In the restaurant world, the choice of cooktop is not just a technical detail, but a strategic decision that directly affects the productivity of the brigade, the quality of the dishes, and the efficiency of the kitchen. Every chef knows that heat control is the key element to perfect cooking-from the even browning of a sea bass fillet to the slow cooking of a braised pot roast that melts in the mouth.
The question on every Ho.Re.Ca. professional’s mind is undoubtedly: is a gas or induction stove better? The answer is not unequivocal, but one thing is certain: with the right cookware, induction is a winning innovation for fine dining.With MPS Porcellane’s Gastronorm Induction line, it is possible to take advantage of all the benefits of induction cooking without sacrificing the timeless elegance and versatility of porcelain plates and cookware. Let’s discover how induction technology and fine porcelain ware can transform the professional dining experience.
The answer to chefs’ needs: porcelain for induction cooking
Gas or induction: which choice for the professional kitchen?
The kitchens of the best restaurants and hotels are dynamic environments, where every detail is designed to ensure maximum efficiency and quality to meet customers’ needs. The choice between gas and induction for the cooktop goes far beyond a matter of personal preference: it depends on aspects such as cooking speed, energy consumption and safety. Let’s analyze the two solutions in detail.
The advantages of gas cooking
- Instant flame control: instant temperature control allows precise cooking techniques, such as sautéing crisp vegetables or flambéing a Rossini-style fillet.
- Energy reliability: no risk of interruption due to power failures.
- Versatility: compatible with all kinds of cookware, including copper pans and cast iron woks.
However, gas cooking also has significant disadvantages.
- Greater heat loss: in an already hot environment, such as a professional kitchen, additional heat buildup can become unsustainable, as well as inefficient.
- Difficulty in cleaning: grates and burners collect food residue, making maintenance more complex.
- Safety hazards: gas leaks and accidental flare-ups are a constant danger.
The advantages of induction cooking
- Efficiency without waste: heat is generated directly in the cookware, reducing cooking time and optimizing energy consumption. Perfect for delicate techniques such as sous-vide or low-temperature cooking.
- Maximum safety: with no open flames, the risk of accidents is minimized.
- Instant cleaning: a smooth, unobstructed surface allows quick sanitization between services.
- Extreme precision: adjustments to the degree, ideal for fine processing such as making emulsified sauces or chocolate fondants.
The only obstacle? Induction requires cookware with magnetic bottoms. That’s where MPS Porcellane’s revolutionary Gastronorm Induction line comes in.
Porcelain and induction: the innovation of MPS Porcellane
Porcelain is synonymous with elegance and tradition, a material that has accompanied fine dining for centuries. Durable, easy to clean, and capable of retaining heat for a long time, porcelain is a favorite choice for serving in the dining room and for preparations that require excellent heat retention. However, until recently, it was not compatible with induction.
The idea of combining the sophistication of porcelain with the efficiency of induction cooking came from a careful analysis of the needs of catering professionals. The development process involved specialized engineers and designers, who tested different formulations of conductive materials to be integrated into the bottom of the cookware. After numerous prototypes and thermal resistance tests, we identified a perfect balance between thickness, composition, and heat distribution, with the goal of ensuring that the porcelain would remain intact even under high temperatures and rapid thermal variations.Thus, thanks to MPS Porcellane’s advanced research, Gastronorm Induction was born: a line of porcelain dishes with a special magnetic bottom that makes them perfectly compatible with induction hobs, without compromising on aesthetics and functionality. compatibili con i piani a induzione, senza compromessi su estetica e funzionalità.
