Control °Freak from Breville | PolyScience The Breville | PolyScience ® Control °Freak™ is the world's first temperature- controlled cooking system to accurately measure, set and hold every cooking tem- perature from 86 degrees to 482 degrees Fahrenheit within plus or minus 1 degree Fahrenheit of stability. In addition to the through-the-glass pan temperature sensor, the Control °Freak features a temperature probe that communicates and controls the precise temperature of water and fat-based liq- uids, making potentially challenging techniques/recipes such as egg poaching, hollandaise, curds and meringues easy by controlling the temperature of the ingre- dients themselves. This opens up the pos- sibility of executing more progressive menu options, even with less-skilled labor. The machine can record recipe tem- perature programs for future use with features such as: hold a temperature indefinitely (72 hours with a timer), auto- matically "Keep Warm" (140 degrees Fahrenheit), "Repeat Timer," and "Stop Cooking." These programs can be shared with other Control °Freaks thanks to a custom USB port and stick. The ability to create and store temperature programs allows for "one touch operation," yielding a consis- tent result no matter who's cooking. USB functionality allows temperature programs to easily be shared across multiple cookers and locations. A dual-fan system efficiently and effectively cools all the machine's inter- nal components, extending the life of the Control °Freak and eliminating overheat- ing. The unit comes with a pro- tective travel case for safe transport. The Control °Freak carries a two-year limited prod- uct warranty. Breville | PolyScience for commercial kitchens brings innovation, great design and precision to the professional culinary world. The company aims to build products that give chefs more control so they can focus on deliv- ering their best creative work.

Great foods often originate in unlikely places. In fact, Captain Ken Freiberg developed his famous Firehouse Oven- Baked Beans while on duty at Firehouse No. 14 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fifty years later, this signature recipe (plus many others) are made with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality. The story of Captain Ken's Foods began in the summer of 1943, when Ken Freiberg joined the St. Paul, Minnesota fire department. In 1953, he was promot- ed to Captain. As was custom at most fire stations, each fireman took turns cooking meals for his fellow firefighters. Captain Ken's specialty was making oven-baked beans with bacon. Word spread, and peo- ple from the neighborhood would stop by the fire station hoping to sample some of Captain Ken's home cooked oven-baked beans. As Ken's bean recipe grew in popu- larity, his fellow firefighters urged him to start a business, but Ken wasn't ready to give up life as a firefighter. In 1963, though, he used his two-week vacation to sell his oven-baked beans from a food stand at the Minnesota State Fair. The beans were a big hit! A few years later in 1967, at age 55, Ken retired early from the fire department to start Captain Ken's Foods. It didn't take long for Captain Ken's reputation for making quality food products to grow. Today, Captain Ken's processes and markets a diverse range of premium food products for the foodservice and retail mar- kets. The company fea- tures a broad line of award-winning chilies, made-from-scratch oven- baked beans (not canned!), specialty taco meats, varied flavored macaroni and cheese recipes and more. Other customer favorites include Sloppy Joe Meat Sauce, Tater Tot Casserole, Chicken Pot Pie Filling, Cheesy Hashbrown Potatoes, Spanish Rice and Home-style Chicken Chow Mein. All products are made using premium ingredients and are pre-cooked, then flash frozen to lock in freshness and nutritional value. Captain Ken's Foods is family owned and operated. Products are manu- factured at the company's St. Paul, Minnesota facility, which is a USDA- and FDA-inspected and certified plant. Package types range from institutional size one-gallon pouches to sin- gle serve containers. Products are distributed by national and regional broadline distributors. End-user operators include restaurants, cafeterias, resorts, casinos, caterers, convenience stores, delis, healthcare facilities, schools and more. All Captain Ken's products offer quality, consistency and value. Employees take great pride in making great tasting food products and continu- ing the commitment to quality that Founder Captain Ken Freiberg started more than 50 years ago.
