Training & Educational Focus Catering Insight - December 2018

Please attribute any comments to Kris Brearley, Sales Director, R H Hall

Have you recently opened a demonstration kitchen or upgraded your existing one? If so, what facilities do you now have available?

Our 2,500 sq ft development kitchen opened in 2006 and is regularly upgraded to include the latest equipment and technologies available to the foodservice market. Our facilities include a fully operational test kitchen, various equipment available for evaluation and a large area for meetings and/or training.

What kind of equipment details can you impart to dealers by using a demonstration facility that would be difficult to explain otherwise?

The most important part of having a demonstration facility is the ability to see the quality of the product on offer and also the results that it can produce! Some equipment, particularly in the 
accelerated cooking or combination steamer market, rely on the quality of the end cooking result. These items can also sometimes seem expensive until the item is fully demonstrated and the 
full benefits seen.

How do your demonstration facilities help dealers themselves and help them sell to end users?

Our development kitchen provides facilities that dealers would not necessarily have access to at their own premises – and as a wholesaler we are able to provide a wide range of equipment and brands that a manufacturer cannot always do. We are also able to provide the crucial link between dealers, end users and food companies. We regularly arrange trials and testing via our Food Solutions team, giving the end user the confidence that they have the right product for their needs, particularly important for larger group customers and those who require complete product consistency.

Do you organise regular training events at your demonstration kitchen – if so, what form do they take?

Our development kitchen has hosted many industry training events, both scheduled events held by manufacturers and bespoke events organised at the request of our customers. 
We have also played host to many industry meetings and seminars, as well as offering a perfect opportunity for chefs to test and trial equipment.

R H Hall are Exclusive UK Distributors for Sharp Commercial Microwave Ovens, Maestrowave Catering Equipment, iWave Automated Foodservice Solutions, Smeg Foodservice Ovens, Simply Stainless Modular Fabrications, Crown Verity Professional Barbecue Systems and the New Covent Garden Soup Server. We are also nationally appointed wholesalers for most other leading brands in foodservice equipment.

Microwaves Feature Casual Dining December 2018

Please attribute any comments to Kris Brearley, Sales Director, R H Hall

What are the latest developments in microwaves in restaurants?
Manufacturers are always looking for new and innovative ways that microwave technology can be used. The Combination Microwave and High Speed Oven market is continuing to grow – with these clever machines offering the speed of microwave cooking, combined with the versatility of more conventional methods. We are currently seeing rapid progress with Combination Microwave technology and expect to see imminent changes in this area – we are currently working with some major manufacturers in developing the next generation! The use of barcodes with microwave cooking also continues to be exclusively marketed and developed by iWave. The company are currently planning an addition to the range that will be designed to appeal to the wider catering market. Keep an eye on www.maestrowave.com for the latest news. The microwave oven continues to be seen as a must have kitchen product within commercial foodservice operations. We continue to work in partnership with our dealer and distributor network to offer the full microwave solution. Multi-sited chains may require additional support in the form of food testing, demonstrations or training, pre-programming, branding and more. Your specialist microwave supplier should always be able to liaise closely with the operator to offer these services and we have had notable successes with our Distributor partners – signing up a number of chain accounts in the last 18 months. We are here and ready to work with you!

What food and drink can best be made using microwaves?
Today’s microwave ovens are sophisticated, yet easy to use and produce excellent cooking results in a fraction of the time it takes to cook foods conventionally and their versatility is under estimated. Many foods and dishes can be cooked very, very well in a microwave oven: cakes, sauces, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, eggs and jams can all be cooked with great results. There are a great diversity of dishes that can be prepared quickly and easily from fresh ingredients. Not only that, but more nutrients are retained in microwave cooked food than by any other cooking method. In fact, correctly cooked vegetables contain 85% of their original vitamin content, when boiled they often
contain none! A great benefit especially for growing children where they would only need to eat a little to get more of the vitamins they need. Be prepared for a bit of trial and error! Overcooking is one of the common problems experienced when new to microwave cooking or introducing new dishes. It is better to undercook first until you are familiar with a recipe, test it and then increase the cooking time. You should also factor in standing time and test a dish after this – a bit of trial and error will help establish the correct timing for a perfect result. You can always put it back in the oven for an extra minute – whereas overheated or overcooked food is ruined. Consider each of the foods you are cooking – every food has a different moisture, fat and sugar content and different starting temperatures – e.g. refrigerated, ambient etc. and these factors all affect cooking times and can affect the final result.


Are restaurant chefs using microwaves to the best of their ability?
Understanding is still the key to success with microwave cooking and if caterers do not fully understand what their equipment is capable of, they are unlikely to be using it to its full potential. By fully understanding their microwave and getting the right techniques for each type of food, caterers can achieve succulent meat, poultry and fish together with perfectly cooked vegetables that retain taste, texture and nutritive value. Many of the techniques used in microwave cooking are the same as used in conventional cooking, but with a few minor adjustments. Historically there has been a lot of negativity towards cooking with microwaves, but there shouldn’t be, microwaves can cook great food in a fraction of the time it would take with other methods. Not only do they save time, but money and nutrients too. Overcooking is one of the common problems experienced when new to microwave cooking or introducing new dishes. It is better to undercook first until you are familiar with a recipe, test it and then increase the cooking time. You should also factor in standing time and test a dish after this – a bit of trial and error will help establish a perfect result. If unsure, always start with a recipe you are familiar with – if you have cooked it before you will know exactly what the finished dish should look and taste like, so you can then compare and tweak the cooking procedure to get the same result.

October will once again see Seafood week become part of the food industry calendar. This import culinary week is one where anyone in the food or catering industry can get involved and promote the UK fisheries and the fish they bring to our plates. The event is often very hands-on and anyone in the catering industry is invited to take part. Fish is such and important part of a healthy diet and this week encourages people to explore fish and is a prime opportunity to add some fish to any menu.

Microwaves & Light Equipment Care Home Catering – Winter 2018

Please attributes any quotes to Ray Hall, Managing Director, R H Hall

What features on the latest generation of microwave ovens are going to be the most important/of greatest value in the Care Home kitchen?

When looking to invest in new microwaves, Care Home Caterers should look at models with variable power, as this will allow more dense food products to be reheated/cooked at slower speeds, allowing for the conduction of heat to work through to the middle to avoid an overcooked outside and raw centre! The use of variable power works in the same way as your hob and gives you the exact control you need to create speed yet a quality cooked/reheat result. A further feature to look for is stage cooking. This allows an operator to program a series of different defrost, cook or reheat tasks, allowing a complete process to be carried out at the press of a button. For example, it is possible to defrost, then cook and keep warm ready for serve up all in one go. Most leading brand models now have this function as standard. In addition, energy efficiency is a top requirement for many users and is fast becoming a definite key feature. Machines that can produce optimum results whilst keeping energy usage low will meet the needs of many new or refurbished kitchens. There will always be a place in every kitchen for a basic microwave, but future developments are likely to focus on automation, particularly for multi-sited operations. Menu consistency is key and machines which offer easy menu programming will become more and more appealing. The revolutionary iWave® Foodservice Solution uses microwave technology to provide a fully automated, ‘straight to plate’ system. With barcode scanners replacing traditional touchpad or manual controls, the iWave® offers a ‘fool-proof’ solution for care homes and many other applications. We can work with various food companies to fully test and develop a bespoke menu for any site. With e-reporting options available, stock and budget control can be also managed easily.

How should the Care Home Caterer select the right microwave?

To choose the right kind of microwave, consumers should look at their menu offering and decide what tasks the microwave oven should undertake. If the microwave is to be used mainly for simple reheating and defrosting of foods then a straight-forward commercial microwave will suffice. However, if you wish to reheat and cook food products then a combination microwave oven is well advised. Items such as pastry will become soggy if reheated in an ordinary microwave whereas using a combination microwave the crisp, golden brown and conventional finished result will be achieved in microwave time! It is very important to choose the correct microwave oven wattage. You need to select an oven with sufficient power, but just as importantly, do not over specify. If too low, frustrations can be caused by delays, and if too high, it will be difficult for the user to judge the timing of small portions. Whilst it is common for caterers to choose speed (the higher the output the faster reheat times), it is also very important to understand that for some food products too much speed will destroy smaller portions of food or the delicate and sugary types of products. Many cheaper imports are flooding into the UK and it can be tempting to go down this route, but unknowingly to many, a lot of this equipment doesn’t have any product conformity standards and the back-up of a full warranty. Go for a well-known brand - guaranteed quality doesn't cost you more!  Regardless of size or duty, sturdy manufacture is a ‘must’ and this is what you get by choosing a well-known brand - anything else won’t perform or last. Choose a leading brand with an established reputation for good quality, durability and reliability. These brands usually build in great operational features too, which should always be considered. Microwaves today are split into 2 main categories – standard microwave only, which are perfect for reheating a wide range of foods – and combination microwaves, which offer huge versatility for cooking a wider range of products, with the speed of microwave cooking. The market leading Sharp range of microwaves available through RH Hall offer heavy and extra heavy duty build quality with total control, flexibility and versatility –with in-built features to save time and energy. The best-selling range goes from 1000W to 1900W to cater for all foodservice applications and are available in both touchpad or manual control versions. Recently launched is the Maestrowave MW10 1000W Microwave, which offers a unique optimised microwave distribution system and cavity, to ensure perfect results every time. The MW10 offers amazing value for those on a tight budget, who still want to ensure they are buying a fully commercial product. This is backed up by a 3-year magnetron warranty, protecting the ‘heart’ of the machine. The Maestrowave Combi Chef 7 is able to operate in a variety and combination of cook modes making it the most flexible, efficient and easy to use oven yet! It can bake, roast, grill, steam, defrost, regenerate, microwave, boil or simply keep food warm - this is the oven that can do it all. This high-speed oven features Menu Creator 2.0™ software. Packed with features, the oven will produce the best results at the simple touch of a button – a total combination of 11 cooking modes can be used to achieve top quality results. Up to 99 menus can be pre-programmed to ensure consistency time after time.  But don’t be daunted, the Menu Creator 2.0™ is extremely easy to use; however, if required, full technical support is available from RH Hall. There is a web video available online which demonstrates the benefits of combination Microwave ovens - visit www.rhhall.com and search for ‘CC7’.

What are the other items of light equipment that no Care Home kitchen should be without, and what should the Care Caterer consider when investing in new items of equipment such as blenders, mixers, food processors, panini grills etc?

In addition to a microwave, many sites will need a solution for stove top cooking such as frying, poaching or boiling. Induction technology combines cooking speed with safety and energy efficiency. The Maestrowave MC30L4B Induction Hob offers an affordable and compact solution for those taking their first steps into induction cooking. With a single cooking zone and easy to use controls, this countertop unit provides an option for smaller sites or perhaps those just testing the compatibility of their menu with induction technology.

   It really can be a minefield selecting the best equipment out of the hundreds of brands available and variations of equipment on the market. It really depends on the type of operation, the numbers to cater for and staffing levels – including whether a chef is employed or whether the home has more a basic catering kitchen/operation. The amount of space available in the home’s kitchen is also a factor to carefully consider. Ideally as much of the kit a caterer has should be used daily, although obviously it’s not always the case, but there’s no point in having lots of individual pieces of kit if they are going to sit on a shelf for the majority of the time! Each piece of kit has to earn its keep and no caterer can afford to have kit lying around under-utilised. Caterers should assess their real needs in line with current and future menu requirements and numbers to cater for too.

What would you say to a care home caterer who is in the habit of specifying domestic light equipment?

First and foremost, microwave wattage or output is a huge differential. Domestic microwaves will typically range from 800W to 1000W, with most models on today’s market being 900W. A commercial machine will normally start from 1000W, ranging all the way up to 1900W or further. This means much faster cooking and better results! Another big difference between commercial and domestic machines is build quality. A commercial machine should use on the best, heavy duty components – designed to withstand the intense use of a commercial environment. Domestic machines are built with light, home use only in mind – and therefore use much lighter duty components. Finally, consider the warranty provided with the machine. A domestic machine is designed for use in the home, so any use outside of this will invalidate any warranty it is sold with. Commercial microwaves should come with at least 1 year on site warranty cover, with many of the leading brands providing up to 3 years on site. Always consider the warranty offered on the magnetron – which is the heart of any microwave!

Baking Bread on a Crown Verity BBQ

There is nothing better smelling or tasting than freshly baked bread. However, something even tastier is bread baked on a Crown Verity BBQ. There are a handful of breads that can be cooked on your barbecue and most of them are simple to make, and don’t let the simplicity fool you BBQ breads are amazing.

Flat Breads on a BBQ

These simple and delicious breads are amazing. They can be plain with no spices or herbs and when eaten hot of the grid with a dollop of butter just send the taste buds into overdrive. And then they can have herbs and spices such as rosemary to give them a truly magical taste.

The recipes for almost every flat bread for a BBQ are very much the same. You will need some plain flour, some dried yeast, olive oil (not essential but recommended) and some water.  Rather than making one large “loaf” flat breads are far better made as rolls or single serving sized breads.

With flat breads, the ingredients are mixed, kneaded a little and left to rise for a few minutes before being placed on a tray on the BBQ. Remember, the bottom of your bread will cook faster than the top and having the correct temperature is part of the art of flat bread making on a BBQ. You might have to experiment a little at first, and one of two of your loaves or rolls may get burnt until you perfect the art. Once perfected, the simplicity of making flat bread on your barbecue will make them a must-have, and no BBQ will be complete without them.

You can of course, play around with different types of flour to get different types of flat bread with amazing tastes. The flat breads do not rise a great deal but when made well are delicately soft and the homemade taste shines through. Some people brush olive oil on their bread while it is baking and top this off with a scrunch of salt. You can experiment further and add cheese into your bread mix or even chopped bacon, to be honest, the sky is the limit with flat breads.

Beer Bread or No-Knead bread
Beer Bread or No-Need breads on the BBQ are often called pot breads. These breads are even easier to make that the flat breads but often need a little more time to cook. To really cheat and produce something amazing self-raising flour is the secret. A bag of self-raising flour mixed with a bottle of beer and maybe a little water with salt to taste is by far the easiest bread you will ever make. Once the ingredients are mixed they are placed in a cast iron pot layered with baking paper and left to bake slowly on the grill or near the heat of the grill, the trick again is to get the temperature right and stop the bottom from burning.

Around the world beer or pot breads become “modified” some people throw in a can of sweetcorn and mix it in to create a simple corn bread tasting loaf. In South Africa, one of the most unusual is a Chakalaka Beer Bread that doesn’t even need the beer where a can of hot and spicy mixed vegetables are stirred into the mix producing a bright orange bread with a sweet, spicy taste that people go crazy for. Adding in cheese is common with simple pot breads as is adding bacon or chopped veg.

Best served hot, any bread cooked on the Crown Verity BBQ is a simple and tasty addition to any BBQ and will turn any humble Chef into a true BBQ master.
