Leading food service manufacturer, Electrolux Professional, has launched e-chef, a brand new software package for its air-o-steam Touchline combi ovens; allowing a variety of food service outlets to make their chefs’ work simple like never before.
e-chef is the result of the extensive feedback gathered from Electrolux Professional’s worldwide
network of executive chefs, the unique in-house Electrolux Chef Academy. Combining international culinary experience with the most advanced know-how in the kitchen, the Electrolux Chef Academy has tested and trusted e-chef, first-hand.
e-chef invites chefs to use the brand new category section as a personal recipe book, allowing them to group recipes by type: cuisine, diets, ingredients, temperatures, meal menu, and seasons. Whether an American T-bone steak or a selection of Indian cuisine, e-chef helps recipes to be programmed and selected, while allowing each chef to create and personalize the category section. For maximum performance, a simple USB key allows a collection of recipes from all over the world in 30 different languages to be saved and transferred to other ovens; guaranteeing customer satisfaction worldwide.
e-chef makes the task of a chef a lot easier by guaranteeing perfect cooking quality every time. Achieving perfect external and internal evenness has never been simpler thanks to the Precise
Humidity Control, its patented lambda sensor, and a six sensor probe.
To further enhance its assistance in the kitchen, e-chef illuminates the oven control panel when cooking is finished as well as sounding an alarm, which is particularly beneficial for those chefs with multiple ovens in a single kitchen. e-chef's intuitive program also sees it warn the end-user when maintenance is required.
Consistent results at the touch of a button
e-chef is the latest addition to Electrolux Professional's revolutionary air-o-steam Touchline combi oven – a concept first brought to market in 1977. Boasting three intuitive cooking modes, a HD touch screen control panel, and the added benefit of a multitimer; air-o-steam fits in seamlessly with the workings of each individual kitchen – all with the added benefit of uniform heat distribution and maximised efficiency levels.
The advantage of the air-o-steam Touchline combi is the consistency it can offer through programmable settings. In actual fact, air-o-steam is a combi oven that can replace almost any other
cooking function in the kitchen, with the added benefit of an automatic self-clean function. This single piece of equipment has the ability to become a one stop shop for all cooking requirements with enough features to deliver an entire menu, to the highest level of quality and consistency.
Stuart Flint, Regional Training and Demonstration Manager at Electrolux Professional, commented: "We understand that restaurant kitchens are often under pressure to refresh their menus in a very limited time-frame. With the launch of e-chef, the air-o-steam Touchline's new software release, global recipes can be transferred to any kitchen where special original dishes from abroad can then be served locally, satisfying customers' tastes and ultimately guaranteeing the success of the restaurant."
