The Ghost Kitchen Series: SmartHold Holding Cabinet

January 4, 2021 By Corey meyers Leave a Comment

In this series, we will highlight our top 4 best solutions for ghost kitchens.

In 2019, ghost kitchens (also referred to as dark kitchens and virtual kitchens) were simply an emerging trend to watch out for. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of these delivery-only kitchens in a big way. Just 15% of restaurant operators were using ghost kitchens before the pandemic, by May that number had risen to 51% (Technomic, 2020). The demand for off-premise dining options skyrocketed, creating an opportunity for operators to invest in ghost kitchens and even virtual brands.

The average ghost kitchen is only a few hundred square feet, meaning available space must be optimized and designed to operate with minimum labor. Luckily, the SmartHold Holding Cabinet can help with each of these factors while also making life easier for both operators and their staff.

Our SmartHold Holding Cabinet is just over two feet wide and can be configured half-sized to fit under a countertop or stacked to manage cooking in large batches. Precise humidity control sets SmartHold apart by creating the ideal holding environment for any food and keeping it fresh for hours instead of minutes. This holding cabinet also has proofing capabilities, saving operators the expense and floorspace of a separate proofing cabinet.

With SmartHold, ghost kitchens can also keep labor down by cooking and holding products before peak periods of high demand. We’ve got a couple of blog suggestions for anyone wanting more on SmartHold – learn more about optimal SmartHold settings for common menu items or discover more on how SmartHold brings value to any kitchen.

Clean and Protect Your Equipment with Henny Penny Prime Cleaner

October 14, 2020 By Corey meyers Leave a Comment

What Is Henny Penny Prime Cleaner?

Prime Cleaner is the ideal way to keep your fryers and fry baskets clean and protected. This noncaustic fryer cleaner and multipurpose degreaser easily removes fats, calcium, oils, carbon, rust and burned-on grease — leaving your equipment looking nearly new after just one application.


Why Use A Product Like Prime Cleaner?

The quality of your food depends on the quality of your oil. If clean oil is poured into a frypot with lingering residue, the integrity of the oil is immediately compromised. Carbon buildup also forces the fryer to use more energy to properly heat the oil, reducing efficiency. By using Prime Cleaner, you can help preserve and extend the life of your oil while also maintaining the delicious flavor of prepared foods and running the fryer at optimal efficiency.


What Makes Prime Cleaner The Best Choice?

Prime Cleaner features a powerful cleaning formula that:

  • Removes difficult zero trans-fat oils, grease and even black metal marks
  • Reduces the need for heavy scrubbing
  • Allows for overnight soaking and heat-on clean-out options

Prime Cleaner is a safer choice compared to other alternatives, with:

  • No vinegar neutralizing rinse required after use, saving time and labor
  • Non-hazmat shipping that helps keep shipping costs low

Prime Cleaner is available in a convenient pack size:

  • Single-use packets, preventing over- or under-use of the product
  • 24 packets in each case to help avoid inventory overload

Results You Need To See To Believe

Prime Cleaner is a safer choice compared to other alternatives on the market today. There’s no neutralizing rinse required after use and it’s approved for convenient non-hazmat shipping.

Oil quality and filtration are two of the most important considerations for any operation. That’s why Henny Penny is proud to offer Prime Cleaner, the ideal way to keep fryers clean while promoting optimal oil quality. And with Henny Penny’s lineup of oil filtration aid products, operators can prolong oil life by as much as 50% — all while improving the quality of fried foods.

Henny Penny Holding Cabinets Can Save Your Bacon (In More Ways Than One)

July 16, 2020 By Corey meyers Leave a Comment

With the rising demand for delivery and take-out, our holding solutions can help you improve the efficiency of your kitchen and give you the flexibility to serve your customers quickly and effectively.

Restaurants, deli’s, and other retail foodservice operations put a great deal of effort into making great food. Yet without some means to preserve fresh product for a reasonable amount of time, the effort—along with a significant portion of food—is wasted. This is more important than ever with the rising demand for delivery and take-out.

UP TO 2X LONGER HOLD TIMES

Heated holding cabinets are traditionally used to keep extra quantities of food hot and tasty. But what holding cabinets REALLY do is produce extra time in the operation of your kitchen. This extra time—a function of how long foods can be held at acceptable quality— can be used in many ways. You can increase equipment utilization and improve your overall efficiency. Depending on the type of food and the quality of your holding equipment, the productivity potential can be significant.

WHAT CAN MORE TIME DO?

“Buying” extra operations time with heated holding cabinets allows you to cook well before the mealtime rush, cook in higher volume, reduce product handling and waste, and efficient menu production. These are just a few examples of how heated holding can extend beyond simply keeping something warm until you need it. In every case, the benefits grow with the length of time that food can be acceptably held – that’s why Henny Penny developed their line of SmartHold cabinets to keep food fresh for up to 2x longer than the average cabinet.


THE SCIENCE BEHIND HOLDING

—It’s harder than it looks, but we make it easy.

Reliable holding equipment preserves quality, keeps food ready to serve, and allows employees to prepare for peak hours while offering additional benefits (click here to read our blog about how kitchens can “buy” extra operations time with heated holding solutions). Getting the most out of your holding equipment is easier said than done, which is why it is important to understand the science behind it.

SMARTHOLD PROOFING & HOLDING

The following chart shows optimal SmartHold cabinet settings for common menu items. In general, settings for a particular item can be applied to similar menu items not shown here. Keep in mind that some foods are more durable than others. When holding a variety of items at the same time, choose temperature and humidity settings closer to those suggested for the more sensitive foods or midway between foods with similar durability.

Food temperatures must remain above the minimum required safe holding temperatures. The USA minimum is 140°F (60°C). If the cabinet door(s) is opened frequently, temperature should be set slightly above the minimum required safe holding temperature.

Based on Henny Penny HHC 900 and SmartHold holding cabinets. Results will vary for other manufacturers.

Henny Penny Receives 2019 Kitchen Innovations Award

July 2, 2019 By Corey meyers

Henny Penny has received a 2019 Kitchen Innovations (KI) Award from the National Restaurant Association for its Space$aver Team combi.

Unique in the U.S. market, the Space$aver Team combi combines two stacked, independently operated combis in a single frame and shell, with a single power cord and all the serviceable components centralized below. The 22”- wide footprint is topped with an integrated ventless hood using four-stage filtration for grease and vapors requiring no catalytic converter.

The Space$aver Team combi offers the versatility of two separate cabinets with independent, easy-to-use control systems in one integrated platform. Less than 22 inches wide with an integrated hood, the unit can be installed anywhere in the kitchen, and a jointless, one-piece construction makes it easier to install and maintain, unlike traditional stacked units.

The Space$aver Team combi, features a powerful four-stage filtration system to extract smoke, fat and odors — ensuring operators can cook different items simultaneously, without flavor transfer.

“Henny Penny understands operators and is committed to designing products that offer them greater flexibility, consistency and simplicity,” said Ares Marasligiller, Director of Product Strategy at Henny Penny. “Receiving this award speaks to how we are equipping kitchens to efficiently handle back-of-house challenges while addressing the long-term needs of the foodservice industry.”

The KI Awards honor forward-thinking equipment and technologies that increase efficiencies and productivity for back-of-the-house operations. Henny Penny’s recognized product will be on display in booth #4023, as well as the Kitchen Innovations Pavilion, at the 2019 National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show held May 18-21 in Chicago.
