Computer control system tames energy wastage

Swiss-made Elro ranges can now be specified with a microprocessor control system which monitors energy usage and applies automatic power shut off to reduce electricity consumption by up to 30 per cent.

Ranges can be fitted with a combination of induction and infra-red hobs (with optional induction wok) plus griddle, bain marie, fast heating hot cupboard and Trigomat oven with roasting/baking heat booster.

n A kitchen upgrade at London's Landmark Hotel has introduced Elro pressure bratt pans to the line-up, which caters for up to 950 covers per day as well as the 600 covers of the hotels' three restaurants.

Recently appointed executive chef Gary Klaner highlights speed as a key feature: "I can make a sauce in the pressure bratt pan in just one hour whereas it would take three hours or more cooking traditionally," he comments.

"This also frees equipment for other uses, allowing the same bratt pan to be used for several completely diverse functions within a few hours." Elro also provided boiling pans, bains maries and salamanders.
