The Contact Cooker AGT: Fat-free and big on flavor
Fried food doesn’t have always to be fatty, which the contact cooker from alco demonstrates. Without any additional fat, it ensures a real searing experience with individual grill stripes and a lot of flavor.
Function
Our contact cooker will sear and cook your products solely in their own fat, allowing for a cooking process that’s free of additional added fats and provides natural flavor, a product with high eating qualities and home-made appearance. An additional benefit is the minimal weight loss due to the efficient cooking method of contact heat and direct energy transfer into the product. Even heavily marinated or sticky glazed products can be perfectly processed, due to the non-stick abilities of the teflon belt.
The look of the product, too, makes for a real eye-catcher in the modern kitchen by means of the contact cooker: Chicken breast filets, patties, or potato pancakes can be given grill stripes or other authentic roast marks, evenly and on both sides.
Features
The alco contact cooker sears products exclusively in their own fat. That way, it gets the natural flavor of the products. If desired, products can be given patterns like grill stripes.
