Kerridge’s Guest Chefs Endorse Retigo at The Baring

Kerridge’s Guest Chefs Endorse Retigo at The Baring

Retigo invited 20 celebrity chefs and key players in the catering industry to The Baring, Islington for a presentation and full introduction to Retigo combi ovens.

A banquet style food tasting cooked by Rob Tecwyn and team at The Baring with their own Retigo oven accompanied an in depth combi oven demonstration from chef Danny Burns and National Sales Manager Craig Barnett.

All of the guest chefs present were able to gain an insight into the oven’s functionality, programmes, available accessories, customisation options, touch screen controls, response and efficiency. Danny also took the oven apart to show the build quality, working parts and the internal system which saves both on water and energy consumption.

Comments from the assembled guests include:

Rob Tecwyn, The Baring’s Head Chef & Owner “…everyone’s been really impressed with how it performs”

“one of the things I haven’t seen before is actually the side loading….which makes loading a lot easier….it sounds like a small thing but makes a massive difference”

Rob went on to comment on the support he’s received following the installation of the oven…“Since day one, everyone at Retigo has been super helpful. I’ve actually been shocked at how responsive everyone has been. It really is invaluable because, as I’m sure you know, chefs are very demanding at the best of times.”

Nick Beardshaw, Executive Chef at Kerridge’s Bar and Grill at the Corinthia, “…I really like the cross facing configuration. So you can put gastronorm trays in sideways which give you huge visibility”

Ray Costelloe, Founder of CCE London “….they are more efficient than other ovens. Not only is that money saving it’s also something we should all look at doing”.

Gamechanger: Winterhalter’s new high volume conveyor dishwashers

Gamechanger: Winterhalter’s new high volume conveyor dishwashers

MT warewash systems set new benchmarks in performance, adaptability and sustainability.

Winterhalter has launched new versions of its MT (Multi Tank) high volume conveyor dishwasher systems. The company says these MTs set new benchmarks in terms of performance, sustainability and adaptability.

Stephen Kinkead, managing director of Winterhalter UK, believes the new MTs are a ‘gamechanger’ that will help designers and operators meet the demands placed on commercial kitchens today. “Functional and energy efficient technology, clever spatial planning, economical operating processes, ease of use and maximum hygiene safety – the MTs deliver in all these key areas,” he says.

There are two models of MT conveyor systems. They are the MTF flight machines, where dirties are loaded directly onto the conveyor, and the MTR rack machines, which use racks to carry the ware.

The MT’s high performance washing system produces first class results while the superior, multi-filtration process minimises running costs, by lowering water use and thus reducing the energy needed to heat it. MT systems have a huge washing capacity – the largest MTF can handle 8,000 plates per hour, while the equivalent MTR has a capacity of 355 racks per hour. As well as cleaning efficiently, the ‘air knife’ and standard drying zones deliver optimised drying results, so that ware can be handled efficiently and quickly after the wash.

The new MT is based around a versatile modular system that allows machines to be configured to very precise specifications – so that it can be constructed to exactly match the application, and designed to match the shape and size of the room it is intended for. The basic structure of the machine consists of the pre-wash, main wash and rinse zones, plus an inlet zone, positioned upstream, and loading and unloading zones. Additional zones, such as extra wash zones, allow the machine to be tailored exactly to individual requirements. If new wash items are added that are difficult to dry, due to their shape or material, the MT can be retrofitted with additional drying units. In addition, Winterhalter offers neutral zones that mean the MT can accept extra-large wash items, such as crates or containers. The neutral zones do this by extending the draining distance between zones. They also enhance the machine’s performance.

The adaptability doesn’t stop there – the MT can be modified if business requirements change. For example, extra wash zones can be retrofitted to increase capacity.

Sustainability is at the heart of the new MT, with a variety of features and options to minimise both environmental impact and running costs. Typical are the heat pumps and exchangers that not only recycle the energy from waste water and water vapour, but also minimise the heat and steam emitted by the machine, enhancing the work environment and reducing the workload on the ventilation system.

List prices for the new MT start from around £51,000.

Winterhalter provides a total solution for dishwashing and glasswashing, from pre-sales advice to after-sales service, training and maintenance, with sustainability fitted as standard. Alongside its market-leading dish washers and glass washers, the company’s range includes utensil washers, advanced water treatment machines, and cleaning detergents and rinse aids. For further details, call Winterhalter on 01908 359000, visit www.winterhalter.com/uk-en/ or email info@winterhalter.co.uk.


Granuldisk becomes Nor:disk and launches range of dishwashers – with special introduction offers

Day: December 4, 2023

June has been a busy month for Swedish ware washing expert Granuldisk. The company has both introduced dishwashers to its – until now – strict range of granule and water-based ware washers. On top of this, they changed their name to Nordisk Clean Solutions.

Further more, a coalition with Italian Silanos – producer of the Nor:disk’s line of water-based products – was also announced, which further intensifies the collaboration between the two.

  • – We’re on a journey and want to help “save the planet, one drop at a time” as our company vision boldly states. The world is changing, and so are we. We have more than 35 years of know-how when it comes to sustainable thinking from our journey with granule technology – now we aim to help even more customers to move from a traditional way of washing dishes, to a more sustainable one, says CEO Mikael Samuelsson.

UK product release – bundle offer

The latest product release from Nor:disk is pure dishwashing machines – one hooded and one undercounter: D2 and D1. They come in two ranges – Base and Master – where the Master models apart from an excellent wash result also can boast their low water consumption and noise-level. The range also offers inlet and outlet tables, as well as a bridge table enabling two hooded models to be linked for added capacity and ease of use.

To mark the introduction, Nor:disk is offering 3 exclusive bundle offers.

  • – We are proud to introduce our new range of dishwashers, and want to help our dealers get off to a good start and maximise their business, says Country Sales Manager Keith Broadway.
