The Ghost Kitchen Series: Space$aver Team Combi

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 Space$aver Team Combi can help with each of these factors while also making life easier for both operators and their staff.

Flexibility On Demand with Space$aver Team Combi

The Space$aver Team Combi offers maximum cooking flexibility with the highest efficiency in the most limited kitchen spaces. Grills, convection ovens, and steamers – three individually purchased pieces of equipment – can be replaced with a Space$aver Team Combi.

An integrated hood saves dedicated ventilation space for frying and other cooking equipment. The control panel consists of an individual, touch screen control system for each oven. Chef’s Touch technology works like a smart phone – just tap the app for everything from cook-and-hold to cleaning and troubleshooting.

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

By

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

In today’s fast-paced culinary world, especially with the rise of delivery and take-out services, maintaining the consistency and quality of food is a challenge. This is where heated holding cabinets become a game-changer. Henny Penny’s “Buying Time with Holding Cabinets” blog is summarized below.

Maximizing Kitchen Efficiency

Heated holding cabinets are not just about keeping food warm; they are about creating extra operational time in your kitchen. This additional time means foods can be held at acceptable quality for longer, enhancing the utilization of equipment and improving process efficiency.

Strategic Cooking and Time Management

With these cabinets, you can adopt a “cooking to hold” approach. This allows for cooking well ahead of the mealtime rush, leading to more efficient production. It often eliminates the need for additional cooking equipment and accessories, and you can also reduce energy costs by cooking during off-peak hours. This efficiency frees up employees to focus on service, ensuring more orders can be taken and served during peak times.

Higher Volume and Reduced Waste

Cooking in higher volumes is more manageable with heated holding cabinets. Operators can better utilize existing cooking equipment by cooking full loads rather than partial ones. This approach not only saves money but also reduces product waste. Properly integrated holding capabilities preserve cooked food safely for significantly longer periods than traditional methods. This allows you to sell more and discard less.

Enhanced Menu Production

Using holding cabinets for a variety of foods over different time spans aids in planning your cooking sequence for optimal equipment, labor, and time utilization. This method enhances menu production, making it more efficient and diverse.

Cutting-Edge Holding Solutions

Recognizing the importance of extended holding times, Henny Penny has developed advanced SmartHold cabinets, designed to keep food fresh up to twice as long. These solutions are pivotal for modern, efficient kitchen operations.

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.”

Cut Your Fryer Oil Use In Half With Henny Penny Prime Filter Powder

By

What is Prime Filter Powder?

 

Prime Filter Powder is a safe, pure white compound that extends frying oil life. The powder reduces the frequency of oil purchases by as much as 50%! It does this by removing both solids and dissolved impurities from used oil, meeting the food-grade specifications set forth by the FDA, NSF and the JECFA of the WHO.

How does it work?

 

  • When circulating frying oil with Prime Filter Powder during a polish filter, the powder particles are activated. It acts like a magnet that attracts and removes food debris, and extracts soluble liquid impurities, dissolved tastes and odors that spoil fried food.
  • By attaching these impurities together, the compounds become too large to pass through the fryer filter and cannot return to the fry vat with the clean oil.
  • The powder clumps on top of the filter paper/pad, the clean oil passes through the normal filtering process and is returned to the vat for use.

What can Prime do for you?

Savings you can see!

Reducing total polar materials.

Total Polar Materials (TPMs) are a chemical measure of oil degradation. They have been correlated to the taste and odor of fried foods and many government bodies have enacted regulations limiting the amount of TPMs in cooking oil. Prime Filter Powder attacks the molecular bonds that form to create TPMs which in turn reduces the TPM values in oil.

Enemies of oil.

  • Heat
  • Air (Oxygen)
  • Moisture
  • Metals (Trace)
  • Soaps (Cleaning Agents)
