CATERING
Why a UF Series utensil washer is the perfect solution for a central production kitchen: Jonathan Player, managing director of »The Professional Kitchen« in Basildon, and his decision to opt for Winterhalter.
The Professional Kitchen is a new idea in catering: a central production unit that specialises in supplying healthy, nutritional meals to nursery schools. Operating from its purpose-built facility near Basildon, it is already supplying 1,000 meals a day and is looking to expand to 2,500 or more. All of which creates a huge amount of dirty pots, pans and utensils.
No other foodservice company specialises in supplying nursery schools and, given the huge increase in pre-school care and the number of nurseries in the UK, it’s no surprise that interest in The Professional Kitchen’s services is so high. Which means keeping the kitchen operating efficiently is essential.
First CPU dedicated to nursery schools installs large-scale Winterhalter UF to cope with volume.
The UF is a dedicated utensil washer that is both fast and effective. It features VarioPower technology, which allows the wash pressure to be individually adjusted, depending on the items being washed and the degree of soiling; a special wash arm design, which gives more power and coverage; and customised washing programmes. Together they ensure every item is thoroughly cleaned.
In a busy CPU speed is essential. The UF can wash up to 64 racks per hour, depending on the wash programme. “It needs to keep up the pace – the UF’s wash cycle is really fast,” says Jonathan Player, Managing Director. “Things come in, get washed, get dried, get out again – it keeps the kitchen flowing. We’re really pleased with it.”
Charles Baseley is the head chef at The Professional Kitchen. “The Winterhalter machine is something else,” he says. “It’s extremely powerful and the performance is incredible. It’s fast, efficient, and gets up to temperature quickly, so it’s a very hygienic wash. It’s an amazing piece of equipment. I’ve used Winterhalter machines before and they’ve always been top notch.”
