Cooking with Ventless Kitchen Technology
Ventless Brings Variety
Ventless kitchen equipment are known for being convenient and economical, but they’re also rated highly for being able to cook in a variety of different ways. Between the MultiChef high speed oven and the AutoFry deep fryer you can cook, toast, melt, fry, brown, sear, steam, caramelize, reheat, roast, and even bake!
What does this mean for you? You can offer your customer an endless variety of food options while only having two pieces of cooking equipment in your kitchen. Let us help you expand your menu, not your budget or kitchen space.
Still not sure what to make? Our cooking method guide can help take the fear out of choosing a menu. Don’t forget to check out our sample menus for each industry for additional inspiration.
• • • BAKE • • •
There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh baked goods coming out of the oven. Give your customers a taste of the good life with fresh baked goodies like cookies, cupcakes and breads. Get your customers attention with scones, muffins, croissants and donuts, perfect for your breakfast lineup. At lunch, switch to rolls and ciabatta bread for fresh made sandwiches.
The rest of the day you can bake giant cookies, fruit filled pies and even cakes! Your guests will be thrilled with your baked good variety! Best of all, because the MultiChef oven does not use microwaves, the quality of your baked goods will be comparable to that of a convection oven but with far less baking time.
• • • BROWN / SEAR / CARAMELIZE • • •
When it comes to a high speed oven, most people think in terms of fast-casual and quick stop stores, but the MultiChef is so versatile it is perfect for both casual and upscale operations. If you’re looking for some high end menu items try searing salmon with fresh veggies for a light summer meal. Caramelized onions on top of juicy burgers or thin crust pizza take a simple dish to a flavorful new height.
For a more home-cooked approach, try serving up from scratch mac and cheese topped with buttered and browned cracker crumbs and cheese. Guests will be lining up at the door when they smell the buttery crumb crust!
• • • FRY • • •
Fried food is an all around crowd pleaser and lends itself to all day parts and types of food. From precooked frozen items to freshly battered and fried food, you can deep fry just about anything and frying it in the AutoFry takes the guess work out of frying. AutoFry’s fully automated system means you can add items to the hopper and walk away, let the machine do the rest of the work!
Looking for some exciting and innovative fried food items to add to your menu? Try some interesting twists on old favorites. French Fries are one of the most popular fried menu items, spice your fries up with exciting toppings and dipping sauces. Fried chicken is another fan favorite, surprise customers with a fried chicken and waffle dinner.
If you really want to offer something no one else has, try soaking bite sized pieces of pound cake bites in tequila and frying them. Cover the fried bites in powdered sugar or drizzle lime juice before serving and you have deep fried margaritas! This also works with any liquor or liquid of your choice!
• • • ROAST • • •
Roasting is one way to fill your location with amazing scents as food browns and bubbles in the oven. Roasting in the MultiChef high-speed oven is easy. Simply add your food to the oven, choose a temperature and time, and hit the start button. The MultiChef will let you know when the food is ready to serve. Don’t forget, you can make the process even easier by setting presets for your most popular items. Try roasting vegetables in your MultiChef high-speed oven, perfect for adding color to plated meat, toppings on pizza and paninis, and even in a pasta dish.
While you’re at it, how about roasting scallops or shrimp with a side of broccoli or herb-crusted chicken with a side of summer squash. Bring out the best flavors in each item on the plate and allow the combination shine!
• • • REHEAT • • •
As a busy store or restaurant operator, one way to get ahead of the rush to prepare items in advance and reheat them later once ordered by a customer. You can either make an item and flash freeze it with a blast chiller (if you have one) or simply freeze in your standard freezer. Reheating in the MultiChef high-speed oven is easy. Simply add your food to the oven, choose a temperature and time, and hit the start button. The MultiChef will let you know when the food is ready to serve. Don’t forget, you can make the process even easier by setting presets for your most popular items.
Need some ideas for food that reheats well? Crowd favorites like chicken or turkey pot pie are great items to prepare in advance and finish off in the MultiChef. Empanadas are an on-the-go twist on a pie, usually stuffed with meats, veggies and cheese. These can be tailored to any day part simply by changing the ingredients and offer your customer a new way to eat their old favorites. For more basic operations, precooked frozen appetizers are another avenue for increasing customer satisfaction with a menu of variety.
• • • TOAST / MELT • • •
From toasting a bagel and offering custom made breakfast sandwiches to your customers, to melting cheese on top of a chicken parmesan sub – our ventless, hoodless, fully enclosed system will allow you toast and melt food in no time, all without the need for hoods or venting.
Looking for some new and different things to toast in your MultiChef high-speed oven? Try whipping up a toasted marshmallow dessert pizza with a chocolate and peanut butter sauce and toasted marshmallow top. For an upscale appetizer try savory garlic toast bruschetta, topped with basil, tomato, mozzarella and a sprig of asparagus, you’ll have mouths watering with each plateful.
Adding toasted and melted items to your menu is easy with the versatility the MultiChef oven brings!
