It also provides commercial kitchen designers, consultants and catering equipment distributors with a real value for money alternative to the more labour intensive and much higher priced ‘multi cookers’.
For hospitals, care homes, or any kitchen needing to produce a wide menu, the MixPan can cook small batches of special meals, shallow or deep fry, as well as produce small to large volumes of any liquid food product.
The Viking MixPan can boil, braise, mix and like all bratt pans, this circular version can produce a range of foods including pasta sauces, rice and risotto, stews, caramel, dairy sauces, and chocolate.
Gareth Newton, manging director of BGL Rieber, said: “Now chefs can have high-temperature frying capabilities and a combi kettle in one group. Grouped with Metos Proveno 4G or Viking 4G combi kettles, the Viking MixPan brings true large volume productivity and flexibility to food production.
“The Metos MixPan has a similar footprint to a four-burner range, but it is far more productive. It can replace the requirement for some fryers and conventional stoves with big pots and pans, making kitchens safer, more productive and consistent, but using less labour.”
With a choice of capacities including 100L, 150L and 200L useable capacity, the MixPan has a working temperature up to 250°C.
