Multifunction oven
An evolution of the traditional electric oven, in addition to the grill,
multifunction ovens feature fans that circulate the air, allowing food to
cook evenly. The type of cooking can be chosen depending on the food
and recipe. Built-in multifunction ovens incorporate several cooking
systems, some of which are highly evolved like the refractory stone and
rotisserie, or specific cooking programs to bake bread and pizza. Certain
models are equipped with an internal fan that rotates clockwise and
anticlockwise for improved heat distribution, a touch screen, and quick
heat and cleaning functions.
Combi-steam oven
Chefs have loved steam cooking for years because it maintains the
flavours, aromas and consistency of ingredients. Doughs are soft inside
and crispy on the outside due to the humidity of the air and fewer
condiments are needed than in traditional cooking methods. This type
of oven combines steaming and traditional ways of cooking to achieve
the roasting and crispiness that make dishes even more delectable.
The combi steam ovens recommended by Officine Gullo include
multiple combined cooking functions as well as a customizable and
pre-selected recipe collection.
Combi-microwave oven
Built-in combi microwave ovens feature the singular or combined use
of a microwave, grill and oven. While a traditional microwave only works
using water molecules in food that heat as they vibrate, a combi-oven
integrates the microwave with the fans and grill to cook complex dishes
like roasts in shorter times, hence saving on electricity.
Blast chiller
Blast chillers are the only appliances that allow temperatures to
be lowered quickly in the centre of hot items after cooking (to 3°), in
addition to rapid freezing and defrosting; cooking meat and fish at low
temperatures (to 70°); leavening bread and pizza; warming or cooling
dishes; keeping food at the perfect temperature (-20°C to +80°C); and
chilling wine and drinks. Entirely produced in stainless steel, it features
a probe to measure the internal temperature of the food and an easy-
to-use soft-touch control panel. This device can halt food at the height
of their flavours and aromas, keeping them unchanged over time. Taste,
nutrition, colour and consistency can cross the threshold of time and
space to be savoured at their best.
