Hobart’s newest range of undercounter warewashers has landed a highly significant iF Design Award, a world-renowned mark of excellence, given for functionality and aesthetic, and judged by an international panel of over 60 design experts. This win comes after the new range was honoured at one of Germany’s most respected industry awards, Best of Market, where they landed a highly prized award in the ‘process optimisation’ category.

The new glass and dishwasher models have been designed around the core values of simplicity and performance and benefit from key innovations, drastically cutting drying times, enhancing the user experience via single button operation, improving efficiencies across the board and for the first time providing a fully connected wash experience by way of Hobart’s innovative new WashSmart app.

The award-winning range is available now to end users through Hobart’s new flexible finance packages, a 3/5-year contract rental and an extended 18/24 interest-free option – available on all machines, tabling and installation. Following the launch of the packages in September 2018, Hobart has reported a massive 160% spike in sites upgrading to its highest spec PREMAX warewashers, good news for dealers who can not only use the plans to drive more business, crucially, they can help end users achieve the green machine they want, not just the one they think they can afford.

Tim Bender, Sales Director, Hobart Equipment Division, says: “We’re delighted that our newest range has been recognised with not one, but two, prestigious awards. The development of the new undercounters represents a true leap in innovation and has resulted in our smartest, simplest, most intuitive design so far. A true testament to our R&D process. I urge dealers to look to our flexible finance packages to sell more equipment and help end users release their sustainability ambitions by way of these ground-breaking green machines.”

Hobart UK has now aligned its Warewash and Cooking divisions into one single sales and administration operation known simply as the Hobart Equipment Division.

The world market and technology leader in the field of hot food preparation for commercial kitchens produces the millionth combi-steamer. The unit will go on a world tour before being installed at the Hofbräuhaus in Munich.

Quite a normal SelfCookingCenter, as they leave the production halls of Rational in Landsberg am Lech hundreds of times every day. But there is one combi-steamer that will hold a special mention in the history of the company, because it is the millionth unit. “A milestone for Rational,” explains Peter Wiedemann, Chief Technical Officer of Rational AG.  When Siegfried Meister founded the company in 1973, nobody imagined how successful it would become within such a short time. The first combi-steamer was produced just three years after the founding of the company, and the technology has been continuously developed since then. Today, more than 130 million meals are prepared in Rational units every day around the world.

The combi-steamer is going on a world tour

The secret to its success is customer orientation and specialisation. From the very first day, the Landsbergers concentrated on offering the people working in commercial kitchens around the world the greatest possible benefit. “And it is precisely with these people that we are celebrating this milestone with,” says Dr Peter Stadelmann, Chairman of the Board. It was decided that the millionth combi-steamer would be sent on a world tour to be displayed at the major trade fairs around the globe. The milestone unit can easily be identified by the lettering “1,000,000” written on its gold rotary knob and the personalised control panel. “This SelfCookingCenter will be going to the Hofbräuhaus,” explains Dr Stadelmann, “therefore we will place the logo of the Munich institution in a clearly visible position.” The SelfCookingCenter will be returning to Germany around the end of October for installation at the Hofbräuhaus.

For the entrepreneurs within the company, as Rational employees see themselves, this is no reason to rest. Quite the contrary. “We know about four million commercial kitchens across the globe that use our technology to their benefit. A motivating number for us,” says Markus Paschmann, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, and adds: “Even though the percentage of kitchens with Rational units is constantly rising, there are still many we wish to inspire with the customer benefit we offer.”

Synergy Grill Technology is proud to present ‘The Trilogy Range’, our third generation of Synergy Grills. Offering three variable heat control settings, three coloured finishes, as well as three accessories as standard, you can certainly say that all good things come in three’s!

The three different settings – low, medium and high, really puts the control back in the hands of chefs. The low setting is perfect for cooking foods that have a high fat content, the medium setting gives the operator a more general heat, whilst the high setting allows for additional searing, where required.

The three different finishes; Polished Steel, Matt Black and Synergy Blue in the recognisable Synergy SG630, SG900 and SG1300 units, means that any three of the grills within the Trilogy Range make for a sleek and sophisticated addition to the commercial kitchen, perfect for any operator that wishes to integrate the pioneering technology of  Synergy Grill in to their cooking line-up.

Furthermore, with three accessories as standard; the quick release garnish rail, the slow cook shelf and the stainless steel bar lifter and scraper, chefs will be well equipped for everyday kitchen operations. As if that wasn’t enough, there are also three different cooking surfaces available to order including standard char bars, a griddle plate top and reversible diamond bars, to ensure there is no limitation to the ingredients that can be used on a Synergy Grill.

Justin Cadbury, Chairman of Synergy Grill Technology, is delighted to see the brand launch their third generation of grills:

“We are thrilled to be introducing The Trilogy Range to our portfolio of grilling equipment. Synergy Grills have become the trusted equipment for individual restaurants and hotels, large national chains and groups across the globe, as well as being the prime cooking equipment of choice of Michelin star and top chefs.

The Trilogy Range really is the next step in giving operators more control in their own kitchen.”

Justin continues,

“Before the Synergy Grill, chargrilling technology hadn’t changed in over 20 years. We’ve brought it into the 21st Century with innovative commercial gas grill technology you won’t find anywhere else in the world. Combining high power with low energy consumption, Synergy Grills enable operators to prepare food faster at less than half the energy costs. The Trilogy Range is no exception to this.  As the third generation of Synergy Grills, The Trilogy Range perfectly showcases how we as a company continue to revolutionise the catering industry and constantly strive to give our customers the very best grilling experience.”

New Recirculation Unit for Commercial Kitchens, the CK ReCirc™

The demand for these recirculation units is always growing, as more unusual and restricted spaces are being optimised by catering business owners. Recirculating will allow such kitchen professionals to take advantage of existing spaces without the high cost and practical implications that would apply to retrofitting permanent equipment like exhaust hood fans and ductwork, which filter airborne grease and smoke out into the atmosphere.

CK Direct’s ReCirc™ is a self-contained kitchen ventilation unit with environmental design considerations that also eliminate major risks to the kitchen, such as ductwork fire hazards. Multiple stages of inventive filtration within the unit remove grease, particulate, smoke and odour before re-introducing cleaner air to the kitchen – The unit therefore, needs no direct duct connection to the atmosphere.

Let’s revolutionise your commercial kitchen

Be sure to learn more about the recirculation unit for commercial kitchens and other new products in the range by calling a member of the CK Direct team on 01733 230378

Customers can also discuss with our experts their specific commercial kitchen requirements, whether it be for ventilation and extraction systems, fabricated stainless steel equipment or the most advanced odour control solutions available to the UK market.

Following last year’s successful Tomorrow’s Kitchen concept and events, Rational is launching iKitchen. The new venture is an evolution of Rational’s total thermal cooking solution concept combined with their ConnectedCooking digital technology. Connected cooking networks the Rational appliances into a smart kitchen, with remote control, service maintenance, recipe sharing and automatic software downloads.

Costly and space-inefficient kitchen equipment is a relic of the past. The multi functional combination of the SelfCookingCenter and VarioCookingCenter provides consistent high quality results, on a compact footprint. ConnectedCooking networks these appliances into a smart kitchen delivering a complete and reliable solution, allowing operators to respond to any kitchen situation. Providing increased flexibility in the kitchen, whilst saving money, time, space and energy.

‘iKitchen’ is the system solution consisting of the SelfCookingCenter, VarioCookingCenter and ConnectedCooking, which adapts to the size of a kitchen and making it more productive. The two cooking systems complement each other in their cooking methods, sharing some of the workload and therefore are flexible in their use. With ConnectedCooking, Rational’s networking solution, the kitchen turns digital, managing and transferring cooking programs, accessing HACCP data and much more via PC, tablet or mobile.

Operators and chefs are invited to attend iKitchen events. A Rational chef will cook using a combi oven, the SelfCookingCenter, alongside the VarioCookingCenter. They will show how, in tandem, the two appliances provide flexibility, high volumes of food with consistently high quality results from a compact footprint, and how being networked with ConnectedCooking will deliver all the cooking processes that a modern kitchen requires.

Adam Knights is marketing director at Rational. “The events demonstrate how connected modern multi functional appliances deliver a complete and reliable solution, allowing a food service operation to respond any kitchen situation,” he says. “ We will show how the latest cooking technology brings benefits to every part of the catering industry, the flexibility of multi functional appliances means caterers can future-proof their kitchen, making it easy to adapt to changing menus.”

Each iKitchen event will showcase how by being connected provides increased flexibility in the kitchen and a truly sustainable, environmentally aware kitchen solution that protects the future, saving energy, reducing food wastage and increasing productivity.

There are six iKitchen events, running from May to November. They are free to attend, however places are limited, so it’s wise to book early. They are:
