration product ever brought to market. Manufactured to be as technologically and environmentally advanced as possible, the EcoPro G2 range is British design and manufacturing at its best, incorporating features such as Foster’s CFD modelling capability, otherwise known as ‘Fluid Food-Fresh Technology’, a high-visibility temperature display PVAM (power display) which allows for easy temperature monitoring at all times, and the use of cyclopentane  foam which provides for a 15% energy saving.“The EcoPro G2 range has been designed to meet the most demanding catering environments and expectations”, says Chris Playford, Foster Refrigerator’s Market and Development Director.  “We are confident that this range will be the absolute standard by which all other products will be judged.” Built from the ground up to include over 50 new innovations, the EcoPro G2is loaded with new design, quality, reliability, efficiency and performance features:

    • All new thicker and more robust cabinet design with advanced thermal efficiency and market leading capacity making your money go further.
    • New ‘smartphone style’ touch sensitive hidden-until-lit control panel with unique high visibility temperature display combines and sophistication with functionality.
    • All-new ergonomic door and handle design for ease of opening and cleaning.
    • Designed using high technology ‘Fluid Food-Fresh Dynamics’ modelling, the new and improved advanced Foster Circulair II air distribution system maximises efficient operation even when shelves are fully loaded.
    • Brand-new refrigeration system designed to be the most technologically advanced and energy efficient yet.
    • New ‘Airlines’ ventilation system cools the compressor which reduces running time by 15%.
    • Revolutionary racking set-up means added stability with less components.
    • Sleek new modern aesthetic combines form and function to give you a great looking, easy to use, efficient product.
    • New and improved ‘Fuzzy Logic II’ intelligent controller with ‘e’ mode, for reduced energy consumption.
    • Innovative new thermal break and hot gas door heater, deliver improved efficiency and a combined reduction in temperature loss and condensation.
    • Completely re-engineered inner recessed door interface provides mechanical barrier to protect gasket face from the cold air of the interior.
    • And much, much more…

    Foster believes that the ‘whole life cost’ proposition offered by the new EcoPro G2 range will be outstanding. The range incorporates over fifty new innovations, many of which are designed to deliver world-beating efficiency and drive down running costs, while the strength of engineering and quality will undoubtedly result in exceptional reliability with minimal maintenance
    requirements.

    “With all the engineering excellence that has gone into this new range, it’s easy to forget exactly what these products are designed to achieve”, continues Playford. ”Our customers simply want their food stored to the best possible standard; caterers want their equipment to perform in such a way that there is a tangible benefit to the quality of what they produce. The EcoPro G2 range will exceed those expectations and contribute to the efficiency and profitability of a business along the way. It’s as simple as that.”

Red One Catering Equipment

Red One is a fresh approach to the Budget Catering Equipment market because it’s not just cheap. We all know ‘Cheap’ is great because you save money but it’s not so good when the ‘Cheap’ things break and you have to replace them.

And ‘Reliable’ is great too but reliability has always cost a few pennies more and when times are tight, like now, or when you’re starting out, it’s sometimes a little difficult to make budgets fit the requirements. Until nowthat is…

The Red One from Parry has got ‘Cheap’ and ‘Reliable’ together, and the result is a range of professional catering equipment that is both easy to afford and easy to live with.

So there you have it. It’s taken Parry a long time to get it right but the results speak for themselves. A wide range of really affordable, solid and reliable catering equipment that won’t break the bank and keep a smile on your face.

Click here to go to Red One products.

Bespoke Wine Display Cabinets from Iglu Cold Systems

Hello,

We are proud to announce that we now supply some of the best bespoke wine display cabinets that are available in the commercial market at the moment.  The Mirabilia Wine Displays are already in some prestigious sites in and around London, particularly in Mayfair.  The displays have been fitted in the Radisson Edwardian, Mayfair and the Hakkasan.  In addition, the Mirabilia wine display cabinet can also be seen in the Savoy, the Corinthia and the Mandarin Oriental.

These bespoke wine display cabinets can act as an architectural partition between rooms or stand against a wall-often covering it entirely to create a “wine wall” effect.  In height they can fit right up to the ceiling or if covered by a suitable worktop they can act as a serving counter, as have been designed for the Mandarin Hotel in London.

We are currently awaiting some more photos to put on our website.  If you have any queries regarding these fantastic wine display cabinets, please call us on 0843 2892881.

Thanks for reading,

The Team
