Kitchen accessories manufacturer, Sheffield Steel Systems has partnered with an Indian firm to produce a steam-based boiler for bulk cooking in institutions and staff canteens.
Sheffield MD Suresh Kanotra said their partnership with Bangalore-based commercial kitchen equipment maker, Rajalakshmi is aimed at easing the current cost burden borne by public and private entities that host large number of people that have to be fed daily.
“The initial installation cost is high but its long term benefits are immense since steam generation can be done using cooking gas, electricity and diesel/kerosene fired plants. This is a smoke-free cooking technology which once installed need extremely little maintenance during its entire lifespan of over 50 years,” he said.
