Industry Insight – The Key to Clean Cooking and Lower-Cost Catering
Industry Insight – The Key to Clean Cooking and Lower-Cost Catering
Welcome to the first edition of our brand-new series of ‘Industry Insight’ blogs. We are proud of our industry knowledge, experience and expertise, and want to share that wherever possible. In each edition, we will take a dive into one of the several industries in which we have over 25 years of experience. Today’s topic – Catering, and specifically the importance of Water Filtration Systems in Combi Ovens.
Used typically in commercial kitchens, Combi Ovens harness the power of both steam and convection fans to precisely control temperatures, cooking different foods at different temperatures in the same time period. Their development has been able to create crucial efficiencies for companies operating commercial Catering operations.
As a result, it is essential to maintain both the quality of the food being produced by the ovens, and the protection of the equipment itself throughout its life cycle. Such efficient catering equipment comes at no small cost; therefore, it seems nonsensical to neglect it with the absence of an appropriate Water Filtration system.
The impact of Water Quality on Combi Oven Performance
To fully understand the necessity of Water Filtration in a Steam Oven, we must consider the contents of unfiltered water – with which there are two main concerns:
Hardness – High levels of calcium and magnesium can lead to scale deposits on a Combi Oven’s internal components. This reduces the efficiency of the oven, creating longer cooking times and uneven cooking results. It is important to note that Water Hardness in the UK varies based on location – you can get a free BRITA Water Test kit to determine the Carbonate Hardness in your area.
Contaminants – impurities found in unfiltered water can affect the taste of food. Chlorine can impart unwanted flavours into steam-cooked food, drastically affecting the quality of a Catering company’s output. A Water Filter can ensure the protection of internal components, as well as maintaining the safety and quality of Commercial cooking.
How to choose the right filter for a Combi Oven
While all filters make Water safer and better tasting, each range has intricacies in its design which slightly alter the purpose of a filter and how it performs its designated function. We have simplified the selection process – just head to our Catering section to view the range we have available.Â
Despite Water Filters having the ability to magically (or scientifically) remove unwanted scale and contaminants, they don’t last forever. Once capacity is reached, it is vital to replace the filter cartridge to continue the important work the filter has done to protect your equipment and quality of output. A filter cartridge at full capacity is as good as having no filter installed and opens the floodgates for scale buildup and contamination. If you have any queries regarding which size filter you may need, a member of our expert team will be more than happy to help you, just get in touch.
Realising the investment in a Water Filtration system
We understand that while Catering companies have their customers’ best interests at heart, a Water Filtration System can be a costly investment. To truly outline the benefit of the system, it’s best to look at the situation long-term. For example, a high-quality Filtration System with a new cartridge may cost £1000 and incur a recurring annual fee to replace the cartridge. While this is a significant investment, compare it to the cost of multiple callouts a year to diagnose component failure issue, the cost of repairing the Combi Oven itself, as well as eventually having to replace it entirely when it becomes damaged beyond repair. Suddenly, your initial investment to increase the lifespan of your equipment seems much smaller.
If constant repair costs aren’t enough to worry about, then customer satisfaction is. The success of a food business is hinged almost entirely on whether the customer is satisfied with the food they have been served. Food with odd flavour, texture, or food that is potentially unsafe to eat is not going to make a customer come back. Investing in high-quality water filtration equipment not only protects costs, but also protects and potentially increases revenue – making a Water Filtration system in a Combi Oven the key to Clean Cooking and Lower-cost Catering.
