Multifunktionsskåp Metos HiChef SBM-161-HR-RC vänsterhänt

The multifunctional quick cooling cabinet and freezer Metos HiChef is suitable for positive and negative blast chilling, thawing, proofing and retarder-proofer, pasteurization, slow cooking, maintaining the temperature, drying. Those are just some of the functions that can be managed immediately and precisely, individually or by connecting them in a single flow. The versatile Metos HiCHef quick cooling cabinet and freezer with its pre-set programmes and logical interface enable multiple cooling and cooking options making the appliance easy to use. Cooling preserves the taste, appearance and weight of the food. Quick freezing enables serving perfectly preserved food either raw or fully cooked at any time

A further advantage of Metos HiChef is that when the cooking point is reached, it automatically passes to the blast chilling and subsequent storage phase without any need for an operator to perform these steps manually. Therefore, everything can be done safely when the kitchen is not being used.

The defrosting function ensures controlled defrosting of frozen food items in accordance with the HACCP standards. The dough rising option controls temperature and moisture of the dough as well as the time at which the dough should be ready for baking. The defrosting and dough rising options enable storing of raw materials and provide flexibility for food preparation thus giving the customers what they want: fresh food products with perfectly preserved qualities. Low temperature cooking not only preserves the flavour but also retains the scent, softness and succulent taste.

Proofing and retarder-proofer: It controls and rationalizes the proofing process, optimizing times, schedules, and the use of raw materials.

Tapeworm, Anisakis killer and pasteurization: It increases the storage time of food, eliminates parasites, and lets you serve raw meat or fish completely safely.

Positive and negative storage: Keep the dishes and ingredients in your pantry at a controlled temperature and humidity, from +18°C to -21°C.

Crystallization and melting chocolate: From slow melting to crystallization, you always have perfect results thanks to the low level of humidity.

Dehydration: To preserve mushrooms or create garnishes, infusions, freeze-dried products starting from fresh fruit.

Slow cooking: Ideal for sous vide and cooking in a jar, also for multiple preparations and also without operators. Transversal for all markets.

Thawing: It reduces the loss of liquids and therefore the weight of the frozen foods, while maintaining the sensory characteristics.

Continuous cycle: It allows you to have a constant temperature, with a specific setting for each individual baking tray.

Maintenance: The ideal temperature to bring hot or cold dishes to the table, or during the process of preparation and serving ice cream.

Yoghurt: A dedicated function that allows you to obtain, by inserting milk (at 42°C) and live lactic cultures, a creamy and delicate yogurt.
