Cruise and Ferry Review - Summer/Spring 2020

1 9 1 The MKN FlexiChef aims to optimise time, space, efficiency and quality for chefs working in ship galleys. The tool is currently the only cooking appliance on the market that features a self-cleaning skillet pan, called SpaceClean. With its intermediate chemical-free cleaning cycle, the pan can be washed and ready to use again in as little as two minutes. SpaceClean enables chefs to focus on the more creative tasks such as food and menu preparation, while the appliance takes care of the washing up. Welbilt prides itself on having the largest range of combi ovens in the global marine market and supplying quality maritime catering units, such as Merrychef accelerated cooking equipment, Garland induction Manitowoc ice machines and Convotherm combination ovens, across the world. Convotherm marine units are particularly suitable for the hectic and confined working environment onboard a cruise ship. The robust and hygienic Convotherm 4 Marine has specifically been designed according to strict maritime specifications without compromising on the award-winning sustainable and practical features. As cruise ships become more elaborate, the demand for speciality restaurants has become a priority. Operators are choosing TurboChef Marine rapid cook ovens for their ships’ main galleys and dining venues because they cook food up to 10 times faster than traditional methods, without compromising quality. TurboChef ovens take up little space and are approved by the US Public Health Service. As a result, they can be installed virtually anywhere on the ship. They also feature touch screen controls which are durable and easy to use, allowing any user to consistently cook products to perfection. Ecological values have become more important in shipping in recent years. Shipowners have committed to reducing emissions as part of an industry-wide journey towards greener choices. Almaco Group is reinforcing this by developing new systems that support sustainability and operational efficiency in galleys. Its complete Integrated Catering Management system enables ship operators to control and monitor galleys, hoods and ventilation, refrigerators, provision stores and other smart appliances. The company’s in-house expertise in development, design and project management ensures it can meet the requirements of future food and beverage concepts and serve its customers with greener choices.
