The Southern Hospitality team can help you choose the right products for your establishment because we keep ourselves up to date with the latest technology in the market! Here we are at Moffat New Zealand training on the new Convotherm and Merrychef products!

The ACS+ system ensures peak cooking performance in every Convotherm 4. It guarantees perfect steam-saturation, automatic humidity adjustment in combi-steam cooking and fast, even heat transfer for convection. This delivers an ideal, constant environment in the cooking chamber for all products, from vegetables through meat and fish to side dishes or baked goods, whether fresh, frozen or precooked. Even when the combi oven is fully loaded, you achieve consistently excellent results: evenly cooked, succulent and crispy.

Our ACS system works like a pan lid, keeping heat and moisture in the combi oven so that the temperature rises rapidly and less power and water are required.

Two years of hard work and expert input from the SKOPE refrigeration team culminated at Fine Food Australia with the company’s new, innovative ReFlex 10-model series winning the show’s Best New Hospitality Equipment Product 2019 Award.

This is the first time SKOPE has won this prestigious award, but the most important aspect of this win is that it represents the culmination of more than two years of hard work and expert input from almost every quarter of the SKOPE Refrigeration family.

Anyone who has ever worked with a Convotherm combi-steamer oven knows how their pioneering catering equipment inspire better food preparation. “Your meal. Our mission.“ is their philosophy born out of our passion and commitment to provide the best combi-steamer oven solution that answer the varied needs of our customers.

Here are a few customers who have a great experience with Convotherm products.

Food safety is a critical component in providing food. For establishments, it is easy to concentrate on customer service & presenting dishes to customers. However, not getting the food safety element right will leave a lasting customer experience that's not only unpleasant but can put the entire business at risk.

Safe Food by Pip Duncan is an important and user-friendly textbook on Food Safety. Its goal is to ensure all staff, not only understand the importance of keeping food safe for service but also having the right tools to do so.

We have copies of this book to give away - keep your eyes on our Facebook page for many giveaways of Safe Food!
