Significant advantages of Spidoglass Contact Grills

The best surface to cook on

Glass ceramic is the perfect material for contact cooking. Resistant to shocks and thermal shocks, impermeable to odours and flavours, it does not absorb the taste of cooked food and therefore allows you to cook even very different foods in sequence while maintaining intact flavours and aromas. Thanks to the non-stick characteristics of the material, the fumes produced during cooking are greatly reduced and cleaning operations are simple and quick, allowing you to eliminate the risk of bad odors due to food residues on the hobs.

Cooking performance and energy saving

Protek.SAFE technology eliminates unnecessary energy losses, minimising energy consumption and thus allowing all heating energy to be concentrated on the hobs, with obvious benefits also for the safety of those who work with the product. SpidoGlass plates allow you to significantly increase the heating speed of hobs without the need for additional power. The high thermal insulation minimizes energy consumption during standby cycles, making the product always ready for any request without sacrificing the energy efficiency of the room.

SPIDOFLAT ceramic FryTops cook meat, fish and vegetables evenly without altering their flavours. They are safe to use and quick and easy to clean, giving obvious benefits in terms of cooking speed and increased productivity.

Significant advantages of Spidoflat Griddles

Performance, speed without compromise

The SHB Plus technology uses non-armoured heating elements that allow cooking with a mixed heating system, by contact and by infrared radiation. The shape of the heating filament is specially developed to ensure even heat distribution throughout the cooktop. The filament reaches a temperature of 800°C, at which infrared rays are emitted. The glass ceramic tops allow a predetermined amount to seep through, which reaches and heats the food directly on its surface.

A Guide For Specifying Equipment For Buffet & Open Kitchen Service

Speed and variety are of the essence when operating a successful buffet/open kitchen service, which is why operators must be well-equipped in the kitchen.

The most important thing when choosing any food-holding equipment is to think about the menu items it will be used for. High moisture products, for example, will hold better than dry products, therefore it is vital to have the correct systems in place to suit individual items.

The good news is, that there is a much wider choice of holding products on the market than there ever used to be – across hot, cold and ambient – which means more flexibility for businesses to meet their individual needs.

Hatco’s product portfolio has adapted over the years, introducing new products and technologies to help overcome evolving challenges across different catering sectors. Prime examples include its drop-in solutions – perfect for both hot and cold front of house/buffet solutions, as well as its commercial induction cooktops – extremely efficient and powerful for commercial kitchen operations.

Although hot holding equipment and refrigerated drop-in wells are must-have kitchen items within buffet setups, it’s also worth considering the likes of commercial toasters, waffle and crepe makers as they can also add to the variety and create an element of theatre when eating out.

Heated lamps are also an ideal addition to a buffet/open kitchen service as they are pivotal in preserving the heat, flavours and textures of meals awaiting their service. When opting for a heated lamp, it’s important to find one that can offer optimal performance and functionality. Hatco has the largest decorative lamp range available on the market that offers simplicity, efficiency, and great value for money.

Hatco UK stocks readily available products, with a two-year onsite warranty.
