Restaurant Daily News Sunday, May 19, 2019 5 4 Pitco's Integrated Oil Management System There are three distinct features to Pitco's Integrated Oil Management System: ROV Fryers with Auto Filtration, the SOS Smart Oil Sensor and the Infinity Touch 7-inch touchscreen controller. Reduced Oil Volume (ROV) fryer models not only are built with the Solstice Supreme burner technology that is unmatched in today's market, these models are designed with a more shallow fry area reducing the "cold zone." This allows the fryer to achieve the same pro- duction with 30 percent less oil. ROV fryers also feature an auto filtration func- tion which will drain, filter and refill fill the tank without the need for any staff member to come into contact with the hot oil. Not only that, but ROV Fryers have a built-in sensor to monitor oil levels and can trigger an Auto Top-Off function that ensures the correct amount of oil is in the fryers at all time. The SOS Smart Oil sensor is the most accurate oil sensor technology available today and is a key component of the Integrated Oil Management System (IOMS). The SOS sensor pro- vides a numerical readout of the com- pounds in oil that increase as the oil breaks down. You will know for certain when oil is past its useful life, or more importantly, when it is not. The SOS Smart Oil Sensor saves on oil costs and ensures food quality. The SOS could not be easier to use. Built into the filtration system, a read- ing is taken every time the oil is filtered. Controlling Pitco's IOMS is the Infinity Touch. The 7-inch touchscreen con- troller features a user friend- ly and easy to understand program to complete all communications about the fryer. A single touch acti- vates the filtration process from start to finish. The Infinity Touch will data log fryer usage and operator activity, such as number of cook cycles and filtrations per day. It even stores a history of SOS oil quality readings. This is the data you need to manage your oil dollars. All of these features working togeth- er are what make Pitco's Integrated Oil Management System the most effective frying solution on the mar- ket. The fryer tank and functionality design of the ROV fryer using Pitco's Solstice Supreme burner technology, paired with the state-of- the-art Infinity Touch controller and the SOS Smart Oil Sensor are redefining oil management. Pitco's Integrated Oil Management System saves labor cost and improves staff safety in the kitchen and also allows operators to reduce oil use, extend oil life and improve food quality.

Offers Sprouted Grain Breads Food For Life Baking Co. ® , makers of the incredibly delicious and nutritious Ezekiel 4:9 ® Sprouted Grain Bread, has been committed to the health of its cus- tomers since its inception over 50 years ago. Among the many natural sprouted grain breads are its widely popular Ezekiel 4:9 and Genesis 1:29 ® breads, English muffins, tortillas, buns, cereal, pitas and pasta. Sprouting maximizes digestibility and nutrition while lowering the glycemic index in the company's flourless bakery products. Beyond the commitment to superior nutrition, there's also a commitment to a balanced and protected pH in every loaf. Why is a balanced pH so important? Because Food For Life recognizes that a balanced pH is absolutely essential for optimum health. This is why Food For Life meticulously chooses its ingredients, and refuses to use acidifying agents such as cultured wheat starch, vinegar, calci- um propionate and ascorbic acid – all preservatives. As an amazing benefit of sprouting, grains actually become more alkaline as water and oxygen support the growth of the new plant and naturally balances the pH. While a balanced pH is great for health reasons – helping protect against disease and illness – a higher pH does tend to shorten shelf life. This is why the company primarily sells Food For Life breads frozen. Because of the popularity of its Ezekiel breads, the company is seeing more competitors now releasing sprouted grain breads, though they are using acidifying agents like vinegar and cultured wheat starch to extend their shelf life. Unfortunately, these ingre- dients lower the pH, by increasing the acidity which Food For Life feels often defeats the purpose of sprouting in the first place. To be a truly healthful product, Food For Life strongly believes in pro- tecting the pH level of its sprouted grain bread, targeting a balanced pH. Because of its commitment to health, you can be assured that Ezekiel 4:9 Bread is the pinnacle of nutrition. Sprouted to maximize nutrition and digestibility! By adding pure filtered water to certified organic grains, legumes and seeds, Food For Life is able to maximize nutrition and digestibility. Enzymes like amylase and protease are released naturally, helping to break down carbohydrates and pro- tein, making them easier to digest while maximizing nutrition and lowering the glycemic index. Baked to perfection! Food For Life's slow baking technique means that every sprouted grain loaf is baked at lower temperatures to help pre- serve important natural vitamins and minerals and never "flash browned," which can often trap active yeast. Loaded with both types of fiber – sol- uble and insoluble. Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 Bread is loaded with both important natural soluble and insoluble fiber to help your body function at its peak. Aren't all breads just carbs? Amazingly, Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 breads often contain just as much protein as the stuff you put on your sandwich, from all plant-based sources. Ezekiel 4:9 Bread, made with 100 percent organic ingredients. Your body and taste buds will know the difference. Check with your foodservice distrib- utor for lower cost restaurant pack options.

Food is kettle cooked to the peak of doneness, pasteurized, then quickly sealed in 5-mil cook-chill pouches. Subsequent rapid chilling to 40 degrees Fahrenheit in approximately one hour (product dependent) and storage at 34 degrees Fahrenheit within 48 hours an yield a shelf life of 30 days without dete- rioration in color, texture or nutrient value. But what if a new kitchen isn't in the budget? Or perhaps an organization is interested in testing prior to committing large amounts of time, resources and money. What then? The new EconoChill Cook-Chill Starter System from Tucs uses an opera- tor's existing kettles coupled with a volu- metric pump-fill station to safely, pre- cisely and gently transfer product from the kettle(s) to pre- formed, high-barrier pouches. From there the pouches are sealed using a portable, foot-operated impulse heat sealer. The sealer creates lay-flat pouches that cool quick- er and are easier to store. Next stop: The Tucs Liquid Immersion Batch Chiller. The batch chiller is maintained at 33 degrees Fahrenheit to provide fast, gentle cooling. Integral evaporator coils directly coupled to the refrigeration eliminate the need for costly, bulky ice-builder or gly- col systems. The chiller system is so efficient it only requires 7HP of refrigeration and can oftentimes be tied into an existing system. A separate refrigeration unit is available for customers that require a dedicated machine. Once chilled, product can be stored or transported to remote locations. Product can be rethermalized in the pouches, thereby eliminating any poten- tial for contamination between cooking and service.
