Catering equipment: FRIMA is cooking up a sustainable future at Hotelympia 2012

FRIMA Stand N1115 at Hotelympia, ExCel 26th February to 1st March 2012

FRIMA’s new multi-functional VarioCooking Center® multificiency® is not only a highly innovative piece of cooking equipment, allowing chefs to work ergonomically, efficiently and safely, but it is also designed for sustainability taking into account of the use of resources during manufacture, during operation and once it has reached the end of its service life.

The VarioCooking Center can replace up to three conventional cooking appliances as it combines all the functions of a fryer, griddle, bratt pan, kettle, titling pan and pressure cooker in one unit. This means that 40% less steel is used during manufacture, 50% less packaging is required and the CO2 emissions during transportation are reduced by 50%.

As fewer appliances are needed this saves up to 30% kitchen space and means that a much smaller extractor system is needed. The energy efficiency of the design, with the VarioBoost® heating system, reduces power consumption by up to 40%. The pan is heated from 0°C to 200°C in just 90 seconds, searing meat fast, sealing in the juices resulting in a reduction of up to 20% in raw ingredients used. The precise cooking control prevents food burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan so less water and chemicals are used in cleaning.

The VarioCooking Center multificiency has been manufactured for easy disposal and recovery of recyclable materials. About 98% of the materials used in the VarioCooking Center are recyclable.
