Imagine an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electroluxprofessional.com\/commercial-kitchen-equipment\/cook-and-chill\/\">Oven and a Blast Chiller<\/a> that interact with each other without you having to intervene.<\/p>\n<p>They communicate with one another about ongoing operations, preparing each other for the next steps: i.e. when the Oven is about to finish the cooking process, it informs the Blast Chiller, that automatically starts the setup phase to be ready to welcome the food<strong>. In-between times are radically cut<\/strong>, so <strong>the whole process requires less time and stress.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Connected kitchen appliances also help achieve a <strong>better workflow<\/strong>: two connected appliances <strong>optimize human-machine interaction<\/strong>, simplifying the procedure for better results and cost savings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reducing errors<\/strong> is another positive outcome of connected kitchen appliances: less human intervention means that <strong>you can focus on other phases <\/strong>of your food preparation process. In addition, these devices often come with built-in control routines to analyze and prevent problems.<\/p>\n<p>When appliances self-regulate, you can spend <strong>less time training your staff <\/strong>in how to use the device, and more in understanding the fundamentals of your cooking approach.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, <strong>cost-cutting<\/strong>. Connected kitchen appliances ensure better control over energy and water consumption throughout the entire cooking process.[\/vc_column_text][elx_heading font_container=&#8221;h3&#8243; font_size=&#8221;h5&#8243; text_color=&#8221;inherit&#8221;]Connected Kitchen appliances: how to choose them[\/elx_heading][vc_column_text]When choosing your connected kitchen appliance, you should consider 4 features.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smooth connection between the appliances<\/strong>: make sure their connection is strong. How do they communicate? Do they share a common design approach and \u201cmindset\u201d? Despite general programming languages and common interfaces<strong>, two communicating appliances built by the same manufacturer are still a plus.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple usability<\/strong>: even if the kitchen workflow is largely influenced by communication between the appliances, there must be a human-machine interaction at least once in the workflow. If that interaction in not <strong>easy and intuitive<\/strong>, almost all the good that comes from connection gets lost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integrated intelligent approach<\/strong>: sensors and artificial intelligence are <strong>key features<\/strong> in running a streamlined process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do not trade connectivity for features<\/strong>: being connected is important but <strong>being state-of-the-art is too<\/strong> \u2013 so make sure that connectivity is bound to the <strong>highest possible technology.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][elx_button button_text=&#8221;Discover our Cook and Chill solutions&#8221; button_style=&#8221;icon&#8221; button_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.electroluxprofessional.com%2Fcommercial-kitchen-equipment%2Fcook-and-chill%2F|title:cook%20and%20chill||&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Connected kitchen appliances are the future of professional cooking.
