Everidge Announces America’s First Ever R290 “Green” 4/5 Pan Commercial Blast Chiller

October 10, 2022 By Corey Meyers

Everidge, a leading innovator of commercial cold storage solutions, walk-in coolers and freezers, and cook-chill specialty solutions, announced a technological advancement in blast chilling with the introduction of America’s most environmentally responsible commercial blast chiller.

A first in the American foodservice industry, the patented and patent-pending, eco-friendly PBF 4.0. Blast Chiller and Shock Freezer is the only 4/5 pan undercounter commercial blast chiller in the U.S. to be “green” with no ozone depleting properties.

Powerful Performance in a Compact Design — At a Great Price.

This ground-breaking innovation utilizes an advanced environmentally friendly R290 propane refrigeration system. Packed with game-changing features and a revolutionary design, the PBF 4.0 has a patented modular self-contained, air-cooled refrigeration system, and is constructed entirely of 304 stainless steel.

Go Green. Save Green.

Choosing a blast chiller for your commercial kitchen operation can be a challenge. Different brands, sizes, and each offers a unique functionality. But now there is another factor to consider – what type of refrigerant is being used?

Most blast chillers on the market use R404, a refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 4,200. Used across the world in the past few decades, R290, a highly efficient form of propane, is now available in a blast chiller, exclusively through PrepRite by Everidge. But what really is the difference between R290 and other refrigerants, and what is the best choice for your business?

“We are incredibly proud to play our part in creating a more sustainable future and to be the first company in the country to offer such an innovative and eco-friendly product to our customers. We take deliberate, strategic steps to improve our product offering and believe this is a great innovation when our customers are seeking ways to lessen their impact on the environment.”

Chief Executive Officer, Everidge

Powerful performance in a compact design, the PBF 4.0 blast chills up to 40 lbs. of product from 1600F to 380F within two hours and shock freezes up to 20 lbs. of product from 1600F to 00F within four hours. PBF 4.0 performance exceeds HACCP/FDA Food Code guidelines and NSF 7. For more details about the PBF 4.0 Commercial Blast Chiller or product demonstration click here.

“This is the industry’s most environmentally friendly blast chiller and will help companies deliver on their corporate sustainability goals […] R290 is the refrigerant of the future, with a GWP or Global Warming Potential of just three versus all other blast chillers that utilize R404A refrigerant with a GWP of 3922. The tradeoff of R290 is it is rated for just 150grams in the U.S. and it can be challenging to field service. The PBF 4.0 overcomes these challenges, as 150grams is ideal for the popular undercounter 4/5 pan blast chiller category, and with its unique serviceability design, a user can drop in a replacement refrigeration cartridge in less than one hour.”

What is R290?

R290 is a propane refrigerant used in a wide variety of commercial refrigeration and air conditioning units. This non-toxic propane has a low GWP rating of 3 and no Ozone Depleting Properties (ODP). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named R290 as its preferred hydrocarbon alternative.

In addition to its low GWP and ODP, R290 is also highly efficient, which can lead to additional savings in energy costs.


Preprite by Everidge is constantly evolving with its continuous improvement philosophy by offering cold storage solutions uniquely designed to help customers stay successful and profitable during an unprecedented global health crisis while they face the challenges of today’s volatile business environment. Everidge has a rich history of innovation, making premier walk-in coolers and freezers since 1939, and has been a family-owned business for more than 30 years.

October 7, 2022 By Corey Meyers

chicken trends

As the chicken craze continues, we’ve got the tips on how to keep your customers coming back for more. Dive into Henny Penny’s latest blog post, “2022 Chicken Trends: 3 Tips to Keep Customers Coming Back.” Discover what Chef Gregg believes to be the hottest trends and insights in the world of poultry.

From innovative menu ideas to the art of perfecting your fried chicken recipe, we’re serving up strategies that will help your restaurant thrive. Don’t miss out on what’s sizzling this year—read their blog for the ultimate tips to satisfy your chicken-loving audience.


Versatility:

Embracing a whole-bird strategy is suggested, allowing operators to negotiate with suppliers. They an also mitigate increased costs for premium chicken cuts, such as breasts and wings. Chicken thighs, a cost-effective and flavorful option, are anticipated to shine in 2022. They have been making their way onto quick-service restaurant menus alongside traditional chicken-only chains.

Innovation:

The chicken industry witnessed the “chicken sandwich wars” from 2019 through 2021, resulting in a surge of new chicken offerings on menus across the foodservice industry. Many operators are introducing plant-based alternatives, such as sandwiches, nuggets, and faux “chicken” buckets. 2022 will also see a focus on unique flavors, with international influences like Asian, Caribbean, and Mediterranean-inspired flavors making headlines. Additionally, alternative protein sources, including lab-grown meat or cultured meat, are gaining momentum – although regulatory approval is pending.

Consistency:

Consistency is key when it comes to customer satisfaction and a favorable bottom line. The fry must consistently deliver the perfect chicken—juicy inside, crispy outside, hot, and fresh. Henny Penny equipment is great at this. Consider the 4-Head Pressure Fryer, FlexFusion Platinum Series Combi Oven, Velocity Series Pressure Fryer, and SmartHold Humidified Holding Cabinet.

3 Ways Our Henny Penny Fryers Maintain Food Quality

October 7, 2022 By Corey Meyers

In the fast-paced world of commercial kitchens, maintaining top-notch food quality is crucial. Henny Penny’s blog, “3 Ways Commercial Fryers Help Restaurants Maintain Food Quality,” outlines three key ways in which commercial fryers play a vital role in achieving this goal.

Precise Temperature Control:

Evolution Elite

Commercial fryers are masters of temperature precision. They ensure that oil remains at the perfect temperature, guaranteeing consistent cooking results. This accuracy means your fried foods come out crispy and golden every time, delighting customers with their taste and appearance.


Fast Recovery Time:

When the kitchen gets busy, every second counts. Commercial fryers boast rapid recovery times, swiftly returning the oil to the desired cooking temperature after food is submerged. This quick turnaround ensures that your dishes are cooked evenly and retain their delicious flavors, even during the busiest rushes.


Oil Filtration and Management:

Depending on what type of cooking oil you purchase, a JIB will now run you as much as four times what you paid in 2019. So, today you’ll pay between $40 and $100 for a JIB of cooking oil and that’s wholesale pricing.

High-quality fryers take oil management seriously. They come equipped with features like automatic filtration, which extends the life of the cooking oil and reduces waste. By efficiently removing debris and maintaining oil quality, these fryers contribute to consistent food taste and texture while also saving costs. This free Filter Frequency Calculator will help you determine the ideal filtration frequency for your restaurant. Additionally, Henny Penny’s Prime Cleaner product is a game-changer when it comes to extending your oil life.

Why Your Commercial Kitchen Needs A Pressure Fryer And Heated Holding Cabinet

October 5, 2022 By Corey Meyers

Well, pressure fryers excel in locking in moisture and flavor of fried chicken, making them an essential piece for any high-volume kitchen.

Less Staff, More Efficiency

Boost Throughput, Reduce Waste

Batch cooking isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about smart management. It helps increase throughput, especially important when balancing dine-in and delivery orders. Plus, it significantly reduces food waste – a crucial factor in today’s eco-conscious world.

Pressure Fryers and Holding Cabinets; A Perfect Match

At Henny Penny, pressure fryers and holding cabinets are designed to work seamlessly together. This integration means better food quality, increased safety, and a smoother process for your staff. Incorporating a pressure fryer and heated holding cabinet into your commercial kitchen is more than an upgrade – it’s a strategic move towards operational excellence. Want to dive deeper?
