technology can revolutionize the operation

Can you imagine how much water is saved in a dishwasher? Or how many French fries are made per hour in a deep fryer? And how many accidents at work can be avoided by using a blender with a monitored lid? The answer to these questions boils down to one word: technology. In this case, technology applied to kitchen equipment.

Technology in gourmet equipment can revolutionize the operation of a kitchen. Platinox, a reseller of kitchen utensils and equipment with more than 15 years of experience in the gastronomy market, stands out precisely for closely following trends and innovations in the sector.

“What sets us apart is that we are the first store in the southern region of Brazil that combined equipment and utensils, because to set up any gastronomy operation, from a cafe, bar, hotel, snack bar, hamburger joint, small, medium and large restaurant, it is necessary to have this structure”, says José Antônio Martimiano, director of retail and marketing at Platinox.

According to Martimiano, over the last ten years, the kitchen operation has undergone major transformations. Investment in state-of-the-art equipment and utensils started to bring more productivity both to restaurants, bars and other establishments in the food sector, and also to agility for consumers who are fond of cooking.

Economy and food security

The use of modern and efficient equipment, in addition to streamlining the food preparation process, reduces the time required for each task and also generates savings. “The dishwasher, for example, today has the benefit of saving water from 30% to 70% depending on the equipment. So, there is much less water consumption for cleaning and sterilization, in addition to less breakage, ”he reports.

Food safety is also another positive aspect of using more advanced equipment in the kitchen, since “it avoids contamination and brings safety, from small kitchens in cafeterias at a gas station to large companies in the sector”, comments Martimiano.

Reduction of accidents at work

The evolution of equipment technology, in addition to replacing part of the workforce, also brought more safety to kitchen professionals, avoiding accidents at work.

“Today, for example, there are blenders with a monitored lid. When you open the lid, it stops working, because there have been many accidents at work in which people lost a finger in the equipment”, says Martimiano.

The investment in modern equipment is also reflected in the production efficiency and quality of the final product, that is, in the dish or preparation that will be served to the customer. This is the case of hamburger shops, for example, which invest in super-powerful plates and start producing large quantities of hamburgers in record time. “And then you have productivity, because you produce at a faster speed and with that you sell more products”, comments Martimiano.

The same happens with the use of other equipment, such as fryers with greater power. “How many potatoes do you want to fry per hour? It is not just any equipment that meets such a demand. You have to have this temperature support”, he says. In practice, the acquisition of specific equipment will depend on the need of the entrepreneur who owns a small bistro or a large chain of restaurants.

The combination oven is another piece of equipment mentioned by Martimiano as a “joker” in the kitchen, precisely because it combines the functions of a conventional oven and a steam oven. As they are equipped with sensors and advanced control systems that allow chefs and cooks to adjust and program the cooking parameters according to the specific needs of each food, the guarantee of a tasty and quality preparation is even greater.
