The changing tastes and lifestyles of today’s consumers led the NAFEM Show 2007 in Atlanta. Nowhere was the consumer’s influence felt more than Booth 2001 where Enodis and its leading brands demonstrated how operators can adapt to stay profitable.

More than 30 new products were introduced at NAFEM this year. Several of these were featured in live demonstrations by the Enodis Culinary Group, comprised of chefs from Cleveland Range, Enodis, Garland and Lincoln. Every 30 minutes, live demonstrations drew capacity crowds to the Enodis Culinary Theatre. NAFEM attendees learned the importance of understanding consumer trends and how those intersect with food choices. Enodis has identified seven key trends impacting menus today and ways the latest Enodis equipment innovations can help.

Frymaster introduced the Protector™ fryer, an innovative, oil-conserving fryer designed to help operators do more with less. The Protector fryer takes smart frying to the next level with revolutionary SMART4U™ technology that protects the quality of the oil so consistently great-tasting food can be prepared without changing the oil for up to 4 weeks or more.

Fry station productivity is advanced because the units’ production capability is equal to a 50 pound frypot while using only 30 pounds of oil. That’s a 40 percent savings every time the oil is changed. And the Protector fryer does it all while posting an industry-leading ENERGY STAR rating of 85.6 percent.

To explore the next flavour, technique or ingredient, operators need a range that won’t hold them back. The new Garland Restaurant Range was inspired by chefs to help empower creativity with unmatched durability and performance.

For more than a century, Garland, has listened to the needs of chefs worldwide, engineering ranges so intuitive and adaptive that they take cooking to the next level with a variety of industry-leading features and benefits. These include best-in-class durability, balanced burners, expanded cook tops and unmatched griddle accuracy.
