[Video] A Quick Look at Controller Upgrades for Braising Pans and Kettles

In a fast-paced commercial kitchen, the ability to easily control and operate foodservice equipment is critical. For example, if given the choice to stand by and monitor the cooking process or to set a desired time and temperature with the ability to walk away, there isn't a single chef who would choose the former.

Here's where a few new solutions from Groen come in. Making its official roll out this past June, this latest evolution of controllers is the most innovative yet. Chef Adam Live! hit the road down to the Unified Brands test facility just outside Atlanta, GA in our first remote episode to get an inside look with Chef Steve D'Angelo. Watch as he takes us through the features and benefits of the new controls 

Operators have two new options for braising pan and kettle controls.

Classic Operation:

• Equipped with a temperature control knob to regulate the heat intensity of kettles on a 0 to 10 scale setting and control temperature of braising pans from 175°F to 400°F
• Features a heat indicator light to signify when the elements or burners are active
• IPX6 water-rated control panel

Advanced Operation:
