And if you aren't certain how much beer you'll need for your party, just check the Rapids Keg-o-Meter to get a reasonable estimate. You can assume that most people will drink 2 glasses of beer in the first hour and 1 glass of beer each subsequent hour.
If you are experiencing leaks from your keg coupler, or it's difficult to engage or disengage the the tavern head from the keg, the problem may be a bent keg lug (keg ear). If the keg ear tabs are bent, the connection between the keg and tap leaks. Even if the keg does not leak, the bent lug causes the coupler to stick making it difficult to remove and a hassle when it comes to line cleaning time.
Global warming is a very real phenomenon that has already been shown to have serious consequences, including polar ice melting, natural habit and precipitation pattern disruption, and a global temperature increase. The United States, in an effort to reduce the amount of hazardous emissions released into the atmosphere, has started taking steps to transform the way many industries design their products. One such industry is refrigeration manufacturing. Beginning in the spring of 2017, refrigeration manufacturers will need to comply with EPA-mandated energy efficiency standards that will, depending on the type of refrigeration, require an energy-level reduction of up to 50%. In order to meet this goal, companies like True Manufacturing are coming up with a number of solutions, including the hydrocarbon refrigerant.
Since 2006, the number of women-owned restaurants has increased by 40%, compared to a 12% growth in overall restaurant business during that same period. In other words, restaurants owned by women grew at a rate three-times faster than the industry as a whole. The restaurant industry is a place where women have a relatively clear path to success. Inspirational stories abound of women starting at the bottom and moving quickly into management and ownership positions.
For as little as 29-1/4"W x 20-1/16" D in counter space, your convenience store, deli, food truck, or outdoor event can offer fresh-roasted rotisserie chickens to your customers. A Vollrath Countertop Rotisserie Oven/Merchandiser cooks and displays your food in a compact unit.
Take some of the hassle out of maintaining your commercial refrigeration products with Turbo Air. Turbo Air’s new refrigeration line(including reach-ins, undercounter units, prep tables, worktop units, chef bases,and more) now includes a self-cleaning condenser that takes convenience to a whole new level. Condensers normally are cleaned only twice a year, and a lot
of debris can build up over that time, reducing the efficiency of your condenser and possibly even causing your commercial refrigerator to break down. The self-cleaning condenser system works to prevent this strain on both your condenser and your budget by cleaning the condenser 2-3 times a day. It operates by using a rotating brush designed to move along the condenser coils automatically, which will remove any dust and other debris that has accumulated.
The first refrigeration systems simply used ice to keep their contents at the proper temperature. Nowadays, an elaborate system involving a condenser, compressor, evaporator, and other parts is used to keep your food cool. While this new system usually involves less effort on our part, certain preventative maintenance is required to ensure your commercial refrigerator is as efficient as possible for as long as possible. One part of this maintenance involves cleaning your condenser coils at least twice a year to remove hair and dust buildup. The condenser is designed to collect and release heat from inside the fridge; when dust and other debris build up on its surface, it is unable to release heat as efficiently, which can cause problems for your refrigerator. Thankfully, cleaning these coils is a fairly simple process.
Whether it’s seasoned curly fries with a hamburger
dinner or cheese curds to snack on over a beer with friends, fried foods
have been shown time and again to be a perfect addition to any meal. If you are
in the food service industry, having fried foods on your menu is a great way to
increase your profits and keep your customers wanting more. As summer ends, state fairs and other festivals are also coming to a close, meaning your customers are going to be missing some of their favorite fair foods. Fill that void and try something new with your deep fat fryer using inspiration from some of the Iowa State Fair’s most beloved concoctions.
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.
