When you're in full recipe development mode like have been lately at the School Food Rocks® Training and Innovation Center, having the right kitchen equipment isn't just helpful, it's essential. During a recent recipe project, Chefs Eli and Kim were in the zone, and here’s how our gear made all the difference: 🔪 The Hobart FP150 food processor made fast work of dicing onions and peppers — saving serious prep time. 🔥 The Vulcan Preci Pan gave us even, controlled heat to perfectly sauté those veggies without scorching or overcooking. 💨 Our Vulcan steamer heated the Butterball turkey to temp fast, with zero loss in moisture or flavor. 🔥 And the Vulcan Combi Oven finished it all off, perfectly melting provolone cheese for that ooey-gooey finish every student loves. 💡 When chefs are equipped with the right tools, it’s not just about efficiency, it’s about consistency, food quality, and unlocking creative potential that drives school food forward. #SchoolFoodRocks #TrainingAndInnovation #ButterballK12 #VulcanEquipment #HobartEquipment #ChefTools #K12Innovation #KitchenEfficiency #SmartSolutions #CulinaryExcellence
