Evo grillPRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
With the explosion of cooking shows and competitions grabbing viewers’ attention, it’s no wonder that diners also make a captive audience for the show of creating meals. The EVent electric griddle with downdraft ventilation from Evo Inc. allows chefs to move to center stage in restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, grocery stores and even sports arenas without the constraints of overhead ventilation hoods and air systems. “People naturally gravitate toward an Evo grill, especially when we have exciting proteins like sausages or lamb burgers or char sui pork sizzling on it,” says Michael Tuohy, Executive Chef/G.M. at Golden 1 Center, home of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. The arena uses 3 carts in VIP clubs and 3 more, including a dedicated vegan station, on the concourses. “Menu changes are easy with an Evo grill, allowing you to take advantage of seasonality, changing event programming and demographics,” adds Tuohy. The portable EVent combines a large-surface, high-efficiency electric griddle with a quiet, integrated ventilation system that pulls air across the cooking surface through a highly proficient 4-stage filtration system that removes smoke and particulates. A self-contained fire-suppression system has cross-pattern nozzles that provide a continuous zone of protection no matter where the griddle goes. Two models are available: the 35-in.W x 24-in.D EVent 35E cooking station and the 48-in.W x 24-in.D teppan cooking table.

KEEPING TABS ON TEMPS
Because so much of foodservice involves heating or chilling foods to the proper temp, it’s handy that the Cook N Cool digital thermometer displays the internal temperature without the need to open an oven door. It tracks the cooling rate to ensure proper cool-down, as well. A large, easy-to read LCD readout shows timer countdown, actual temp and preset temp. An 80-dB alarm sounds once the desired temp and/or time is reached.
