PRESS RELEASE
March 2025

Sheffield, UK – Global leaders in high speed ovens, Merrychef leads the way again with its new Merrychef Oven Cavity Liner. This innovative new product significantly cuts cleaning time at the end of service, helping staff as well as saving money for operators.
Developed at the home of speed cooking in Sheffield, Merrychef has created an innovative product accessory that delivers a 90% reduction in cleaning chemical usage, a 90% reduction in oven cavity protector usage and a 76% reduction in labour time to clean ovens^. This new accessory will revolutionise the ease of cleaning for the best-selling Merrychef conneX®12 and eikon e2s high speed ovens*. Cavity liners for other models are already in development.
“The world of foodservice is challenging,” asserts Merrychef Managing Director, Colin Lacey, “our customers are being affected by rising costs across all areas of their business, from energy and food ingredients to employment costs. Staff recruitment and retention remains a major issue. At Merrychef, we are constantly thinking about how we can make our equipment easier to use and to maintain, to provide ongoing savings for our customers. The new Merrychef Oven Cavity Liner is a simple accessory that has huge potential to save operators money and improve staff productivity and morale. Let’s face it nobody enjoys spending time cleaning their oven cavity at the end of a busy day.”
As well as improving productivity by reducing cleaning time and chemical usage, a cleaner oven helps to reduce downtime and maintenance costs as well as extending the life of the oven. Reduced chemical usage is also more sustainable and kinder to the environment.

With the new liner, there are only two surfaces of the oven that need cleaning. The back of the oven should be cleaned and then sprayed with the Merrychef protector spray, and the inside roof simply wiped down, making it much easier and quicker for kitchen teams at the end of service. The Oven Cavity Liner can be washed in warm, soapy water, dried and easily replaced back into the oven.
