Food Equipment News 1 1 Thursday, February 9, 2017 THE SCOOP ON FRESHLY MADE ICE CREAM Chefs are always looking to create new and exciting dessert menus with fresh, unusual ingredients. Crafting color, adding texture, contrasting temperatures, pairing unexpected flavors or creating a dramatic focal point is easy with ice cream that you make right in your kitchen. Anyone can serve the basics like apple pie a la mode. How about serving up a slice of red velvet cake with home- made cream cheese ice cream instead? Turn traditional PB&J on its head with Concord grape pie and peanut butter ice cream, or celebrate the season with a pumpkin spice ice cream and lemon chess pie combo. The Right Size Waring recently launched a 2-quart com- pressor ice cream maker, ideal for chefs looking to explore their creativity and expand their offerings. The size makes it exceptionally cost effective for a restau- rant that wants a variety of ice cream fla- vors in smaller quantities, and it's also perfect for food trucks and catering ven- ues that want to make their frozen treats on site. Perfect Timing There are so many ways this ice cream maker saves time and effort. The built-in compressor means no pre-freezing, while the quick processing time lets you whip up batch- es of ice cream, frozen yogurt or gelato back to back with no waiting. Mix It Up The mixing paddles incor- porate just the right amount of air for a smooth, creamy consisten- cy that will delight your patrons. The mix-in lid makes it easy to add extra ingredients without interrupting the process. Keep It Cool Part of the secret to ice cream success is keeping and serving it at the ideal tem- perature. The Waring "Keep Cool" fea- ture holds ice cream at the optimal tem- perature when the process is finished, which is critical for maximum flavor and consistency. Remember that moving large ice cream containers back and forth between serving freezers and storage freezers ultimately diminishes its appeal – your smaller ice cream batches will always be fresh. Easy Cleanup When it's time to clean up, just pop the paddle and lid into the dishwasher and wipe down the outside of the unit. With the Waring 2-Quart Compressor Ice Cream Maker, the only limit is your imagination. For more information, go to www.waring products.com or stop by booth #1048. IS YOUR REPUTATION & BOTTOM LINE AT RISK OVER HAND WASHING? "Each year we manufacture our Ozark River Portable Sinks ® , we are amazed at the amount of compliance applications in the food and restaurant industry that busi- ness owners face each day their doors are open to the public. As each year passes, more compliance laws are enforced to protect the public from germs and bacte- ria. We are excited about manufacturing a stellar, practical product that helps the food and beverage business in such an impactful way," states Martin Watts, Chief Executive Officer of Ozark River Portable Sinks. Ozark River Portable Sinks are high quality, hot water, self-contained, mobile hand washing sinks for your staff or your customers to enjoy the luxury of washing their hands with fresh, hot water nearly anywhere required by state and local hand washing law. It's a hot water hand sink you can move and place wherever you want, as quickly as you want, and as often as you want. Businesses that use Ozark River ® include caterers, restau- rants, party planners, hospitality suites, farmer's markets, grocery stores, outdoor serving, food demonstration, waitress stations, classrooms, cafeterias and more. Watts discusses one of the innova- tive uses that was discussed at a recent tradeshow. "An owner of a multi-million dollar pizza restaurant chain saw our sinks at the NRA show in Chicago and immediately saw the application of use for his business. He made the investment in our sinks to reduce the wasted time running back and forth between the serv- ing counter and the wall- mounted hand sink. Employees had to walk over 20 steps each way over 82 times a shift, saving over 3,200 steps and over 54 minutes of wasted time per employee per shift. More time with customers means better customer service, greater sales and profits. What a tremendous value our sinks added to his bottom line." "With a 0.003 percent warranty replacement rate, you can see why our customers think we are the best portable sink on the market. You can physically see the attention to quality and recognize the value of the time we spend manufacturing this exceptional product with superior reliability," explains Watts. "Application and relia- bility are the most common issues dis- cussed by customers. Once the need is recognized, the next step is which one of the over 65 models will fit their need and put them into compliance." Watts goes on to say, "Environmental health officials are just trying to do their job by making sure the public is safe from food-borne illnesses. It is actually a considerable advan- tage for food and beverage businesses to keep their staff's hands free from bacteria and germs, as we all know food-sick cus- tomers will shut down an eating venue and destroy its reputation. We work closely with NEHA to better understand the compliance issues and design prod- ucts that meet or exceeds the stringent NSF Certification, which in most cases satisfies the state and local hand washing law."

SELKIRK UL LISTED FACTORY-BUILT GREASE DUCT Selkirk ZeroClear ® is an industry lead- ing, round, stainless, modular factory- built kitchen grease duct system with 0- inch clearance to combustibles and an integral two hour fire rated enclosure. It utilizes dense insulation and a round aes- thetic, protective metal outer wall as the integral enclosure. Tested and listed by UL, Inc. to UL 1978 and UL 2221 strin- gent grease duct standards, ZeroClear endures a 500 degree Fahrenheit continu- ous operating test and a severe 30 minute 2000 degree Fahrenheit internal grease fire test, without any breach or structural failure of the duct. The UL 2221 fire test, additionally, engulfs the ZeroClear sys- tem for an integral two hour rating (at 1850 degrees Fahrenheit), again without failure structurally or thermally. The structural rigors of these tests cannot be passed by a traditional 16 gauge field welded rectangular carbon steel system. Some other benefits of Selkirk ZeroClear are: 1/16-inch per foot slope required vs. rectangular field welded requiring 1/4- inch per foot; no field weld- ing is required during instal- lation for either new or retro work; easier cleaning and long term operational sav- ings; great for pizza ovens, dishwasher exhaust and coffee roasters; lifetime war- ranty; code accepted; interchangeable with Selkirk's other economical non-fire rated grease duct models; can be inter- mixed with field fabricated rectangular, if necessary. Selkirk's kitchen grease duct has been installed in every style of restaurant, whether standing by itself or incorporat- ed into an airport, hospital, university, stadium, casino, hotel or government build- ing. Just ask, and Selkirk will be happy to tell you the specifics.
