Latest model in Pratica’s high speed oven range is ideal for small businesses looking to offer hot food
FEM is now supplying the FIT Lite high speed oven from Pratica. Many businesses, like smaller cafes and convenience stores, want a way to offer hot food or snacks but don’t need the advanced programming capabilities of other models in the FIT range. This latest model is for them – a compact high speed oven designed for operations that need a simple, fast way to heat items from a limited menu.
Like other models in the Pratica FIT range, the FIT Lite combines impinged air convection with a 3kW magnetron microwave system, allowing for a range of cooking operations to offer hot food without needing bulky equipment and powered from a standard 13-amp socket. The FIT Lite is designed to rapidly finish refrigerated foods, as well as reheating a range of pre-baked or pre-fried items such as pasta dishes, sandwiches, casseroles, nuggets and other semi-prepared foods, without compromising on flavour and appearance.
The oven can store up to 1024 recipes with up to 8 steps each. Users select the dish to cook via a touchscreen control panel, which features simple to understand icons, with different recipe types put into logical groups, making it easy to train staff to use. On completion of a cooking cycle the unit offers the option to cook or brown more if required, or it can repeat the same recipe if multiple orders are needed. The cook chamber has dimensions of 315mm wide by 308mm deep, allowing it to hold a wide variety of food types easily.
The touchscreen also gives alerts for issues such as required cleaning and maintenance routines, and includes a daily step by step cleaning guide. Recipes can be uploaded via USB transfer, which also facilitates any system updates.
The FIT Lite is extremely compact, with a footprint (386w x 680d x 619h mm) that allows it to be sited on a standard 600mm depth worktop. A powerful catalytic filter removes particulates and odours automatically, allowing it to operate without the need for additional ventilation, meaning it can be installed in a wide variety of locations. The filter is easily removable and designed to allow operators to clean it as required.
Its modern design features a stylish matte black finish and an eye-catching stainless steel door, making it an attractive option for front of house use. Each unit comes with a cooking basket, an aluminium paddle and speed grill as well an oven guard and oven cleaner.
