Vollrath Next Generation Induction Cooking

 

Vollrath brings the power of award-winning induction technology to Next Generation ranges and cooking solutions.

 

Vollrath is known for staying on top of industry developments and providing new equipment innovations, solutions, and opportunities to foodservice professionals. As the industry moves toward electrification in commercial kitchens to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in foodservice operations, Vollrath brings solutions with innovative induction equipment that brings the heat without the gas. Not only are induction ranges good for the environment and sustainability, but they also provide several advantages for foodservice operations from restaurants to college campuses.

 

 

Here are just four key factors behind electrification and induction cooking:

 

Improved Working and Dining Experience

Taking heat out of the kitchen creates a cooler environment, and the air quality is much better for your team and customers.

 

Increased Safety

The heat transfers directly to the pan, removing safety risks related to burns and fires.

 

Versatility

Bring the food to the customers. Induction ranges make setting up cooking stations in various locations much easier. You can also save space in your kitchen and easily add new induction cooking stations as needed.

 

Energy Efficiency

Induction ranges deliver 85% to 95% of their energy directly to the food. In comparison, a gas range delivers 35% to 40% of the energy used for food, and an electric range delivers 45% to 50%. Operators can realize a 60% savings in energy consumption, reducing utility costs and contributing to sustainability initiatives.

 

Vollrath’s line of induction products provides a promise to chefs and restaurant owners: It’s called Engineered with Exactitude, and it means remaining committed to delivering more power, efficiency, precision, and safety in the kitchen and beyond. Vollrath takes induction technology to the next level with intelligent control and design that’s as sleek as it is durable, and its product line is extensive.

 

Here are some Vollrath Induction Ranges worth checking out:

 

The newest technology, the 4-series models, HPI4 and MPI4, have very cool new features that allow end-users to cook more like gas, but with all the benefits of induction cooking. Because Vollrath engineers and manufactures its induction units, they can offer unique features that aren’t available on other units. Exclusive features on the HPI4 AND MPI4 include the following.

 

            No power cycling, which offers precise and steady heat, even at low temperatures. Many competitive units power on and off or pulse heat to hold a temperature with a wide range of variability.

            Expanded magnetic field that allows operators to lift and tilt the pan without breaking the connection and heating to the pan. This feature gives operators the feel of gas cooking.

            Extreme power that heats up and boils quickly in power level mode.

            Temperature control is precise, especially with the included temperature probe.
