MPM Shows PizzaMaster Ovens at the NRA

MPM Food Equipment Group Showcases PizzaMaster Ovens at the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show

Mark Hipskind explains the benefits of the PizzaMaster for restaurants.

MPM Food Equipment Group was one of 2,000 exhibitors at the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel (NRA) Show at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Attendees were treated to many sights and sounds at the show. According to the Trade Show News Network, the NRA's showfloor spanned more than 637,000 square feet, which was more than 8 percent higher than the record set in 2000. More than 63,000 total registrants came from all 50 states and 100-plus countries.

According to Juan Martinez in Foodservice Equipment and Supplies, some of the strongest interest was generated by "in any products that help automate processes, reduce waste and generally promote the effective and efficient use of labor and food. This includes design services that can facilitate a more efficient operation that reduces capital and operating costs, resulting in improved unit economics." This certainly can be said of the PizzaMaster ovens.

MPM Sources Unique, Custom Equipment for Frost Gelato



MPM Food Equipment Group has been bitten by Frost – Frost Gelato, that is

True T-49 Reach-In Merchandiser for Gelato to Go
The Frost store in Naperville, Illinois, is the second Frost store that MPM has helped supply, and the requirements of the store are unique.

Frost Gelato is a “gelateria,” and the chefs make the gelato fresh every day. “MPM provided a custom work table specifically designed for the prep of gelato, with water faucets and sinks built into the table and storage below,” says David Fallon, MPM’s Director of Sales – Food Service.

 “We also provided True refrigeration and freezers for storage and merchandising,” he added. “MPM sourced and provided equipment that was both functional and provided the style that the customer wanted to incorporate in the total look and feel of the store.” The reach-in for Frost’s “Gelato to Go” is a True T-49, and the units in back are True T-49 and T-49G.

Frost Gelato supplies high-end, freshly made gelato to walk-up customers in high-retail traffic locations, like the one in Naperville. It’s located in downtown Naperville's new Main Street Promenade East development. To produce their high-quality gelato, “they use very sophisticated cooling equipment from Europe and very sleek high-efficient display cases from Italy,” Fallon said.

Frost is a repeat customer for MPM. The owners of the Naperville store - Steve Rams, Kurt Bruksch and Ed Bruksch – first brought Frost to the Midwest by opening a store in Highland Park, Illinois, in 2011.

Saturn Gas Hotplates – Enhance Cooking Power For Less



Saturn gas hotplates are the most cost-effective way for your foodservice establishment to save money and space. If your current gas range burners don’t provide enough cooking surface area, you can enhance your cooking power to service your patrons. These appliances also allow smaller restaurants, coffee shops and diners to efficiently add hot food to their menu. If you are in need of extra burners – for soups and sauces, for example – you can purchase these two-burner or four-burner models from MPM Food Equipment Group at an unbelievable price.

Saturn Gas Hotplates (note: The six-burner SHP6-HD is shown)

If you need two burners to extend your cooking ability, especially if space is tight, you can order the Saturn SHP2-HD Hotplate from MPM for only $503, a savings of $896 from the regular list price of $1,399. Do you need even more cooking power? The Saturn SHP4-HD Hotplate has a list of $2,095, but you can buy it from MPM for $754, an incredible $1,341 savings. You won’t be able to find a better deal on top-of-the-line hotplates, and you won’t have to shoehorn a range in your kitchen.

These efficient and practical hotplates will fulfill all serving needs for a perfect service, with independent controls that allow for precise yet separate temperature levels. Saturn’s durable units deliver excellent production capabilities and reliable construction into a manageable footprint that provides flexibility. Additionally, working with gas burners helps to promote even heat distribution and proper heat conduction.


Solving Your Space Problem
Many professional kitchens don’t have enough room to add another range or oven to the already cramped space. So if your space is limited and your range does not have enough cooking surface, a hot plate can provide extra capacity, serving as easier additions to your cooking lines. During the busiest times, most operations will benefit from having additional burners so they can complement your oven or range to satisfy demand. And because they take up little space, operators can install hotplates in back-of-the-house areas where additional prep work or finishing takes place. For smaller businesses that don’t need a full range, the Saturn SHP2-HD and SHP4-HD Hotplates are great ideas for space and money savings. They make a great investment for many establishments.

You’ll find that working with such durable pieces of equipment like these Saturn hotplates can greatly improve cooking efficiency. The units are constructed from stainless steel, so you can be sure that they can withstand heavy use and the constant heat encountered in a busy kitchens. They feature virtually indestructible cast iron grates. The individual controls make it easy to choose just the right level of heat and to regulate temperature more efficiently. Since these hotplates have been designed to be relatively simple to maintain and to offer quick and easy cleaning, they can have a service life as long as 20 years or more.
