PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Beer has had a long-standing dominance in the field of draft delivery, and wine on tap has been making headway into bars and restaurants. But the mixed libation has long been relegated mostly to on-demand single-glass mixing.  Until now.  Designed to consistently produce high-quality cocktails from kegs, the Tobin Ellis Signature Draft Cocktail System from Perlick corrects the common problem caused in cocktail keg systems when ingredients settle, which results in poor mix consistency of the carefully crafted components.  One such establishment, the Shine Restaurant and Potion Bar (shineboulder.com) in Boulder, Colo., has created an exclusive line of “Shine Potions” infused with herbs, flowers, and other natural ingredients prepared in small batches. “We were using glass bottles, and it just wasn’t as sexy and took up way more space than the tap system,” says Jill Emich, Owner/Co-Creator of Shine.  The Tobin Ellis system circulates cocktail ingredients in a proprietary 4-port Corny keg with mechanical NSF-certified ingredient-circulating pump.  “Before this draft system, it just wasn’t possible because of the sediment—that is the potent herbs—that we want to keep in there circulating,” notes Emich.  The “Craft on Draft” technology allows operators to serve high-volume signature drinks and provide samples in a few sec.  With the pull of a tap handle.

SELF-CLEANING ROTISSERIE
Why clean a rotisserie oven by hand when the equipment could do the job?  The CONVEX RT608 boasts a fully automatic self-cleaning system. If it doesn’t perform the cleaning process, the grilling procedure won’t engage—guaranteeing absolute hygiene.  Use the rotisserie to visually merchandise product and boost sales.  Other advantages of the CONVEX RT608 include reduced grilling time (1 hr., 9 min.) and energy consumption (12 kWh) when compared with previous models, and compatibility with the CONVEX combi oven.

BOOST OIL LIFE
Masterfil is a patented, NSF-certified fabric filter paper that filters particulate from fryer oil down to 0.5 microns—about the size of a grain of graphite. Very durable and hard to tear or puncture, Masterfil can last for up to 1 week. After daily filtering, employees can scrape sediment off the filter and continue to use it.  It absorbs and retains a minimal amount of oil soak, which reduces the need for top-offs and puts less oil in landfills. It won’t put a strain on pumps and motors, and can be cut to fit any filter machine or fryer filter system.
