Amidst the hustle and bustle of the Hilton London Metropole, the kitchen is a hive of activity. Chefs dart between stations, preparing dishes for the hotel’s numerous restaurants, bars, and lounges. The aroma of freshly cooked meals fills the air as staff meticulously plate dishes for room service and banquets.
The London Metropole is the most prominent Hilton outside of the USA, with 1,100 bedrooms and the capacity to cater to up to 2,000 people in its banqueting department. The kitchen operations here are nothing short of a logistical marvel. Enter the UNOX EVEREO ® range, a game-changer that has revolutionized how this iconic hotel manages its food preparation and service.
Chef Paul Bates’ Experience with EVEREO ®
Paul Bates, the Executive Chef at Hilton London Metropole, shares his experience: “The EVEREO ® has changed the way we operate. We can prepare well in advance, and the food holds absolutely beautifully. The quality it maintains over time is unparalleled.”
The Innovation of EVEREO ®
The EVEREO ® is a hot fridge that preserves cooked meals for days above 63°C, using precise temperature and atmosphere controls. This innovation allows the kitchen staff to prepare food in advance and store it at the optimal serving temperature for up to three days. The result? A more organized, stress-free kitchen environment and consistently high-quality food.
Maintaining Food Quality
“We did an experiment with chicken thighs, holding them in the EVEREO ® for eight hours. When we tasted them, they were just as good as if they had been freshly cooked,” Bates recalls. This ability to maintain food quality over extended periods is a significant advantage for a hotel that caters to diverse guest needs, including room service at all hours.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Beyond improving food quality and service efficiency, the EVEREO ® also offers substantial energy savings. “The low energy consumption, using only a 13-amp plug, is brilliant. We’re very concerned about the environment, and this helps with our carbon footprint,” Bates notes. These energy savings are a significant benefit for a hotel of this size.
