'The oven for a new era': Imperial brings Ovention Matchbox to the UK

The Ovention Matchbox oven has up to 1,000 pre-programmed cooking settings, eliminating the need for microwaves

Imperial Catering Equipment claims to have taken cooking technology to a ‘whole new level’ with the launch of its new ultra-compact and energy-saving Ovention Matchbox Oven.

Product details:

The new oven has a small kitchen footprint and can bake, broil, cook, grill and roast. It includes Ovention’s Revlolutionary Precision Impingement, allowing caterers to control time, emperature and independent blower speeds for every food item.

Offering temperature control with ‘Flexitemp’, the Matchbox also allows caterers to incresase or lower the temperature by 50 degrees or more from one item to the next.

It has up to 1,000 pre-programmed cooking settings, eliminating the need for microwaves. It also incorporates Ovention’s closed cooking system, which means the doors are only opened when food is entering or exiting the oven and no hood is required. The system performs 10-times better than the required UL grease emissions standard.

USP:

The above features slash oven energy consumption and HVAC costs and are bolstered by the Ovention Matchbox ‘end cap’ system, which minimises hot air escape from the cavity.

Intuitive one-touch display is also a key selling point of the new cooking technology, meaning two cooking surfaces can be automatically loaded at the tap of a touchpad, while the Matchbox also incorporates an auto unload feature to prevent overcooking.

Availability:

The Ovention Matchbox Oven will be available to all UK foodservice businesses this autumn. You can contact Imperial for a product demonstration on 01509 260150.

Why you should buy it:

Andy Piggin, sales director for Imperial Catering Equipment, said the Ovention Matchbox is ‘the oven for a new era’. “Many of today’s commercial kitchens are looking to increase productivity using a variety of cooking methods, but struggle to equate the space available with the footprint of the ovens on the market,” he said.

“Slashing energy costs, the Matchbox answers caterer demand on every level, the first Ovention product to be launched by us since we secured the UK distribution agreement for sales and after sales support of the precision impingement line of ovens this summer.

“Ovention will hit the UK market this autumn, Ovention’s cooking speed, product quality and flexibility will be a big attraction to chain account users”
