Workshop in Cook&Chill and sous-vide cooking in London and Dubai

Electrolux and Worldchefs are organising workshops in Luton, Ul and Dubai. These workshops will educate chefs on implementing sustainable practices in the kitchen while maintaining high standards. The chefs will serve quality food, balancing a mix of Electrolux innovative solutions and the chefs’ creativity.

The Aim of the Workshop

The workshop will focus on the Cook & Chill system, new technology that incorporates an oven and blast chiller in a single solution. This innovative approach to sustainable cooking also improves chefs’ daily activities.

The aim of the workshop is to build on, and extend the range of skills, techniques and knowledge previously acquired. This session aims to build on current technical practices and create new culinary knowledge, skills, and techniques in the art of sous vide cooking in modern day cuisine and culinary arts.

The key features and benefits of the Cook & Chill system include:

• An optimized work process incorporating the latest technology

• Higher levels of food safety

• Reduction in food loss and, ultimately, food waste

• Higher profitability for the food service operation

• Explain and demonstrate an understanding of the processes involved for cooking food using the sous vide method

• Apply moist, dry and oil methods of cooking appropriately to a variety of ingredients/commodities/dishes
