Overview Fagor Professional presents the Cook & Chill solution: an integrated workflow combining ovens and blast chillers to optimise cooking, cooling and preservation in professional kitchens. The range targets improved operational efficiency, reduced food waste and consistent product quality across high-volume catering environments.

Design and usability The Cook & Chill line features ergonomic layouts, reversible door options and adjustable heights. Constructed mainly in stainless steel, the equipment is designed for quick cleaning, safe handling and minimal unnecessary movement for kitchen staff. Energy efficiency considerations are integrated into component selection and insulation.

Control and integration Centralised, intuitive control panels provide coordinated management of ovens and blast chillers. ABCO blast chillers and iKORE ovens share matched dimensions and control logic to enable seamless installation and unified operation. Optional vacuum packers integrate into the workflow to extend shelf life and streamline packaging.
