Ready for Regeneration!

As the directive ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ has encouraged us to reconsider how we interpret the three traditional R’s, at Burlodge we propose another alternative that will appeal to foodservice operators eager for fresh options. Namely, ‘Rethink, Retherm, Regen.’ Specifically, the Regen 120, our revolutionary small oven that may be the equipment that inspires many operations to reassess whether current microwave technology can keep up with today’s demands.

True, microwave reheats at a rapid rate, but the Regen 120 delivers the solid performance to reheat food at a fast rate without drying or scorching food, while only requiring a 120 Volt connection (also available in 208 Volt at lower amperage). Using convection heat, it will reheat plated or bulk foods and will even cook foods. And if food needs to be browned or crisped, no problem, the Regen delivers.

Constructed of 304 Stainless Steel ensures the Regen 120 is thoroughly durable and easily maintained. It’s available with five wire grids (each measuring 23.5” x 15.75”), with spacing of 2.5” between the grids. The Regen has the capacity to hold up to 30 eight inch plates and occupies the footprint of only one-and-a-half microwaves, which makes it very appealing in terms of maximizing bang for the buck.

This equipment represents the sort of easy to handle technology that gives operations the latitude to do more. Touch screen controls, a programmable control panel that can monitor shelf by shelf reheat/cook times, see-through double-glazed doors, and even an optional humidification system that introduces dry steam into the chamber to help speed cooking times and retain food moisture. It can reheat a china plated meal from a chilled state – with or without a plate lid – or from a frozen state, it can handle pre-plated meals in disposable containers (e.g. Meals on Wheels) and it can accommodate bulk food reheating from a chilled or frozen state, as well.

In a word, it simply outperforms microwave technology. All these assets contribute to giving operators far more control over managing their systems. When you consider the many immediate advantages of adopting this system into your operation, maybe it’s time to start rethinking retherm now and enjoy the remarkable benefits of Regen.
