Restaurant Daily News 4 3 Sunday, May 19, 2019 Panasonic NE-3280 Commercial Microwave Sonic Steamer Oven As the nutritional benefits of steaming are becoming more widely known, the Sonic Steamer has become a popular choice in an ever-growing list of chan- nels, from educational institutions, to full-service restaurants and stadiums. Designed for high-efficiency steam- ing in foodservice businesses big and small, the Panasonic NE-3280 Commercial Microwave Sonic Steamer Oven combines high-volume cooking capability with every kitchen's need for speed. High-Power Cooking Reliably quick, efficient and economical to operate, Panasonic's 3200 Watt Sonic Steamer Oven uses the power of microwave energy to heat the water con- tent in vegetables, fish and seafood, meats, breads and other foods to the boil- ing point to produce steam, and preserve the natural flavors and nutrients cus- tomers want and expect in their meals. Fast and Faster Panasonic's innovative top and bottom energy feed design uses four separate magnetron heating elements to fuel the Sonic Steamer's incredible cooking speed and its even-heating abilities. The Panasonic Sonic Steamer Oven is one of few in its category that can com- fortably handle two full-size, 4-inch deep steam table pans with covers, four half- pans or four 12-inch plates, at the same time. The Result? Hot, fresh lasagna in under 20 minutes; a 1-1/4 pound lobster in under 2 minutes (55 in an hour); a pound of shrimp in a minute (60 pounds in an hour) and faster steamed vegetables like a pound of asparagus in 40 seconds (100 pounds per hour); a pound of potatoes in just two minutes (30 pounds per hour); a pound of meatballs in 90 seconds (30 pounds per hour); and a dozen hot dogs in 30 seconds (104 dozen in an hour). No Hassle Setup and Energy Efficient Unlike traditional steamers, the microwave Panasonic NE-3280 doesn't require extra filters, a vent hood or the plumbing hassle and expense of a dedi- cated water line (eliminating both de- liming and having to replace gaskets). There's no recovery time and less load is placed on air conditioning and refrigera- tion systems so they help an operation's overall energy efficiency. A Touch of Simplicity The NE-3280 Commercial Microwave Sonic Steamer Oven keeps things mov- ing with features like eight programma- ble heating touch pads, five power levels and three cooking stages for timesaving, two-touch operation. Just select a program, then start. The eight touchpads can be customized for 16-mem- ory capability, simple and ideal for preparing repetitive key items, as well as two- and three-stage cooking to Defrost for one stage, cook at High power for the second stage, then Low power for the last stage with the single touch of a pad. Manual single- stage heating sets the oven to desired times and power levels for menus that require variation in heating require- ments. Low Maintenance Ease With the Panasonic NE-3280 Sonic Steamer Oven, low, everyday mainte- nance consists of cleaning two remov- able air filters, and wiping down the oven's removable center shelf and the stainless cabinet and cavity surfaces.

Royal Industries Promotes Partnerships Royal Industries, Inc., an innovative leader in the foodservice industry, found- ed over 75 years ago and located in Chicago, Illinois, serves a nationwide market both as furniture manufacturers and as direct importers of commercial foodservice smallware, s/s worktables and hand sinks, janitorial, baking and pizza products for the restaurant, hospi- tality, janitorial, mass feeding and institu- tional industries. The company works with authorized dealers and resellers rather than offering products to end users. This partnership modality makes the company unique and very successful. It continues to redefine the role of vendor in order to better sup- port authorized dealer partners within their unique programs and their various marketing service opportunities. Stavros Moraitis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, notes that the com- pany's consistency in being seen as a sta- ple in the E&S industry is an accomplish- ment that brings tremendous pride. Its innovative partnership program is unique to the industry. Being a true value-added partner to customers is a major facet of the company. Moraitis emphasizes that companies need to be able to resolve daily problems quickly. Being partners allows this to be more effectively accom- plished. This year, the company is focusing on providing new services such as marketing sup- port, new drop ship programs, and bid and quote support. All of these will allow its dealers (partners) to be more time-effective and concentrate on growing sales. The com- pany also offers flyer and promotional materials – anything partners need to sell or market their company or individual brands. The company is focused on qual- ity, not only in its furniture but also in its ability to provide sales collateral materi- als to partners to help them brand their companies while selling Royal Industries products. The foodservice industry consists of three categories: Good, Better, Best. Royal Industries com- petes as a Better (or sec- ond category) company. This means it offers bet- ter quality products at a good level – that is, its price is very competitive for a slightly better product. If the needed product isn't from the Royal Industries product line, the compa- ny will search and provide what is needed – even to the extent that if/when a com- petitor has what a Royal Industries' dealer needs, the company will still source it for them because as Moraitis emphasizes, "we are partners, not vendors."
