[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Connected kitchen appliances are the future of professional cooking<\/strong>. As household kitchens enjoy smart appliances and connected cooking workflows, a commercial kitchen should be at the forefront of connectivity. While at home we focus on remote control and programmability for kitchen appliances, as professionals we are attracted by \u201ctalking\u201d devices<\/strong>: separate machines that can communicate with each other, streamlining kitchen operations and giving better results. Here are some examples of how connected devices can <\/strong>improve workflows and quality in professional kitchens<\/strong><\/a>, and some hints on how to choose them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][elx_heading font_container=”h3″ font_size=”h5″ text_color=”inherit”]5 things connected kitchen appliances can do for your commercial kitchen[\/elx_heading][vc_column_text]One of the first things that connected kitchen appliances can do to improve a commercial kitchen is to save time. Imagine an Oven and a Blast Chiller<\/a> that interact with each other without you having to intervene.<\/p>\n

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. In-between times are radically cut, so the whole process requires less time and stress.<\/p>\n

Connected kitchen appliances also help achieve a better workflow: two connected appliances optimize human-machine interaction, simplifying the procedure for better results and cost savings.<\/p>\n

Reducing errors is another positive outcome of connected kitchen appliances: less human intervention means that you can focus on other phases of your food preparation process. In addition, these devices often come with built-in control routines to analyze and prevent problems.<\/p>\n

When appliances self-regulate, you can spend less time training your staff in how to use the device, and more in understanding the fundamentals of your cooking approach.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, cost-cutting. Connected kitchen appliances ensure better control over energy and water consumption throughout the entire cooking process.[\/vc_column_text][elx_heading font_container=”h3″ font_size=”h5″ text_color=”inherit”]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
