Electric alternatives take leaps in improvement

“Cooking methods can have a significant impact on the finish of a final dish, so it’s no surprise that ovens, grills, and barbeques are the subject of constant innovation. On the grill front in particular, gas models have long been favoured for their power and signature finish – however, recent developments have seen electric alternatives take leaps in improvement.

For example, Heidebrenner Lava Rock Electric Grills, available through Exclusive Ranges, heralds a turning point when it comes to electric grills. Utilising state-of-the-art natural resources to heat food, Heidebrenner provides an attractive solution for environmentally conscious operators that don’t want to compromise on quality. This is achieved through electric-powered heating plates that heat the lava rocks, and in turn, quickly and evenly emits heat to food.

Beyond market innovations, ensuring kit is fit for purpose should be top of priority list for operators looking to upgrade appliances. Conventional commercial grills are typically fairly limited in terms of flexibility and control, but opting for an electric version can offer chefs much more versatility. Heidebrenner’s lava rock grills can be separated into 400mm sections, meaning different foods can be grilled at optimal temperatures. On one section, delicate items such as fish and vegetables can be gently cooked at a lower temperature, while on another section thick cuts of meat can be seared at a much higher temperature.

Size is another key consideration when it comes to equipment procurement. In smaller kitchens where space is at a premium, hight-quality heavy-duty equipment can be a challenge to accommodate. With this in mind, Heidebrenner’s lava rock grills range from 400-1600mm in width, able to meet physical and technological demands of kitchens of all sizes through Exclusive Ranges.”
