A concept appliance designed to showcase the capabilities of the wider range; the stand will be home to the unique Berner Induction Table. Revealing state-of-the-art features including Pan Quality Control (PQC), where the unit electronically assesses the quality of the pan and precisely adapts the heat accordingly. Another unique feature is the Berner Move Function, allowing the operator to control power by simply moving a pan around the cooking zone. Simple to use, a chef can actively move a pan away from the centre to reduce the power, or back towards the centre to increase the power. Finally, the Warming Function automatically holds a pan, and its contents once a desired temperature has been reached. Regulating power, the intuitive unit allows the operator to continue to work on other dishes, safe in the knowledge their pan is not over-cooking on the Berner hob.

Continuing the focus on induction, the Valentine and CuisinEquip stand (H1830) will also be home to the latest induction oven range technology from German manufacturer, Locher. A sleek and highly efficient 4 x 5kW, the L227209 is a three-phase Induction Oven Range complete with individually controlled heat zones and a full-sized 1/1 GN electric oven. Ideal for kitchens without a gas supply or for those looking for the latest energy-efficient solutions, the Locher Induction Oven Range would suit traditional back-of-house kitchens or customer-facing prep kitchens thanks to its eye-catching finish.

Those familiar with the Valentine & CuisinEquip range will also find a complete range of quality, reliable and robust fryers from the Swiss-manufactured Valentine range. Known globally for their build quality and dependability, thousands of chefs rely on their Valentine equipment to produce consistent fried foods day, after day.
