I’ve been told garbage bags have moldicides on them. We use bun pan bags as they are approved for food contact.

Yep, they tend to cool down when you do volume and pull the heat out. You could heat em up a little higher before the slam but risk changing the bake quality. If the existing ovens are working fine, you could add a few ovens.I saw you inquire about the Peerless. I used Comstock Castle pizza...

No experience with the Sierra Range Volare but it seems you’d lose a lot of heat through the front glass doors. Also, since it’s a single rotator, if it broke your whole oven would be out of commission. With the double of triple stacked decks, you are only likely to have 1 deck in need of repair...

Good to know they addressed the issue.

I’ve had a set of XLT ovens. Never had a mechanical issue but they are very loud as the fan moves a lot of air. In the past, people said the Edge was quieter and more energy efficient as your not blowing as much hot air out the ends.

I note that there is no oil in the recipe. Has it always been that way?

Has anyone heard of the Restaurant Revitalization Act? I realize many shops had their best year in 2020 so this won’t apply but sit down restaurants take note. This SBA fund is giving restaurants a check for the difference between gross sales in tax year 2020 versus tax year 2019. I sold my...

Have you tried contacting the Palazzolo folks? They might sell you the rights for less than it would cost to reinvent the wheel.

How much dough do you plan to make per week? That’s a pretty small mixer. We used to use an A-120 for sauces, and creams and used an A-200 for pizza dough. The A-200 could handle 1 gallon water, 13.5# flour per batch.

I’d get a few more contractor opinions as to whether the compressor change will solve the mold problem. Does the walk in have a digital thermostat or mechanical? I’ve replaced most of my mechanical thermostats with digital Rancho 111000’s as they are more accurate than the mechanical thermos I...

You could call the old refrigeration company to ask them. Maybe the length of the run to roof required a larger compressor? When you say you hold at 40, does the temp controller bring the temp down to 34, turn off, then restart at 40? This is the range we always have used and the produce has...

I don’t think the oven they are suggesting will work. There are electric deck ovens though. If you vent through the wall, the condos above the vent may not be excited about and fumes or smoke. This might be why the company was looking at venting to roof.

Yeah, it seems the humidity level in the walk in is higher than it used to be. The evaporator dehumidifies the air in addition to cooling it. Could your evaporator fan be running backwards? It should pull air across the coils towards the fan. The water that is removed drips to a pan that then...

We have used several brands of frozen dough with Lamonica’s being our favorite. The problem with frozen is the dough hasn’t had time to develop before freezing. Therefore, we take them out of the freezer, thaw them on the bench-still in bags, and then debag and stack in dough boxes. We’ve found...

Although the pizza oven heat will kill microbes , the are toxic metabolic byproducts from Staphylococcal aureus or Botulism that are not neutralized by heat. In the case of Coronavirus, it’s what happens to the pizza after coming out of the oven.

Those of us that sell food at events will be hit hard. All of my early season shows are cancelled and I’m not optimistic that things will change through the summer. Has anyone noticed a change at brick and mortar shops?

Is there a serial number on it? If so, give Peerless a call to find out.

We hold in a cabinet at 150 but the crust gets soft and tough so we flash the slice in a small oven before serving(unless the pie recently went in.) The sheen of the cheese will let you know how long it’s been in there. Experiment with your own pizza to see what difference flashing makes. The...

I don’t have the model number but used the Pass and Seymore 20 amp GFCI per Hobart’s recommendation. This was the fix for the first generation Legacy as the electrical design inherently tripped other GFCI brands. It’s possible there is another issue causing it to trip the GFCI-like there is an...

First you’ll need to see if they allow you to sell food. Many flea markets in my area control all food concessions. If they do allow subcontractors, ask what the terms are-flat fee versus percentage and try to figure if it pencils. If they allow food concessions, is electricity available and how...
