The Cook & Chill Process with IRINOX

What is Cook & Chill?

The #CookAndChill system represents a fundamental innovation in the food service industry. It is a process that allows food to be cooked in advance and stored under optimal conditions until service time. This method helps maintain #quality, #freshness, and food #safety, while also reducing waste and optimizing operational efficiency.

How IRINOX Supports Each Step of the Cook & Chill Process

• Acquisition of Raw Materials

The first step involves acquiring high-quality raw materials. It is essential to select fresh and premium ingredients to ensure the final product's quality.

• Storage of Raw Materials

Raw materials can be stored in our holding cabinets such as CP Next and CK Next, which maintain optimal temperature and humidity conditions to preserve the freshness and quality of the ingredients.

• Preparation and Cooking

Preparation and cooking can take place in a traditional oven or at low temperatures using our #multifunction #blastchiller MultiFresh? Next. This versatile machine allows for even cooking while maintaining the food's organoleptic properties.

• Direct Chilling or Freezing

After cooking, the food must be rapidly chilled or freezed. MultiFresh? Next allows for direct chilling of the food to +3°C or freezing to -18°C, depending on the needs, ensuring food safety and maintaining product quality.

• Storage

Once chilled or freezed, the food can be safely stored and kept in CP Next and CK Next. They keep the food at constant temperatures, preserving freshness and quality until service.

• Rethermalization

Before being served, the food must be brought back to serving temperature. This can be done in the oven or in MultiFresh? Next, ensuring that the regenerated food maintains the same quality as freshly prepared dishes.

• Serving the customers

Thanks to the Cook & Chill system and IRINOX equipment, chefs can serve high-quality dishes efficiently, ensuring customer satisfaction.
