The event – now in its 5th year – will be returning to 2014 venue, the prestigious Blenheim Palace, on Wednesday 15th June 2016. Organisers are calling for budding BBQ chefs across the country to prepare a 3 course menu, to be cooked on a top of the range BBQ, supplied by co-sponsor Crown Verity. 


Chefs can enter their courses online at www.britishbbqbattle.co.uk before the deadline of Friday 15th April. All courses must be predominantly cooked on the BBQ and one course must include at least one of the wide range of sauces available through event sponsor Lion Sauces. The selected 8 finalists will then be invited to Blenheim Palace to compete in the live cook off on Wednesday 15th June.

The judges will each be scoring the chefs not only on the taste and appearance of their final dishes, but on their BBQ cooking techniques too.

Catering Insight: Light Equipment Focus - February 2016


Catering Insight: Light Equipment Focus 

  • Name/Model number of the product selected
Maestrowave MC30L4B Induction Hob
  • Dimensions of the selected appliance
326 X 386 deep X 101 high (mm)
  • Best Contact For Dealers?
R H Hall Sales Team - 01269 663400 or email sales@rhhall.com
  • What is the list price of this products
£599 ex VAT

What light equipment do you have in your portfolio and what is special about the one you have selected?
The Maestrowave range includes a wide choice of kitchen essentials – from countertop cooking equipment to outdoor products and hygiene equipment. Each product is designed with quality and reliability at the forefront, incorporating innovation, design and functionality throughout. The MC30L4B Induction Hob is a super-fast piece of cooking equipment (a pan of water can be boiled in about 10 seconds) and perfect for those entering the world of induction cooking. With cooking temperatures adjustable between 60 and 240 degrees centigrade by using the simple touchpad controls – instant changes are possible.
The unit can also detect when a pan is removed, so it cuts energy automatically – a great safety feature as well as an energy saver – this feature can save between 40-70% energy over conventional hobs once the pan is removed – this could mean a saving of over £3,000 per year! Another plus point is their ease of installation – just plug in and go! 

What types of catering organisation is this particular unit most suited for?
Induction cooking is suitable for any type of catering organisation, but the MC30L4B has particular appeal for units that are short on space, due to its compact countertop size and speed of operation. It is also a great solution for growing establishments, which may need to quickly add additional cooking areas for an ever increasing menu. A further consideration is anywhere that puts a big emphasis on safety. With induction hob, the cooking surface will be cool to touch when the pan is removed – either intentionally or accidentally. Do make sure that any site is aware that special pans may be required for induction cooking.

When selling on or specifying, what features or aspects of the product should dealers put the most emphasis on?
Speed, efficiency and safety are all key features of induction cooking. Dealers should ensure that customers understand that induction is a very unique system of cooking with exclusive benefits. Efficiency is fast becoming a key factor for many customers when looking to purchase new equipment and as Induction offers ‘direct heating’ almost 95% of every pound spent on energy goes straight into the pan, whereas with gas it’s about 50% and with electric it’s less than 60%.

EDUcatering: Warewashing - February 2016

WareWashing EDUcatering February 2016

Please attribute any quotes from this information to Kris Brearley, Sales Director, 

There are a wide variety of different machine options and manufacturers available to buyers, the most important element is to identify the right machine with the right specification for your application. If the machine doesn’t have the correct specification then it just won’t do the job correctly and invariably won’t offer the desired results.

Some establishments may not always have the expertise to know which machine is right for their operation. As a supplier of many leading brands of ware washing equipment, we can provide advice on the right type of machine for the throughputs needed and the space available.

Many users underestimate the type of machine they need, Don’t just choose a machine based on the overall daily throughput, but take into account peak times. Passthrough or ‘hood’ style dishwashers offer the best solution for sites with a large throughput. Smeg offer machines that are able to handle outputs of up to 72 baskets per hour and these are usually configured with stainless steel tabling positioned either side for efficient loading and unloading. Simply Stainless offer both ‘cleans’ outlet benches and ‘dirties’ inlet tables, which come complete with a sink for pre-rinsing of heavily soiled items. These units are suitable for all leading commercial dishwashers and available in sizes of both 1200 and 1600mm.

For sites with smaller kitchens or less throughput, under counter dish and glass washers offer a more compact solution. The Smeg range includes models with outputs of up to 60 baskets per hour. Modern warewashing equipment needs to be highly functional and energy efficient. Smeg incorporate many design features throughout the range to meet these needs – from rotating arms and nozzles that reach all areas of the tank, to double skinned and insulated bodies to reduce heat loss and ensure optimum heating times.

Operation of these machines is based on ease of use, and easy to use controls, plus many built in features such as self-wash cycles and Smart Wash chemical dosing mean the Smeg range do not require any lengthy staff training
