Fire by TurboChef – The New Rapid Cook Pizza Oven

Equipment trends in the foodservice industry are forever changing, they are constantly evolving to reflect the interests of chefs and consumers. Within the last few years, there has been an increase in tech-based equipment, which many would argue has revolutionized the way people cook and interact with food. With kitchen space shrinking and rent prices going up many restaurant owners are choosing kitchen equipment that is smaller and can perform multiple functions to optimize their space.

One of the leaders in space-saving equipment and rapid cooking is TurboChef Technologies, Inc. With innovation and top performance in mind, TurboChef has redefined cooking efficiency by designing rapid-cook ovens that are versatile, user-friendly, and save on energy. TurboChef ovens cook faster and produce consistent results without compromising quality.

One of our favourite units by TurboChef is The Fire, which creates artisan hearth-style pizza anywhere. With temperatures that reach 842°F/450°C, The Fire can cook 14-inch fresh dough pizzas in as little as 90 seconds. This is due largely to TurboChef’s patented High-h air impingement technology which decreases cook times by 40–50% compared to traditional batch cooking. Another great feature is that The Fire is ventless so it can be placed virtually anywhere without type I or type II ventilation.

Russell Hendrix is lucky enough to have one of these machines in our new test kitchen in Ottawa. Where we’ve had the opportunity to use the Fire oven and show our clients just how powerful and convenient this unit is. In February, Les Toques Blanche, a group of Chefs & Foodservice professionals in Ottawa, hosted a meeting at our Ottawa test kitchen, where they were able to get hands-on experience with the Fire unit and see just how powerful this product is.
