Product Highlights & PACOJET Special Offer

Hello All – there has been some delay in my blogging – still learning the tricks of iPad and traveling! However back on track now
NEWS
Host Milan was an enormous show, of 18 Halls, exhibitors and a lot to see. Unfortunately nothing stands out as a ‘new’ product to tell you about, but many developments in technology which we will be following up.

NEW RELY PRODUCT – POLYPROPYLENE BALLS for Sous Vide
Sous Vide is increasing in popularity and the diversity it provides the chef is huge, product consistency, quality and time saving probably the main features. However, you may be aware that evaporation could cause a problem with long term sous vide, and a new product RELY have is POLYPRPOYLENE BALLS which sit as a blanket on the water to assist with maintaining the water volume and prevent evaporation – some further information
Polypropylene is lightweight and an excellent electrical insulator. It has a hard, very smooth surface that prevents bacteria and resists chemical corrosion
o The spheres float on the surface of liquid in open tank and thereby greatly reduce the exposed liquid surface area – up to 90%.
o Dramatically diminish objectionable fumes and odours.
o A blanket of spheres also insulates heated liquid reducing evaporation and heat requirements.
o Spheres are hollow and will float on any liquid. Being smooth they ensure a much tighter surface cover.
o Polypropylene, non-toxic and able to withstand continuous working temperatures of 110° C (230°F).

HOST And where to stay in Milan

There is not a lot to report. The HOST show is enormous, 18 pavilions of exhibitors, showing much similar equipment, however we have managed to find a few anew interesting items, not equipment, ther is nothing new to report, many vacuum machines, some sous vide , no exciting new toys to report unfortunately, but one day to go so will keep looking.
We did however find outstanding accommodation in Milan, at a B & B , The Luxury Milano, and it lives up to it’s name,offering quiet, well positioned accommodation, fabulous breakfasts, pictures attached, assistance and great advice on local eating houses, overall A great find and one that should be shared. Andrea is the owner and his knowledge and willingness to help at every question or request is exceptional. href=”http://www.theluxurymilano.com”>
Final day at Host found a few interesting new products to tell you about once back in Australia. !
Sorry I still have not managed to upload a picture from iPad!!
Off to visit a bakery in Seregno, Milano. Corti Bakery , Edoardo is an artisan baker whose love if his profession is evident in his product.

News and Travel Blog

Travel News
Journey has begun to Milan with a quick stopover in Singapore to visit Ryan Clift at Tippling Club, service his Pacojet and Dine!
Ryan has opened a new place in Tiong Bahru district called Open Door Policy, well worth a visit for lunch, would recommend you try and book !
Another quick stopover in Freiburg, Germany we visited Cafe Decker in Village of Staufen. Robert returned the following day to meet Pastry Chef and Chocolatier and see their kitchen.

Interesting Product information
NITRAL BOWL – this has been a slow mover in the market place, however we gleaned interesting information from Ryan at Tippling Club who uses a lot of nitrogen for his menu and cocktails. He has been using the nitral bowl for 2 years now, and has noticed a significant cost saving in nitrogen. He puts nitrogen into the bowl, allows the bowl to cool and nitrogen to dissipate, then tops up and uses the nitrogen for preparation of menu items, without having to continue to top up the bowl. Using the nitral bowl is a food safe method for nitrogen use where polystyrene boxes are not.

Sorry I am still learning the ropes with blogs, pictures and iPad ! So have not learnt how to upload the pics from iPad to blog yet – hopefully next writing might have achieved this if it can be done!
Dont forget the SOUS VIDE PROMOTION IS STILL AVAILABLE until send of this month.

BLOG2 News, New Product, Specials

A great article in the Melbourne Magazine featured in the Age last week highlighting many of the ‘toys’ chefs like to have available. We visit HOST Milan in the coming weeks and hope to find some new exciting tools to whet the creative appetite.

POP UP EVENTS are becoming a regular feature in many calendars and equipment for these is now available for HIRE from RELY.

NEW PRODUCT

Superbags are a small low cost item but very beneficial in the kitchen for straining, purees, clarifying stock – here is a comment from Tony Milroy at Lochiel House http://www.lochielhouse.com.au/

“On a recent trip to Tassie to be a guest chef at Saffire, I had to pack a few essentials – one of which was my ultra fine super bag. It is so convenient and economical and nothing else has the ability to trap small particles like this bag, giving me a superior end product. I have many uses for these bags, apart from the obvious stocks and sauces, I also use the bags for my nut milks, infused oils, cordials and now my latest passion yoghurts and curds.”

PS – Lochiel House – Kurrajong Heights, is a beautiful weekend getaway relaxing spot and absolutely wonderful dining experience – the complete package.

All About Sous Vide And Rely News

This a first attempt to write a blog- bear with me – as we close in on departure for HOST Milan I am keen to practice my blog skills so attendance at the Show can bring news to readers.

This month as seen the opening of TASTE – a shop with all things culinary – we have aimed to source product that is new, innovative and creative, for both the Chef and home. A little taste of Taste ware.

The shop is open Thursday, Friday 10am to 3pm, and Saturday 9am to 1pm (this week closing at 12noon so we can all cheer on the CATS !!!). Extended opening times will happen as summer approaches and the shop can opened for Chefs to visit.

Sous Vide is gaining wide popularity with Chefs and home enthusiasts– following is some informative reading . Whilst there are many options available for water baths, portable , and bench top units it is the new Sous Vide Professional Chef Series from Polyscience that is gaining popularity.

‘sous vide’ means under pressure

It is a method of cooking food under pressure – ie. Food that has

been vacuumed, and cooked at precise temperature in a circulatory water bath.

RELY – Culinary Technology proudly introduce -

Sous Vide PROFESSIONAL Chef Series – a new tool for the Chefs kitchen of efficient design, a small footprint and elegant in appearance.

Specific features of Sous Vide PROFESSIONAL Chef Series include -

° Large backlit display for easy reading

° Compact unit

° Precise temperature control to within 0.1°

° Temperature readings available in Celsius or Fahrenheit

° Control cooking liquid circulation level by easily adjustable pump pressure outlet

° High-grade stainless steel heating coil and pump ensure lasting, trouble-free performance

° Flexible – use in the kitchen or catering on location

° Easy to read instructions

° ‘Sous Vide Cooking’ Book

° Protective Travel and Storage bag

° DVD

Chefs have used scientific equipment to cook ‘sous vide,’ for some time now.

In 2010 Polyscience answered the call and designed the Sous Vide Professional, and in 2011 released the Sous Vide PROFESSIONAL Chef Series.

The design and functionality of this equipment has addressed all the requirements for the Chef – ie. ease of -

° Use

° Cleaning

° Service

The process of sous vide cooking is gaining popularity within the industry. This method offers the Chef the ability to prepare ahead, regenerate quickly and provide the time to ‘be more creative.’

A word from the manufacturer -

“No vision of tomorrow can be complete without considering the environment. As a global company, we realize everything we do has far-reaching impact. That is why our products are in accordance with RoHS guidelines to eliminate harmful substances like lead and cadmium. Through a consistent effort we’ve decreased energy consumption by 22% over the last two years alone, even though production has increased of thirty percent. Our products are designed to be energy efficient and environmentally-friendly as well. We gladly offer equipment recycling “

The Sous Vide PROFESSIONAL Chef Series fulfills the requirements in today’s busy kitchen by being a working tool that is precise in its temperature control, circulation, and ability to run 24 hours day. The price point is acceptable and has received positive feedback from the industry and home enthusiast.

Achieve perfect, repeatable results every time
