The new Electrolux air-o-steam Touchline showed excellent results over competitors combi ovens at a duel show organized by Hospitality, the foodservice magazine, at the Creative Kitchen Gastro Forum in Budapest, Hungary.
Electrolux air-o-steam Touchline combi oven proved to be better than the ones by Rational, Convotherm, Lainox and Retigo at a duel show in Budapest. It performed best in 10 out of 18 categories (the next one was Convotherm with four first places).

The professional combi oven duel organised by the foodservice magazine Hospitality took place in Budapest, Hungary, on June 8, during the gastronomic event called Creative Kitchen Gastro Forum (Kreatív Konyha Fórum 2010).

All the participants delivered a 6 GN 1/1 electric combi oven. Each of them received exactly the same type and amount of raw material and had to start the cooking process at the same time, thus allowing the back judge to set the parameters of the competition and accurately measure the cooking conditions, in terms of time as well as of consumptions of water and electricity.

Five different foods had to be cooked: croissants, grilled chickens with French fries, pork tenderloins, and broccoli. With regard to the chickens and tenderloins, a random sample was measured before and after the cooking process, in order to highlight any potential weight loss.

The food was tasted and judged by a jury consisting of three famous Hungarian chefs: Mr Lajos Bíró, from restaurant Bock Bistro (Budapest), Mr Gábor Merczi, from restaurant Gundel (Budapest), Mr Vikor Segál, from restaurant Segal (Budapest).
It was a real ‘blind test’, because the chefs didn’t know which oven had cooked the food they were eating! The only parameters they could consider to make their assessments were the taste, colour and consistency of the ingredients. At the end of the tests all the ovens had to be cleaned: the cleaning performances were the last test.

Electrolux Professional performed very well: the results were fantastic with the grilled chickens and the pork tenderloins – which were the best in terms of taste, colour and consistency - as well as both in the weight loss - the lowest with the tenderloins - and the cleaning cycle tests. Air-o-steam Touchline oven achieved very good results also with the croissants and the French fries.
