Serving up comfort, innovation and heritage with the VarioCookingCenter.
Greater versatility and innovation.
“For banquet prep, we can get twice as much done with the VarioCookingCenter®,” Delby said. “It heats faster, recovers faster, and has two separate braising pans so you can multitask, utilizing your time in the best way possible.” He can also walk away, setting a unique ringtone on the VarioCookingCenter® to alert him when it’s time to return.
They use the ConnectedCooking app for overnight cooking, programming the start time so when they return in the morning the food is ready and waiting. They set the pasta basket to drop at a certain time, sending an alert when cooking is complete so they can return to sauce it up and serve.
He estimates the VarioCookingCenter® consumes roughly 30 percent less energy than traditional kitchen equipment: it replaces multiple appliances, powers down or goes into waiting mode while not in use, and uses less water than a steamer. He also praises the ease of cleaning that takes away the time, effort and caustic chemicals required in the past. “Any time you are wasting less and putting more product on the plate that can be sold, it’s going to bring back a better ROI for our ownership, and the VarioCookingCenter® is one tool that allows you to do that,” he said.
