Restaurant Daily News Saturday, May 18, 2019 4 6 Bar Maid: Innovative, Problem-Solving Products Bar Maid Corporation first developed the 5-brush electric glass washer in the 1960s and is now the No. 1 manufacturer of electric glass washers in the world. When you have a really great prod- uct, competitors try to imitate. Low-cost imports recently became available, but these may lack safety features and certi- fications. "Without UL/CSA and NSF testing and approval, can you really be sure the glass washer is reliably safe and worth the liability risk?" says George Shepherd, President of Bar Maid. Shepherd warns not to be influenced by the CE mark, which is often the only mark found on imported products. CE is not valid in the USA or Canada. It is often "self-declared" with no testing, and may not be recognized by insurance com- panies, health departments or other agen- cies in the United States. Bar Maid Electric Glass Washers offer unmatched quality, performance and safety. The A Series Upright Glass Washer and SS Series Submersible Glass Washer feature heavy duty, durable con- struction that is built tough for use in even the busiest, most demanding bars and restaurants. Both models are used by many of America's largest chains. Factors that set Bar Maid Electric Glass Washers above the competition: exclusive new two-year warranty (regis- tration required for year two); electrical safety testing and certification to UL and CSA required by OSHA and most health departments; sanitation testing and certi- fication to NSF standards required by health departments; "Bi-Bristle" brushes perform significantly better and far out- last import brands, with a large variety of accessory brushes for cleaning virtually any size of glass; Made in USA and known for reliability for nearly 60 years. Bar Maid customers asked for a super power, quiet operation blender and the BLE-300 3HP Heavy Duty Blender delivers. With simple Hi/Low On/Off controls and a virtually unbreak- able BPA-free 64 ounce Eastman Tritan ® Copolyester container, this blender has the power and versatility professionals need behind the bar and in the commer- cial kitchen. Bar Maid's top-selling GP-100 Glass Polisher is fast and efficient, at least five times faster than hand polishing, easily paying for itself with huge labor savings and more sanitary than using a bar rag. But the number one reason customers say they are buying it is safety. With the GP- 100 there's virtually no glass breakage or associated injuries, reducing glassware expenses and potential workers compen- sation claims. While the GP-100 is key to sparkling glass- ware, the new CP-7000 Cutlery Polisher quickly turns wet, clean cutlery into dry, spot-free, sparkling cutlery. Water- spotted cutlery can make patrons ques- tion its cleanliness. The CP-7000 can polish up to 7,000 pieces per hour, removing water spots and eliminating unsanitary hand polishing. "The glass polisher and cutlery pol- isher are the perfect polishing partners," said Shepherd. "Busy restaurants, hotels and banquet providers are going to love the time-saving efficiency and sparkling results." Have a lower volume of glasses to polish? The hand-held GP-1M Glass Polishing Wand has a soft, lint-free cloth sleeve covering its flexible rubber tip and conforms to the shape of glassware. It is perfectly shaped to polish inside tall champagne glasses. Blendtec: Quality Can't Be Outsourced What does it mean to be an American company?

Introducing The Perfect 10 Spatula By Brittany Clevenger, Editor, Franklin Machine Products Backed by 100 years of innovation, our team at Franklin Machine Products con- tinues to seek out new, solution-based products in the foodservice industry. This year, we showcase one of our most popu- lar products of the year, The Perfect 10 Spatula™. The Perfect 10 is one of those magi- cal problem-solving products on the mar- ket. It's designed to reduce labor, save time and money, and preserve as much product as possible, all at an affordable price. Foodservice workers and restaurant owners alike know that time is vital in a business that's all about food. Timing alone can often overshadow the reputa- tion of a great dish and food preparation is a frequent culprit. Adding The Perfect 10 Spatula to your food preparation routine is the only way to go. With its patented flexi- ble, curved-blade edges, this product sets itself apart from a traditional flat spatula. With a traditional spatula or scraping tool, scooping the product out, then scraping the inside of the can will eventually yield all of your product. With the Perfect 10, its edges do most of the work by grabbing thick and viscous product, such as sauces, pastes, puddings and pie fill- ings with one turn of its ergonomically designed han- dle. In record time (an average of 10 seconds, versus over 20 seconds with a traditional spatula), you will have an empty #10 can and more time to prepare for the rest of the day's service.

CHEFTOP MIND.Maps PLUS: Intelligent Cooking, Guaranteed Results The CHEFTOP MIND.Maps™ PLUS ovens are the culmination of Unox's years of research and experience of working alongside the most demanding chefs as they take on the daily challenge of making their creative ideas a reality. They are designed to be easy to use and to guarantee top performance in all work- ing conditions. The ovens use the latest smart technologies to give real support in your work and to adapt to any kitchen, guaranteeing high performance and repeatable results regardless of the load. Achieving identical results for each load requires control, intelligence and expert- ise. Every detail counts: what happens before and during cooking, the various load quantities, food whose properties vary with the seasons and the unique manual techniques of each member of your team. For example? Cooking mul- tiple trays requires more time than for just one or two: the door remains open for longer and the consequent drop in temperature is greater. The oven must begin cooking at a lower temperature and cook a higher quantity of food, for which more time is required to achieve the correct working conditions. In addi- tion, the humidity emitted by the fully- loaded oven is greater than a partial load, and if the door is opened unexpectedly, it significantly alters all the parameters of the cooking process. Achieving repeatable results requires continual supervision, monitoring of every detail and immediate intervention. In a few words: control, intelligence and expert- ise. That's exactly what CHEFTOP MIND.Maps PLUS oven with ADAP- TIVE.Cooking™ provides. Thanks to the ADAP- TIVE.Cooking technology, your oven is transformed into an intelligent tool capable of interpreting your settings and understanding your desired result. Through its sensors and intelligence, your CHEFTOP MIND.Maps PLUS registers changes in humidity and temperature. It effectively understands the quantity of food inserted into the oven to then auto- matically regulate the cooking process by acting on all the parameters and modulating the combined action of the INTENSIVE.Cooking™ technologies, guaranteeing you an identical and per- fect result every time. Exactly as you imagined.
