Professional kitchens in the HoReCa industry place a premium on efficiency, speed, and consistent food quality. To meet these demands, cooking equipment needs to be not only high-performing, but also easy to use and adaptable. Dacris, a trusted partner in HoReCa solutions, offers customers the Taylor L858 electric grill – an innovative piece of equipment designed to give greater control over the cooking process and remarkable consistency in every dish. Below, we’ll explore the main benefits of this state-of-the-art grill for restaurants, hotels, and other hospitality businesses.
Consistency in Every Dish
In any professional kitchen, consistency is essential for customer satisfaction and maintaining your reputation. The Taylor L858 eliminates guesswork from the cooking process through its one-touch program selection, which ensures consistent preparation parameters.
This system lets staff pre-set the cooking time, temperature, and optimal platen gap for each menu item, so recipes are followed exactly no matter who’s operating the equipment. On top of that, the L858’s programmable electronic controls automatically adjust the cooking platens and applied pressure according to preset settings, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and reducing the chance of human error. What’s more, thanks to USB recipe updates, the grill can be quickly adapted to menu changes or seasonal promotions without repeated staff retraining. This flexibility minimizes mistakes during busy periods and helps keep the kitchen’s workflow running smoothly.
Versatility with Three Independent Cooking Zones
One standout feature of the L858 grill is its three independent cooking zones. This smart design offers the versatility to cook several dishes simultaneously without compromising quality. For kitchens with a diverse menu – from breakfast sandwiches to large burgers – this feature becomes extremely useful. Each cooking zone can be set with different times and temperatures, eliminating the risk of flavor transfer between dishes and letting staff efficiently manage a variety of orders in parallel.
Each zone has its own set of heating elements – three for the lower plate and two for the upper platen – ensuring even heat and fast heat recovery after each cooking cycle. This allows the L858 to keep pace with a demanding kitchen, cooking different products at optimal temperatures at full capacity throughout the day. And during slower periods, operators can shut off one or two cooking zones, saving energy and allowing for gradual equipment cleaning without fully halting kitchen operations.
Even Cooking, Superior Quality
As consumer preferences evolve and food safety standards become stricter, it’s crucial that cooking equipment maintains high quality standards for every dish. The Taylor L858 integrates advanced technology that gives chefs the control needed to consistently meet these standards.
One example is the lower plate’s parallel self-leveling system: it automatically aligns, perfectly parallel, with the upper platen, ensuring even cooking across the entire surface of the product. Additionally, the precise automatic gap-adjustment function between the plates, based on a three-point reference mechanism, guarantees that the thickness and pressure applied to each item stay consistent every time. Through these technical innovations, every portion cooks evenly, looks appetizing, and tastes consistent, eliminating unwanted quality variation from one dish to the next.
Enhanced Safety and Operational Efficiency
The L858 is designed with both staff safety and operational efficiency in mind. Its upper platens can be lowered manually or automatically adjusted to a preset gap, giving flexibility when the kitchen faces a wave of orders. On the safety side, if power is interrupted or an object obstructs the unit, the upper platen automatically opens. This mechanism prevents accidents and protects both operators and the food currently being cooked.
Additionally, the upper platen’s flexible design makes it easy to access cooking surfaces for cleaning, reducing downtime between shifts. And the special non-stick coating on the plate (a “wrap-around release” type) protects the cooking surface and keeps hot areas covered during cleaning. This makes maintaining the grill simpler and safer, letting staff keep the equipment clean without disrupting kitchen workflow.
