In football stadia matchday concourse catering can provide a welcome revenue boost, especially in these troubled times when so many football clubs are struggling. However the menu items need to be quick to cook and quick to serve – the punters don’t want to be kept waiting, they’ve got a match to watch.
Pizza is a popular option. Various different toppings allow the caterer to change the menu from week to week and feature ‘matchday specials’. With the introduction of countertop pizza ovens pizza can be cooked quickly from frozen or raw, cut up into portions and served piping hot.
Apuro supplies the compact, free-standing Whirlpool electric SmartCook pizza oven that can cook a 34 cm pizza in only 90 seconds and is especially suited to fast food production. The pizzas from the SmartCook look and taste every bit as good as those cooked in conventional large wood-fired pizza ovens. What’s more the SmartCook pizza oven requires no tricky cooking techniques or specialist installation.
Measuring only 600 x 548 x 581mm the oven has a patented double cylinder system that transforms it from a conventional convection oven to a super-oven that heats up to the perfect pizza-cooking temperature of 450 degrees C. Electronic temperature control and two fan motors – one on the top and one on the bottom – ensure uniform fast cooking of the pizza from the edges to the middle.
The AGS 646/WP SmartCook pizza oven is backed with a full one year parts and labour warranty.
