Paderno has recently unveiled 420 new products, each designed with creative culinary professionals in mind! Here’s a featured look at the Non-Stick Cast Aluminum Dutch Oven:
A fun concept, with all the features and benefits that makes Dutch oven cooking so tasty! They are lightweight, but carry all the same benefits that heavy-weight cast iron Dutch ovens have. The enameled lid paired with the self-basting design collects droplets of condensation and delivers it back into the food to create tender and moist results.
These Dutch ovens conduct heat very effectively, and are non-stick and stain-resistant with a double ceramic-coated interior and encapsulated disc, making them compatible with any cook top, including induction. They are oven and dishwasher safe, BPA and PFOA-free.
Check out their 2018 product catalog with the Dutch oven and many, many other awesome products!
Providing evenly distributed heat from edge-to-edge, the MagiKitch’n Series 600 Charbroiler is a packed full of features that any chef will enjoy. A computer designed cooking pattern ensures that 600 F temperature is evenly distributed across the surface for beautifully cooked food.
And it’s built to last! From double-walled ventilated shields over the manifold to keep the knobs and valves cool to a solid cold-rolled steel top cooking grid, this charbroiler is meant to last. For grease reduction, the E-Z tilt top grid controls grease flare-ups, and can drain up to 70% of grease into a front trough! Add an optional coal rack over the burners to have the best of both radiant and coal.
Available in either countertop (pictured) or a floor model, in sizes 24, 30, 36, 48 60 and 72 inches.
As the 2018 National Restaurant Association Show wrapped up a few weeks ago, we’ve been introduced to a ton of new and innovative products. The folks over at TableCraft Products have some awesome products coming out, here are a couple highlights:

Food service operators often overlook the fact that ice is food too. It is used in everything from displays to food containers, but a large portion of ice is consumed in drinks and comes in direct contact with foods in the kitchen. Subject to the same food safety rules as other foods, have you thought about enough about the cleanliness of your ice?
Ice-O-Matic’s Elevation Series ice machines are the easiest machines to clean and keep clean in the industry. The Elevation Series is designed with forward facing evaporators and tool-free access. No need to move equipment around to access coils and no need for a toolbox. Regular cleaning requires half as many steps as the competition. Moreover, the rear of the evaporator assembly is insulated and sealed to minimize concerns about cleaning and microbial growth.
Not only is having a cleaner ice machine safer, it also runs more efficiently, using less electricity and producing more ice. This saves money! They also require less service calls than other competing ice machines, allowing Ice-O-Matic to provide the longest extended warranty available in the market and more “ice for the price” than other brands. Ice-O-Matic’s simple and inexpensive water filter program can further protect your customers and your investment, while extending the warranty on your evaporator unit from 5 to 7 years.

Whether you’re opening a new bar or revamping an existing one, every decision you make when installing a draft beer system not only affects the overall experience you’re able to provide to your customers, but ultimately your bottom line.
SEFA recently caught up with Amy Huston and Tom Gutkowski of Perlick, who explained the different beer system components offered by Perlick, and how they can help increase your operation’s bottom line.
Duke Manufacturing knows that the functionality and appearance of your serving counter plays a huge role in the success or failure of your operation. Serving counters should:
Allow you to showcase and merchandise your food for better profitability
Adapt to changing menus and presentation styles
Increase efficiency and throughput to limit lines and serve more customers
Keep food safe
Duke offers three lines of modular serving counter solutions to meet your needs and budget.
Duke’s AeroServ line is designed for space efficiency and serving ease. With a 24.5” wide stainless steel top, this allows for easy serving over the foodshields. Choose options such as a modular or continuous counter, and between 12 powdercoat finishes with custom options available. The AeroServ line is an affordable option where space is limited without compromising on durability or flexibility.
Duke’s premium line of traditional modular serving systems, the Thurmaduke line allows you to create your own concepts. It is both functional and durable, and designed to help maximize efficiency, reduce labor, and increase productivity.
Duke’s Expressions line offers all the distinctive design options of custom serving lines, with the added benefit of modular flexibility. Spec-built 18 gauge bodies feature enhanced fit and finish with ease of serving options. Designer food shields and unlimited signage and graphics options are available.
Often known for providing solutions to many of the problems that arise in foodservice, Vollrath has solved another problem. Induction rethermalizers have become easier to serve with hinged inset covers. By removing the hinge in the middle of the cover, operators can now serve with a larger opening. Add in a kickstand, serving becomes a lot less awkward. They have also helped control portions by introducing beautiful utensils that look high-end.
Check out the video below to see serving solutions provided by Vollrath:
For starters, all American Panel door frames are made of reinforced polymer fiberglass. Making them not only strong, but resistant from warping and heat! They also come standard with a System 100 Monitor. This innovative monitoring system allows operators to control the unit’s temperature, the lights inside it, and the door-frame heater, providing unparalleled energy savings at no extra cost. American Panel walk-ins also come insulated with (R32) urethane foam, which means they’re reliable, and will easily meet all Federal, State, and local codes.
But this is just the beginning of what separates American Panel Walk-In Coolers and Freezers. Check out the video below for more features and examples of what is considered to be the most versatile and dependable walk-ins on the market today.
Last year, Metro introduced the Mightylite ML300 and ML400 front loading pan carriers. They are stackable, strong, lightweight, user-friendly, and are very popular. Metro is carrying that success into this year by expanding the Mightylite line with top loading pan carriers for hot and cold food transport!
The “BigBoy” (ML180 and ML180XL) is made from highly durable and advanced polymer foam construction (EPP). Metro’s advanced manufacturing process packs 50% more material into their robust construction, and are designed to stack or carry atop each other stacking perfectly on Metro’s front loaders. They will maintain safe serving temperatures for more than 5 hours, and are hinge-less, latch-less, and drain-less. They are also very easy to sanitize and clean!
What sets these top-loading pan carriers is that they essentially act as coolers. Traditionally, pan holders are not designed to hold taller items like beverage bottles or milk cartons, and coolers are not designed to hold food pans. The ML180 and ML180XL BigBoy are designed to do either, depending on your needs. Further, the cover on the BigBoy can also be flipped over, filled with ice, and used to display and serve bottled and canned beverages.
The Mightylite top-loaders come with a 2 year full coverage warranty, and are lighter than other competing top loaders. They are value priced while still matching or exceeding the temperature holding performance of more expensive units, and nothing matches their stackability and versatility!
