PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Your grilled chicken may look cooked, but you still check it with a thermometer to make sure it’s at a safe temperature to avoid risking a foodborne illness. But what about the counter where it was prepped? Your staff cleaned the surface with a germ-killing disinfectant, but is it really clean? Knowing that the surface is safe and clean is the concept behind 3M’s Clean-Trace Hygiene Monitoring and Management System. “The effects of having a cross-contamination or cleanliness issue in today’s social media age can be catastrophic to any business, let alone one in foodservices,” says Adam Nash, Marketing Manager, Food Service at 3M Canada. “Hygiene Monitoring is a proactive program that helps keep staff and customers safe by ensuring cleaning procedures are effective and helping minimize cross-contamination risks.” The heart of the system is the compact, comfortable, portable Luminometer handheld device, which gives an objective reading from a surface swab and records data for consistency and reliability. Users can swab cutting boards, utensils, sponges, containers, storage areas or any place that may be of concern after prep and cleaning to determine cleaning effectiveness. “Our equipment was designed to withstand tough environments, where we know it can be banged and dropped,” adds Nash. “Our software management is customizable to help you track and record your needs.”

CATERING DONE RIGHT
Sterno SpeedHeat is a flameless, water-activated heating product that is ideal for drop-off catering that’s meant to be served quickly. It’s safe, convenient and very effective for the task. The system keeps food heated at an ideal serving temperature for up to 30 min.; it’s best suited for events lasting 45 min. to 1 hr. The system works by adding a Speed- Heat packet to each of the tray’s 2 reservoirs, then filling each reservoir with water. The packets activate, generating heat in under 1 min. Next, place filled food pans over the steaming packets and cover; uncover to serve—food stays warm.

NEW FRYING SYSTEM
Pitco’s TorQ frying system sports technology that decreases cook times and reduces oil costs. It achieves production with less than 30 lb. of oil with automatic replenishment of fresh oil as needed. Using a seamless, deep-drawn tank, TorQ’s Torrent Filtration system moves oil consistently in a path that filters out sediment while pumping through heating elements, back into the tank. Sediment continuously gathers in a built-in tray that’s more than 75% smaller than a filter drawer.

A visual alarm alerts you when the machine is low on mix, when the cabinet needs to be defrosted, if the door is open or when it’s time to program the cleaning cycle making it simple to operate and maintain. For additional convenience, this model is equipped with a bag-in-box system making it possible to feed the freezing cylinder directly from a liquid product bag or the mix container provided; it loads from the front.
