A convection oven equipped with steam is referred to as a “combi” oven in the foodservice industry. The reason these ovens are called combi ovens is that they bake with a mix of the hot, dry air of an oven and the wet heat of a steamer. Combi ovens can cook with ambient air (as an ordinary convection oven does), with injected steam, or with a combination of both. A combi oven is an oven with three functions: convection, steam, and combination cooking. In the convection mode, the oven circulates dry heat with a convection fan. The circulated air will cook products 25% faster than a conventional oven. The steam mode injects water into the oven to poach fish, rice, and vegetables, keeping your food moist as it cooks. Combi ovens offer the ability to regulate humidity along an impressively wide temperature range.
Cleaning your commercial charbroiler each and every day it is used will increase the lifetime of your equipment: Before you start, remember to put on cleaning gloves to protect your hands from grease and harsh chemicals. After you turn off the charbroiler, while the broiler is still warm, use a wire cleaning brush designed for charbroilers to scrape off stuck-on food particles and grease from the grate. After you clean the top of the grates with the brush, turn them over and repeat the process, brushing off the grease and caked on food particles.
There have been many stories circulated on how the shot glass earned its name. The fact is, nobody is certain about the exact origins of the American shot glass, but there have been many different speculations, all quite fascinating: One such speculation takes place in the American Old West, where a bullet for a cowboy’s six-gun cost 12 cents, and so did a glass of whiskey. If the cowboy was short on cash he would give the bartender a bullet from his gun in exchange for a glass of whiskey, and this became known as a “shot” or “shot glass” of whiskey.
The ability to quickly toast your sandwiches or wraps without needing a massive grill is an invaluable one, and allows you to increase the variety of your menu items without a ton of extra cost.

Commercial panini presses come with either flat or grooved plates to ensure your needs are met.

Choose a customer base.

Having one audience in mind makes this a much easier task.
July 27th is National Scotch Day. If I didn't have bills to pay, I would celebrate National Scotch Day at that place where "everybody knows my name." To be honest, I will still probably celebrate National Scotch day at that place where "everybody knows my name", the celebration will just have to wait until after work. Let's talk about scotch for a moment. The most important thing to understand is that all scotch is whiskey, but not all whiskey is scotch. The drink that combines the two, the aptly named scotch whiskey, is made only in Scotland and must be aged in oak barrels for at least three years.
During the summer months, your customers' demand for products with ice goes up, while at the same time your ice machine’s performance slows down. This poor performance from your ice machine is usually caused by either poor maintenance routines, heat, or both. The warmer the air temperature, the harder your ice machine must work to produce ice. The neglecting of maintenance routines and built-up scale and contaminant deposits cause your ice machine to work even harder. A combination of the two can lead to your ice machine completely failing.
A FOB detector is designed to keep your lines filled with beer. The FOB detects an empty keg and shuts down the beer flow. What this does is eliminate the foam you get from an empty keg. It also eliminates the need to refill lines with beer and purge air from the system. Without a FOB installed on your beer line, when your keg goes empty, your tap starts spitting and spraying foam.
