Charming terraces. 5 essentials to get yours.

by

Spring and summer lend themselves to go out, enjoy, and do what you have not been able to do in the cold seasons. The weather lends itself to filling the terraces of all venues everywhere.

In spring, the terraces start to fill up at midday and finding a free table in your favorite bar is impossible.

In summer, with the heat, we wait for the sun to go down to enjoy the coolness of the night. We go out in search of a beer or a soft drink with lots of ice to escape from the day. Or maybe you are one of those who are on vacation at the beach, and the beach bar is your place of choice.

It all belongs to our Mediterranean culture of enjoying the street and gathering around a table, but in all of the above cases there is a common denominator:

The terrace.

What would we be without a good terrace to go to. In the sun or in the coolness, as each one prefers.

So, if your business is lucky enough to have a terrace space, here are 5 must-haves you can’t miss:

Style.

If you want your terrace to have its own personality and style, you can’t have the tables and chairs of the beer or soft drink supplier of the day. Yes, it’s cheaper, but do you really want to stand out from the competition?

You know that details are what make the difference between one business and another, and your customers perceive and value those details. That is why you should consider what style you want to give it. Rustic, modern, chill, sober and elegant or colorful and casual. You choose. But the rest should be in line with that style.

Furniture.

The choice of furniture for your terrace is very important. First of all you have to take into accountwhat space you have. If it is an interior space, if the terrace is in the middle of the street or if you are on the beachfront.

Depending on the location of your terrace and the style you have already chosen, purchase the right furniture.

Tip: Think about the customer’s comfort and how they would feel more comfortable in our premises. A happy customer is a loyal customer and we assure you that if they liked the experience, they will come back.

If you have chosen a chill and indoor environment, choose sofas and low tables according to the context. If on the other hand your terrace is in the middle of the street and you have decided to have a casual style, buy tables and chairs to match, to bring color and liveliness to the environment. Or if you have a small space that you want to take advantage of, high tables and aluminum stools may be the best solution.

Sunshades.

Spain is considered “the country of the sun”, it is highly valued by all, but let’s not fool ourselves, when the sun presses, few are able to remain impassive under its heat. Most mortals prefer to have lunch under a good shade. That is why it is essential to have parasols that promote the comfort of the diners.

Choose wisely, depending on your style as we have mentioned above. There are round, octagonal, square parasols, with a wooden or aluminum pole, and with different colors. And don’t forget the base! Let it be cement or concrete.

Household goods.

Household goods in yelowIf you are concerned about bringing a style to your terrace, you must accompany it with a different tableware and tableware to maintain that style. Nowadays you have plenty of possibilities to choose from: You can choose the classic porcelain or opt for more original materials such as wood, slate or melamine.

You can also choose some of the top brands of tableware and glassware.

  • Churchill and its countless models, Stonecast, Profile, Bamboo, Textured Prints, Vintage Prints, Mediterráneo, Buckingham, etc.
  • Costa Verde with its duo tableware, combining circles and ellipses.
  • Alchemy and the Energy and Ambience models.
  • RAK and its Banquet or Classic Gourmet.
  • DasSchone stands out with Miracle and Apicius.
  • Schonwald offers you Connect and Generation.
  • UpPortuasal and its tableware with a woman’s name, Augusta and Aitana.
  • Vista Alegre triumphs with Matrix and Oh Moon
  • One thousand 994 so natural with Cloud and River.

Barbecue.

lotus-grill-xl- yelowA barbecue is the extra that can give your terrace the perfect touch. The BBQ LOTUS GRILLfor example, is small, comfortable and very easy to use. It will make your customers go crazy to book a table at your place.

What are the advantages of this particular barbecue?

  • The time to start cooking does not exceed 4 minutes.
  • You can regulate the temperature with the on/off button of the built-in fan.
  • Thanks to its coating , you can carry it lit without getting burned.
  • Its design prevents grease from falling into the embers.
  • It is completely removable, which makes it easy to clean.

Ecoworld System. Saving and environmental care. Breakfast presentation.

by

Did you miss the event where we presented the advantages of the Ecoworld system?

If you were unable to attend, read on and we’ll tell you all about it.

From Yelow, and at Pilsa Educa’s facilities, we organized a small breakfast demonstration of how the Ecoworld system can benefit your kitchen and your pocket.

We invited to the event several managers of the hospitality industry in Granada, on the one hand, those who already have the Ecoworld system installed so that they could testify the benefits that it brought them and on the other hand, those interested in this new water ozonation system.

We also invited several media outlets so that they could give testimony of what you wanted to tell.

Beginning of the breakfast presentation

Ecoworld and yelowOur manager, Miguel Ángel López, welcomed the attendees to this breakfast demonstration by presenting the concept of easy hospitality. How we intend to reach all restaurateurs in the easiest way possible. Putting our Cash and Carry with more than 17000 references in stock at the disposal of small and big restaurateurs.

He also tells us how in our beginnings we were only dedicated to the installation of kitchens and machinery, but we have undergone an evolution offering 360 solutions to those restaurateurs who need a complete advice for their business.

Within this advice we must name Pilsa Educa, our company dedicated to training in hospitality, essential to continue improving and innovating in the kitchens.

But well, you already know us well enough, let’s get to the heart of the event, the Ecoworld system.

What is the Ecoworld system?

The Ecoworld system is a machine that converts water into liquid ozone. Ozone is the most important ecological disinfectant that exists. We know that it is capable of disinfecting up to 99.6% of all bacteria.

Thanks to ozone, we would avoid the use of chemical products, which are so harmful to the environment.

In addition, it is estimated that the average expenditure on chemicals in the hospitality industry is around €3,000. Imagine saving that €3,000 year after year, and on top of that, helping the environment by being more sustainable.

We cannot forget the other advantages of the Ecoworld system. On the one hand, food preservation. Did you know that washing food with ozone can extend its shelf life up to 5 days longer than usual?

And on the other hand, the health of your employees. The use of gloves will no longer be necessary

that ozone does not harm the skin, in fact it helps to keep it healthy.

And how can I apply all these advantages to my business?

We have customized solutions for each case. We bring the ozone to your business so you can see in situ the advantages we offer, making a pre-installation and demonstration of how it works.

ecoworld demoAnd as an example, we took our guests to the part where Pilsa Educa has installed the Ecoworld machine and we demonstrated how to clean an extractor grill with the Ecoworld system. Here are some before and after photos.

And to top it all off, we enjoyed this great breakfast prepared by Carlos Caballero Sanguino, our great chef from Pilsa Educa.

All this, broadcasted from our facilities by the radio program COPE Granada. Here you have the link to enjoy it:

We would like to thank all the hospitality professionals who joined us that day, Pilsa Educa for lending us their facilities and serving us that great breakfast, Ecoworld’s colleagues for the demonstration, the communication professionals who joined us in the event and especially our customers for sharing their experience.

Tips on how to clean pots and cookware

by

In the world of hospitality it is essential to keep our crockery, cutlery, pots, pans, frying pans and cookware in perfect condition. In addition to keeping them clean, we must go a step further and always have a totally disinfected and debacterized kitchen.

It is normal that over time, the exteriors of the pots and pans get the color of burnt, or that some cooked food has passed to a better life by some small oversight. To solve these possible mishaps, we propose several ways and tricks to leave your cookware as good as new.

Sodium bicarbonate.

sodium bicarbonate

One of the properties of baking soda is that it contains natural acid particles. This gives it great properties for use as a cleaning product.

Try sprinkling in the bottom of your pots a little of this product, about two tablespoons, add a splash of water and bring it to a boil. Wait a few minutes. Add baking soda again, this time on your sponge and use your usual detergent. You will see how the grease comes out more easily. Don’t forget to rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean, dry cloth.

Vinegar.

vinegar

Try using the vinegar directly on the pan, pour it on the surface, either inside or outside, wait a few seconds and scrub with the sponge. Depending on the type of material of the pots you could use an aluminum scouring pad, but we recommend that you use it only on the outside of your cookware, and ONLY if the material allows it, as you could scratch your pots and we do not want them to lose their properties.

Vinegar is a great degreaser and disinfectant, it has the advantage of being totally natural as well as being a good product to eliminate all types of odors.

Lemon.

lemon pot cleaning

Lemon can also be used to shine your pots, pans and cookware. Cut the lemon in half and rub it on the part where you have the grease stain or burn, wait a few minutes and try cleaning as usual. The lemon cleans and disinfects and leaves the surfaces shiny.

Water and salt.

water and salt cleaning pots

This simple method can be useful if the food is not stuck to the surface of the pan.

Make a first cleaning with your usual detergent, once only the stuck parts remain, pour a finger of water and add a handful of salt, bring it to a boil and let it stand for about 20 minutes. Clean again with the sponge and the detergent and you will see how your food stains will disappear.

Degreasing products.

degreaser to clean pots and pans

There are a multitude of degreasing products on the market that help to completely clean cookware and other items. They are just as effective as the previous methods, but we have found one drawback: they are products based on chemical reactions. They are less respectful with the environment and with the health of your skin than the methods we have proposed above.

At Yelow we are committed to the environment. We believe that the hospitality business must do its bit to make this world more sustainable. Working on chemical free cleaning and making our restaurants “ecofriendly” spaces.

Finally, we propose a method that will enhance the cleaning and disinfection of your pots and pans and other kitchen utensils. Yelow installs the Ecoworld system . An effective and practical solution that consists of an ozone treatment that achieves a high cleaning and degreasing power, without having harmful effects on our skin, and without the use of chemical products, so harmful to the environment and our health.

All these methods will help you to keep your pots, pans and cookware in perfect condition.

Silicone, stainless steel, wood… Discover the best (and healthiest) kitchen utensils

by

Wooden, clay, steel, glass… From the forbidden copper to the modern silicone. The history of our stoves is extensive and we have been acquiring and discarding all kinds of materials for the manufacture of our kitchenware.

Here we tell you which are the best materials for cooking:

Wood: the usual

Wood is a porous material that can seep moisture and cause bacteria to grow, which has earned it a reputation for being unhygienic, but depending on what utensil and what you use it for, it can be a very appropriate material. Spoons (for example) protect our pans and have a lower risk of generating these bacteria.

For domestic use, we suggest bamboo, which is prepared to withstand high temperatures and is very resistant.

Glass: clean and stable

Who hasn’t baked (or microwaved) macaroni in the typical glass tupperware?

It is ideal for the oven because it withstands very high temperatures. It is a clean material that does not transfer flavors or other elements of its composition to the food, which makes it one of the healthiest materials for cooking.

Stainless steel: harder than steel

Every professional kitchen is (or should be) covered with stainless steel. Work tables, cold rooms, baking plates…

Stainless steel is one of the most heat-stable materials and more resistant to shocks and falls, which makes it practically eternal. In addition, it is easy to clean, just hot water and a little detergent. However, do not go near a frying pan because steel utensils irreversibly scratch Teflon.

Silicone: the jewel in the crown

It is the ideal material. It is of natural origin and has many hygienic qualities, making it ideal for domestic and professional use.

Among its many advantages:

  • Non-porous
  • It is comfortably flexible (remember that cake pan that unmolds so easily).
  • Non-adherent, less soiling and better cleaning.
  • And it doesn’t burn! A few seconds after being in contact with a heat source, the silicone cools down and we can touch it without risk of burns. Perfect if you have children at home.

Cast iron: those pots that weigh so much

Cast iron pots and pans have taken over our homes in recent years. They come in many colors and sizes, so it is easy to see them in mini format to put tapas or individual portions.

It is a good material because it does not contain glazes, which avoids the risk of transferring harmful elements to the food.

And finally, the mud

They are very popular because they transmit heat slowly. They like them because they transmit heat little by little, but make sure that they are not enameled because the varnish could contain heavy metals that can pass into the food.

In this post we have summarized the most used materials in kitchen utensils, choosing the one that best suits your needs is up to you.

We will (always) recommend that you choose trusted brands with EU Quality Certification, which accredit the quality and origin of the materials, such as those we distribute at Yelow.

Take a look at our catalog, you will surely find what you need. And if you have any doubts, contact us without obligation.

Tips to be an ‘ecofriendly’ restaurant

by

Investing in sustainability is proven to have a positive impact on the environment – and your pocketbook – in many different ways.

On the one hand, more and more customers are looking for restaurants that share their values and choose restaurants where the food, in addition to being healthy, is also sustainable.

On the other hand, there are efficient appliances that contribute to reduce the environmental impact, in addition to considerably reducing your bill at the end of the month.

We thought it would be interesting for you to find out what steps you can take to make your restaurant more sustainable, while at the same time generating value for your company and differentiating yourself from your competition:

Caring for the environment is everyone’s responsibility / Unplash

1 / Starting from scratch: eco-design or sustainable architecture

If you are starting to design your restaurant, you should know that there are many systems developed to reduce your environmental impact.

You can implement a lighting system that is designed to optimize efficiency,install faucets with motion sensors that reduce water waste, decorate with furniture made from recycled materials or install photovoltaic solar panels that favor the use of renewable energy, among other systems.

2 / Investing in efficient appliances

Ovens, dishwashers, air conditioning… Restaurants need many electrical appliances for their daily operation.

In YELOW we have it very clear because we distribute kitchen machinery and equipment with energy efficiency certifications that help our customers that help our customers to reduce their consumption and, consequently, their electricity bill.

Using local and seasonal products is another way to cook more responsibly / Unplash.

3 / Don’t throw away, reinvent recipes

Before throwing food away, think about what you could invent with it. It is not a question of using outdated products, but to revive the cooking of our grandmothers, when with a stew, they ate three days.

Another option would be to donate your leftover food to organizations that work with people without means, such as soup kitchens and homeless shelters.

4 / Promotes responsible consumption

It creates menus that are aware of the overexploitation of resources, works with suggestions, seasonal products and KM.0 that motivate responsible consumption of our food, favor the reduction of aggressive cultivation and stimulate local business.

5 / Paper is OUT

Printing menus, minutes and suggestion cards generate a constant waste of paper that you can easily reduce through digital letters.

Whiteboards are a more analog method, but equally sustainable and ideal for going paperless in your restaurant.

6 / Use sustainable products

It uses napkins and take-away containers made from recycled materials, biodegradable kitchenware and eco-friendly dishwashers, among other products, to promote more socially and environmentally friendly consumption and significantly reduce the environmental damage caused by waste.

4 trends your restaurant wants to try

by

Starting a new year invites us to renew ourselves, to consider new changes, so today we tell you what trends in the restaurant sector your business wants to try. In general terms, we see a healthier consumer, who is looking for new experiences and wants to share them with others. Take note!

ONLINE Mode

We are in a time where digital transformation is here to stay and it is not alien to the world of catering. We have a consumer who visits our restaurant and in parallel shares and values his experience, immediately reaching family or friends and satisfaction or dissatisfaction, leaves a digital footprint that must be taken care of because it affects brand reputation.

Additionally, it is essential to have a presence in digital media such as websites and social networks, as they become a key source of consultation for your business.

The consumer is also looking for ease and the growth in online reservations is advancing year after year. “40% of restaurants already receive online reservations, while 90% have profiles on social networks and 45% have their own website”, are the main conclusions of the Annual Report of the Hospitality Industry in Madrid, conducted by the Association, TripAdvisor and ElTenedor.

Ahh! and don’t forget that consumers are now fascinated by sharing on networks the best photos of the restaurant they visit or the food they order in your business, so take care of your look, because it matters a lot!

Attractive Experiences

When consumers go to a place to eat, good food is now not enough, as strange as it may seem. Increasingly, consumers are looking to pair a delicious meal with an engaging dining experience.

This is why concepts such as multisensory food with illuminated tableware, for example, are born, seeking to evoke emotions and stimulate the senses. It is clear that the challenge now is to provide a 360-degree experience, very positive and that leaves a very good taste!

Health Food

The importance of taking care of oneself (or fitnsess trend) is clearly impacting the world of Catering 2019. Consumers are increasingly interested in finding healthy menus, low in calories, high nutritional power, taste and exquisite presentation.

*Photo Unsplash

Here salads, light menus, creams, special drinks such as juices and smoothies featuring fruits and vegetables should be included in the offer of those looking for “healthier” snacks.

These places stand out for the organic and natural aspect that their decoration offers, to provide a pleasant and complete gastronomic experience. And they also look great when it comes to uploading photos to Instagram.

Special Menus

Just as the “healthy” world has specific needs, there are trends such as veganism and vegetarianism that require an offer of menus different from the conventional ones. It is also the case of people with food intolerances such as gluten or lactose that demand different products and attention.

In 2019, the foodservice sector expects this approach to see significant growth during the year and is sure to focus its attention on offering a variety of spaces that cater to this consumer as well.

Down to the wire on those extra pounds? Tips to make your healthy eating resolution easier

Summer tends to leave, along with the photos of the beach, another kind of memories: those extra kilos that accompany the excesses at the beach bar. So if your back-to-school resolution is to get on a plan and start eating healthier… congratulations, because our chef Carlos Caballero is going to make it a little easier for you. Avoid boring salads with only oil and vinegar and take note of these simple tips and tricks.

Yogurt is a perfect ally for salad dressing / Y.

Dressings

  • The traditional vinaigrette has three quarters oil, one quarter vinegar and salt. Change the salt for soy, the sesame or coconut oil and the vinegar for lime juice, lemon juice or mustard.
  • Add aromatic herbs such as spices, some sweet element such as honey or orange juice (but in this case, I raise the salt point a little).
  • Say NO to vinaigrettes with 18 ingredients… As in fashion, less is more. Of course, if the salad is not a side dish, but the main course, then, complicate your life a little and try new things like introducing vegetables and nuts in moderation.
  • Hearty salads (endive, raw cabbage, etc.) look great with creamy dressings made, for example, with yogurt and lemon juice, white pepper, chopped mint and olive oil.
  • If yogurt does not convince you when it comes to dressing, try mashed avocado seasoned with oil, paprika, salt and lemon.
  • Tomato can also be a great ally as a dressing. Chop it into very small pieces and macerate it with thyme, chives, chilli, crushed garlic, oil, salt and nuts.
  • Do you love garlic but find it indigestible? Rub it on the plate where you are going to serve the salad, so you will have flavor without having to eat it.

Try mixing all kinds of greens, fruits, seeds and vegetables in your salad. / Y.

Tricks

  • Buy from Yelow a lettuce spinner. It is a super cheap but very practical kitchen utensil for washing and moving salads.
  • Use whatever you have in the fridge to add to your salads: roasted peppers, mushrooms, wild asparagus, broccoli, legumes, cooked pasta, quinoa, brown rice, etc.
  • Seeds such as chia or sesame will give your salad an exceptional texture and flavor.
  • Fruit is also a great ally for salads. Try orange or mango segments.

Choose in Yelow the model of salad spinner you like the most. / Y.

10 tips to make the perfect pizza

by

Who said pizza is not healthy food? Enjoy a classic of Italian cuisine with these recommendations from our chef Carlos Caballero.

Make your own dough. It’s much easier than you think.

1. Making homemade dough

The first and most basic tip of all is to lose your fear and start making pizza dough at home. It is very simple and once you make it two or three times you will realize that it can be done almost without staining. Each master has his own recipe, I will give you the one I like the most:

  • Ingredients for the dough:
    -0,5 l. of water
    -800 gr. of flour for bread. White but not too refined.
    -22 gr. of salt
    -5 gr. of brewer’s yeast.
  • Ingredients for baking:
    – 50 gr. of 12 months old Grana Padano cream cheese.
    -30 gr. of smoked scamorza (a semi-hard cheese typical of Italian cuisine made with cow’s milk. It is a cheese very similar to mozzarella).
    -24 months Grana Padano grated on the edges for gratin.
  • Preparation:
    Pour the water into a bowl and mix it little by little with the flour and salt. Then add the brewer’s yeast and continue kneading for 20 minutes, making sure that the dough is not too compact. Once ready, let it rest for 4 hours covered with a cloth. After this time, cut the dough into round portions of between 100 and 200 grams each, according to the taste of the diner, and let it rest for another 2 hours. Bake the disk of dough with a base of 12 months Grana Padano cream and scamorza. Halfway through baking, spread the Grana Padano au gratin on the edges.
    After cooking:
    -30 gr. pasteurized egg yolks
    -30 gr. 24-month Grana Padano chips
    -60 gr. crispy smoked bacon
    -Pepper powder.
    -Lime skin.
    Once cooked, pour the yolks over the pizza and add the bacon, lime peel and pepper powder.

    2. Set the oven to maximum temperature

    One of the main keys to the success of a good pizza is the oven in which it is made. In the wood-fired ovens of restaurants, temperatures of 400-500ºC can be reached. In our case, we are not lucky enough to have a professional pizza oven, so we are going to have to make do with our kitchen oven. In principle, the two ovens most commonly found in homes are electric and convection ovens.

    The cooking times of the pizza will be different in each case:
    1. Convection: In this case we will put the oven at almost the maximum 240-250ºC with the fan function on putting the pizza in the central tray. At this temperature we will have the pizza ready in 4-5 minutes.
    2. Electric: these ovens transfer the temperature to the pizza worse and therefore we have to have the pizza between 10-12 minutes in the oven. A trick is to start by putting the pizza on the lower tray of the oven so that the lower resistance makes the dough crisp and then raise it the last two minutes to the upper tray to get the pizza to brown evenly.

    3. Use a stone for the oven

    This is optional but the truth is that a good stone will cost you between 25-35€ and if you like cooking and it is one of these things that if you take care of it, it will last forever. The good thing about the baking stone is that when you put the dough in it, it loses the moisture much faster so you can get the dough much crispier.

    4. Pre-bake the dough

    This is a trick that will come in handy for those who do not have an oven stone. It consists of putting the dough already extended but without any ingredient 1-2 minutes in the oven, just enough to lose a little elasticity and ready. In this way we also get to remove moisture from the dough and thus we get more crispy.

    5. Use homemade tomato

    This may seem silly, but it is not. Pizzas with a natural tomato base are quite noticeable. In general, we will always look for the tomato sauce to be as dense as possible, and therefore, have less water content, and in this way we do not moisten the dough too much and we get that crunchy touch that we like so much.

    Prepare your own natural tomato sauce.

    6. Fresh mozzarella or real cheeses

    Cheese is an ingredient that cannot be missing in your pizza.

    For my pizza I usually use Grana Padano or scamorza but we can use any cheese we have at home to put on the pizzas, whether it is cured sheep’s cheese, goat’s cheese, etc. …. When I use fresh mozzarella, it is usually the one that comes in individual plastic bags with a little water. Now, when you use this fresh mozzarella, I recommend that you squeeze it with both hands with a kitchen towel so that it loses the maximum humidity and does not spoil the pizza.

    7. Prepare some ingredients in the frying pan beforehand.

    Another trick I usually do is to put some of the ingredients of the pizzas in the pan beforehand. For example, if I am going to put onion or bell pepper, first I poach them over low heat in a pan with a little oil and then I put them on the pizza. This way we avoid burnt or toasted ingredients. I also use this trick in pizzas with eggplant, artichoke, mushrooms, chili peppers, etc.

    8. Do not use too many ingredients

    Another basic thing is to be very clear about what you want to make the pizzas with. A pizza has to have a base that can be tomato, one or two ingredients, and then a topping such as a pesto or an olive paste, etc. If you put too many ingredients on the pizza, you will end up with a pizza that tastes like nothing and you will not be able to differentiate the flavors.

    9. Add the fresh ingredients at the end

    Another one of my tricks is to put some raw ingredients once you take the pizza out of the oven. For example, this works very well if you use cecina or bresaola, anchovies, foie, etc. This way what you get is that the ingredient is not toasted in the oven and the pizza has much more flavor.

    10. A little Parmesan or other cheese for garnish.

    Finally, I usually grate a little grana padano on the edges of the dough before baking. I use an ordinary potato peeler, to get the cheese to stay in flakes. The truth is that it gives it a very good flavor.
