early in the morning, take care of all
details and have a thousand things to
think about and do, because everything
has to be absolutely perfect and right on
time... always.

They have to cook, defrost and, at the
same time, keep temperatures, let
rise the products and, well, everything
has its own timeline.

Fresh products and happy clients, always.
Only with Genius.
The 5 senses come back to life with Genius.
Blast-chilling
Keeping a cooked product for 5 hours at room
temperature corresponds to chilling it with
Genius and holding it for 5 days. Quality and
freshness can be served at any time.
10
Spectacular freshness, all the time.
Blast-freezing
Starters that are always ready to go, as well as
desserts, pasta dishes, meat and anything else
you have... without ever wasting food or energy
and with plenty of savings. With Genius, it’s you
who decides, and you who amazes your clients.
Maximum performance, even at night.
Slow cooking
Slow cooking gives you the advantage of
reducing the loss of weight of food and makes
everything juicier and more tender, even the
tough stuff. But that’s not all: Genius gives you
the product ready to be portioned, it won’t fall
apart and you won’t lose precious juices either.
11
Let your creativity break free!
Retarder-proong
All Genius does is ask you at what time and on
what day you want to bake. He does the rest:
preserving it, defrosting it, letting it rise and
then preserving it to be popped into the oven at
the desired time. It’s all under control, without
having to control.
Your menus are always ready.
Warm holding
Imagine being able to serve different dishes
from your menu just by taking the plate from
your personal assistant. Well, Genius holds them
warm and ready to be brought to the table.
12
Intelligent blast-chilling for every type of food.
Multilevel
Every type of food has its own composition
and needs to be handled in a different way to
be served fresh, as if it had just been prepared.
Genius keeps the characteristics of every product
in mind, checks all levels and advises when it has
been properly chilled.
Simply perfect technology.
Thawing
Stop worrying about how, where and for how long.
Genius boasts the most advanced technology
to make sure the temperature inside is perfect
for thawing your cooked or raw dishes, with no
surprises, and then preserves them perfectly.
