The Ghost Kitchen Series: Velocity Pressure Fryer

By

Our Velocity Pressure Fryer was made to sustain the highest-volume bone-in chicken programs, making it easy for wing-concept ghost kitchens to sacrifice two feet of wall space for extreme productivity.

Our Velocity series cooks 8-heads of chicken with 25% less oil than other high-volume fryers and provides up to four times longer oil life.

Batch cooking is a breeze when you combine a Velocity with any of our holding cabinets – Henny Penny sheet pans can be secured by a lip on top of the fryer.

Two half racks are then placed on each sheet pan and slid into the holding cabinet, allowing workers to skip re-racking and reducing product handling.

While product is being transferred to hold, Velocity filters automatically between every single load. Learn more about the Velocity series here.

The Ghost Kitchen Series: Evolution Elite (Single Well)

By

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

Less is more with our single-well Evolution Elite, making it the ideal open fryer for any ghost kitchen. A smaller vat that requires 40% less oil means more ROI in the form of oil savings while maintaining the same throughput as a traditional 50 lb vat.

Employees won’t need to spend too much time taking care of the Evolution Elite – top-off-level sensors monitor the oil level and add fresh oil as needed, and Smart Touch Filtration alerts automatically with just one button-push required to activate a 4-minute filter cycle.

Models with two or more wells can filter one vat while cooking in another. Use a single-well fryer to prepare for the rush by pairing with SmartHold to cook in batches and hold for hours. Click here to learn more about the Evolution Elite open fryer.

The Ghost Kitchen Series: SmartHold Holding Cabinet

By

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

By

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)

By

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.
