The key things that catering operators and chefs are looking for in their kitchen equipment are performance, flexibility and optimization of space and resources.
The Baron Talent Plus Multi-Function delivers on all fronts.
The Talent Plus Multifunction is available in three sizes, from 80x70cm Slim model, up to 80x90cm Production model. Each offers seven different cooking options at the touch of its high-tech buttons.
The three different Talent Plus models – classic, production and slim – have been designed and built with the chefs in mind. Indeed, leading chef Gianluca Scolastra was consulted by Baron to fully understand their needs.
“The expectations are for high-quality food using advanced technology because the clientele are so informed. This means the equipment must be of the highest standard to achieve quality results. The Talent Plus certainly delivers and meets these modern challenges,” says Scolastra, who points to Talent Plus’combination of technology and multipurpose cooking capabilities. There’s the popular fry-top, which is practical and quick thanks to its non-stick hob in duplex steel, five resistors in cast alluminium and high temperatures with the help of a penetration probe to achieve maximum precision.
New Solutions
“One of the new solutions and possibilities with the frytop function is the possibility to control two areas at different temperatures for different dishes and to heat the required area according to the product quantity” explains Baron’s R&D manager Adamo Zoccolan. Chefs can use the Talent’s braising pan for red meat and game, which is slow cooked in a small amount of liquid. With a penetration probe and timer, it can produce high-quality braised meats and shanks.
Talent Plus also has three pasta baskets, meaning chefs can cook three different types of past at the same time, optimizing time and costs. In automatic mode, the Talent can bring its water tank capacity to a boil in just eight minutes. The tank capacities are 17 liters for the Classic and Slim models and 36 liters for the Production model. There’s also a steamer option where three baskets use just three liters of water and a specially designed lid with rounded lines allowing condensation to flow to the sides and not fall over the product. A boiling setting also automatically fills the tank, maintaining the flavor, weight and softness of food.
Chefs can deploy bain-marie cooking for maintaining the temperature of sweet and savory sauces, warm side dishes and broths, and there’s even an option to slow cook food like soups, boiled meat and red meat.
Talent Plus has a new STEP MODE function. “This does everything from the basic setting of a bratt pan to allowing chefs/operators to insert and save their own recipes – as well as pre-heating and temperature maintenance” says Zoccolan.
” These save on operative notes are accessible to all kitchen staff. This multifunctionality allows us to create meals and vary cooking modes quickly, and make the most of different operations in a single appliance” says Scolastra.
