New vs. second hand catering machinery

25 de June de 2019 by wordpress@trevenque.es

Are you thinking of starting a new business or changing and giving a new look to the one you have? It is at this point that the typical question arises: What to do with the machinery – buy new or second-hand?

In this article we offer you 5 keys to decide whether to buy new or used machinery.

Machinery warranties.

New products have a minimum warranty of 2 years. This allows you to maintain security when using it, because if any problem arises with the machine, you have a technical service behind you to solve it.

This is not the case with second-hand machines. They do not have a real warranty that covers repairs to the machine. So you may have to spend what you originally saved by buying a second-hand machine on repairs. It may also happen that the machinery is older than you think and has a shorter life than expected.

Technical service.

Once you have acquired any new machinery, you have a commercial company behind you that, in most cases, is in charge of training you in the use of the new machine, offers you a technical service and takes care of its maintenance.

If you decide to purchase second-hand machinery, it is usual that you do not have the necessary technical service to start up the machinery with guarantees.

Technology.

If you buy a new generation machine, it will most likely have more features than older models, better energy efficiency, new cooking techniques, new functions to improve cleaning, etc.

Second-hand machinery, on the other hand, is often technologically obsolete.

Asymmetric information (Lack of information).

What criteria should we follow when buying second-hand machinery? To take our word for it from the seller and think that the machine has not suffered any breakdowns? Or how long the machine has been in use? At first glance, a second-hand machine we will not be able to tell if it is good or bad.

Economic savings.

This is the point where the acquisition of second-hand machinery stands out. Buying new equipment can be expensive, and it is obvious that the cost of a second-hand machine will be lower.

Product catalog.

It is more usual to find a new product or machinery at your trusted machinery supplier than to have to go to the second hand market, having to wait for the machine we want to buy, at the price we are willing to pay and with the determined time of use.

Remember that within the Yelow catalog you can find everything you need to open or renovate your hospitality business.

After these arguments for and against buying second-hand machinery, what do you prefer, do you prefer to have your machinery refurbished or to buy it second-hand?

Ecoworld System. Saving and environmental care. Breakfast presentation.

3 de June de 2019 by wordpress@trevenque.es

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

Our 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.

And 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

2 de May de 2019 by wordpress@trevenque.es

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
