Debenhams go ventless with Merrychef...
Debenhams Brand Equipment Buyer, Melanie Oliver, comments on the Merrychef EC403:
The handy location means Café Venue has no ventilation facilities. And with a popular
range of hot paninis and pastries on the menu, Café Venue’s catering team needed a cooking
solution to eliminate the risk of food odours. The Merrychef EC403 with built in catalytic
converter did just that. ‘I was amazed at the quality of the product when Merrychef first
demonstrated the EC403,’ said Debenhams Brand Equipment Buyer, Melanie Oliver.
‘It’s now part of our blue print for Café Venue across the UK. A busy store sells more
than 300 paninis each weekend so we need to operate a fast, efficient service.
Accelerated cooking allows us to cook on demand and dramatically reduces waste.’
For the ultimate in accelerated cooking choose Merrychef… from the smallest
restaurant to large banqueting operations.

A 15 year Partnership with Browns Restaurants...
Merrychef ovens have been "browning" food to perfection at popular classic restaurant
brand Browns for the past 15 years. Merrychef ovens feature in all Browns kitchens.
Accelerated cooking allows the 15-strong restaurant chain to consistently deliver its commitment
to serve freshly prepared premium products while catering for very busy restaurants.
At the 500 cover Butlers Wharf restaurant at Canary Wharf, Head Chef Paul Tate has a bank of
seven Merrychef RD501 ovens in his kitchen. Paul has nothing but praise for the products:
‘One of our signature dishes, the traditional Steak, Guinness and Mushroom pie, takes just a
few minutes in the RD501 to cook a perfect puff pastry dome. We also use the oven to create
excellent Yorkshire puddings in just eight minutes.’

402S SERIES
"The 402S cooks our range of wraps in less than 90 seconds and the finished product
is cooked to perfection, warm and firm on the outside with a soft, melt filling."
Simon Lushey, Senior Food Technologist, Marks & Spencer.
VENTLESS COMBINATION OVEN WITH
MICROWAVE AND IMPINGEMENT
The 402S combines convected heat, impingement pressure and microwave
power to achieve cook times up to 15 times faster than conventional ovens.
MERRYCHEF 402S
HOW IT WORKS:
The 402S combines three heat technologies:
• Convection
• Microwave
• Impingement
The convection fan pulls in air through the grease filter which
removes the majority of smoke from the air flow. The air is then
heated and returned to the cavity through impinger plates to produce
an even heat pattern in the oven. This heat layout minimises the areas
where grease can build-up, allowing food to cook evenly to produce
a crisp, golden finish.

Merrychef - 402S
The heat is on at Marks and Spencer...
The Marks & Spencer food hall got a whole lot hotter when Hot Food To Go was
launched to complement the retailer’s existing popular Food To Go range.
Powering this hot food revolution at Marks & Spencer Milton Keynes is the very latest oven
technology from Merrychef, the 402S. A high speed microwave assisted impinger oven, the
402S offers the flexibility of combination cooking with additional control over fan speed and
microwave power thanks to the combined ability of convection heat, impingement pressure
and microwave power. This means the 402S cooks 10-15 times faster than conventional
convection ovens. For Marks & Spencer this means the oven can deliver within the maximum
cook time of 90 seconds that is at the heart of a successful Hot Food To Go operation.
‘To be a serious contender in the hot food takeaway market we knew delivery time was
crucial while still retaining the M&S brand quality,’ said Simon Lushey, Senior Food
Technologist for Marks & Spencer.
www.merrychef.com www.merrychef.com
There is a bank of six Merrychef 402S ovens fuelling the kitchen at the Milton Keynes store.
Behind the scenes Marks & Spencer also use four Merrychef HD1925 Microcook microwaves to
heat soups, noodles and porridge dishes. And with opening hours from 8am - 8pm the ovens
need to live up to Merrychef’s reputation for producing top quality, hard-wearing products.
‘The 402S achieves core temperature efficiently and cool down at the end of a busy shift is
particularly fast which helps the staff when it comes to cleaning at the end of the day,’ said
Simon. ‘The kitchen is on full view to customers so aesthetics was also an important criterion
in our buying process; all concerned agree the 402S really looks the part.’

KFC bowled over by Merrychef ovens...
www.merrychef.com www.merrychef.com
KFC were bowled over by Merrychef when researching heating options for a new
product in 2004 when their parent company, Yum! Brands, wanted an oven to
speedily deliver a consistent product throughout its 300+ outlets in the UK.
Merrychef worked in close partnership with the KFC food development team to create the
Rice Bowl, a combination of KFC’s original recipe chicken breast fillet with basmati rice and
a sweet and sour sauce for a "fully fused flavour sensation".
The finger lickin’ good Rice Bowl project saw Merrychef supply more than 600 heavy duty
1925 microcook ovens within a three month period for a high profile national launch.
The HD 1925 is now specified for all KFC-A&W and KFC-Long John Silver multi-brand sites
across Europe, making it a firm favourite with Yum! Brands.
