grill. What’s more, a Mibrasa oven can retain temperatures of between 250°C and 350°C for an entire service whilst ensuring a heat-free kitchen environment for chefs. Cooking at high temperatures sears and grills the product, sealing in its juices and enhancing its flavour. When the cooking is done, cleaning up is made easy thanks to an integrated ash drawer and grease collector.

Xpresschef – Delivering delicious food, fast Speed of service is vital, especially during peak times - so operators will need a powerful and flexible high speed oven which is easy for staff to use and can deliver delicious hot food, fast. This is where the new XpressChef™ 3i comes in to its own as it provides best in its class speed and performance in a compact, front of house footprint and a choice of colours.

The XpressChef™ 3i runs off a standard 13 amp socket and is available with an impressive 4000 or 5000 watts of power and the combination of three cooking technologies – impingement, convection and microwave, makes cooking a variety of foods on-demand quick and easy whether toasting, grilling, baking or steaming. Ease of use is another hallmark of the 3i as the 7” True-Touch™ HD touchscreen incorporates a fully customisable smartphone-like display with a scrollable image-based menu – so quality results are assured regardless of staff skill levels. The ventless 3i can be positioned anywhere saving on the expense of ventilation systems and also benefits from a number of safety features including a cool to the touch exterior and a unique, cleverly engineered gasket-less inner door, which drops well below the cooking surface for the safe removal of food from the cavity.

Over the sea to Skye

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were in high spirits at Portree, in the Isle of Skye, in the Highlands of Scotland on Thursday.

It was their first trip to the island since 2009 and they made the most of their return visit. Of course they were dressed for the occasion in traditional tartan.

During their stay at the island, they tucked into fish and chips at the harbour from Portree fisherman Dan Corrgiall’s shop.

The royal couple, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, were serenaded by Gaelic singer Robert Robertson, the frontman for folk-rock band Tide Lines, in front of the backdrop of Ben Tianavaig.

He said: “It wasn’t nerve-wracking, the duke and duchess have a really down-to-earth way about them. And because they have attended the Royal National Mod, they have a real interest in that, and in Gaelic.

“It just felt like a really nice conversation, and it was a real pleasure.”

Their visit comes as the Queen has been staying at Balmoral Castle for her first summer holiday at her Scottish estate following the death of her husband Prince Philip in April.
