Menu Expansion Ideas from Lil' Orbits Lil' Orbits cooking equipment can open the door to new menu expansion ideas for many restaurants, bars, event venues, food trucks and institutional feeding operations. Current trends that include small plate menus, sharable menu items, bar-centric "munchies," snacks as meal replacements and all-day breakfast serv- ing can be effectively and creatively answered with Lil' Orbits product inno- vations. Lil' Orbits offers automatic donut- making equipment, automatic pancake/crepe making equipment and special mixes. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Lil' Orbits manufactures all of its products in the United States and sells to customers in over 110 countries. It started nearly 50 years ago with its invention of the mini-donut machine. Mini-donuts are a timeless, popular food item that many customers remember enjoying at festivals, fairs and sporting events – recently or years ago. The very profitable mini-donut concept has proven to be ideal for on- demand serving in any location where impulse food purchases are an impor- tant part of menu choice and profitabil- ity. Today, its model 1200 and 2400 donut machines produce fresh-cooked, hot-to-go donuts in four sizes, all of which can be decorated for today's gourmet and designer donut trend. Output can be adjusted to customer demand during peak serving times. Its donut machines need only a very small space within the typically crowded pro- duction area and Lil' Orbits self-con- tained downdraft vent systems can eliminate the need for outside venting. The Lil' Orbits Uni-Matic II pro- duces a variety of sizes of pancakes and crepes without frying. Automated, greaseless cooking reduces training and labor costs and ensures repeatable, quality results at any time of day. Pancakes or crepes start from a batter dispenser and are transport- ed automatically on heated Teflon belts through the Uni-Matic. Control settings determine the amount of batter dispensed to the belts to regulate pancake or crepe size. Cooking time for pancakes (two sides) and crepes (one side) is gauged accordingly. Crepe fillings can be added during the cooking process and automat- ically wrapped into each crepe. Finished pancakes and crepes are deposited into a receiving tray. The Uni-Matic produces up to 1,800 small, 360 medium or 180 large pancakes per hour, and sim- ilar volumes of small, medium and large crepes. It can be operated in the food production area or out in front where customers can enjoy watching the very interesting Uni-Matic cooking process. Lil' Orbits offers a full line of sup- plies, including its own unique donut and crepe mix blends and a wide variety of topping and fillings.

New Baby Food Introduces Common Allergens Inspired Start is the first and only baby food on the market designed for early introduction of eight common allergens. For years parents were told to avoid feeding their infants allergens, but the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology now says that highly allergenic foods can be introduced just like other solid foods, around four to six months of age. Studies have shown that maintaining a consistent regimen of early introduction is challenging, especially as new parents have so much to think about during the first year of life. Inspired Start was designed to remove some of these barriers for families. Each delicious recipe of Inspired Start includes an organic fruit puree and a small amount of just one allergen per pouch. The pouches are per- fect for on-the-go meals and allow for early introduction without cross contami- nation of dishware in allergic households. Pouches are packed in boxes, each of which offers a specific set of allergens. Pack 1, for instance, introduces peanut, egg, tree nut and soy, and it's intended as the first regimen to be introduced to the infant. The next set of introductions includes wheat, sesame, shrimp and cod. Inspired Start was developed with input from leading industry experts, aller- gists and nutritionists. Further guidance came from a growing panel of 12 Boston- area moms committed to tackling food allergies, which the company calls its "Board of Moms." Inspired Start is currently available for order on the company's website and through other online marketplaces. The products will be launching nationally in retail stores in the near future.
