In the world of professional cooking, innovation never stops. One of the latest technologies to make its entrance in the kitchens of restaurants is focused ultrasound, which can revolutionize the processes of food preparation, bacterial abatement and use of raw materials. If until recently kitchen professionals relied on outdated technologies, today they can use advanced solutions like waveco^® to improve the efficiency and quality of their preparations. But how does this technology work, and how is it changing the food scene?

What is focused ultrasound technology?

Focused ultrasound technology uses ultrasonic waves at a certain frequency and power to produce vibrations that can interact with liquids and solids. In the context of professional cooking, ultrasound was used mainly for cleaning in the past, but the music has changed. Thanks to our studies and research, we have made their ability to penetrate food without altering its structure and quality.

Benefits of focused ultrasound in catering

Greater energy efficiency: compared to traditional technologies, focused ultrasound, besides having a really low consumption, imagines that waveco^® absorbs only 800watt; it allows to reduce by more than 50% the cooking times, Enabling restaurants to optimise resources and improve sustainability.

Precise and uniform cooking: The focused ultrasonic technology allows, after treatment, to have a much faster and more homogeneous heat penetration, thus reducing the cooking times but also the temperatures. Thanks to this speed, we will have a lower dispersion of liquids allowing the food to preserve nutrients and flavors.

Reduction of bacterial load and shelf life: Thanks to the cavitation produced by focused ultrasound, we go to break down the bacterial load of a food increasing its shelf life. The proven bactericidal action is supported by scientific evidence of university tests but also by two scientific publications that certify: the elimination of Listeria monocytogenes and also Salmonella. This allows to totally change the paradigms of cooking.

waveco vs backup technologies: the comparison

We see below some of the substantial differences that make waveco^® the only machine suitable for food processing:

• waveco^® does not use temperatures during the treatment, a sine qua non condition for preventing bacterial growth and starting cooking processes. Washing machines work with uncontrolled temperatures that exceed 70°.
• waveco^® has a patent on focused ultrasound: waves generated at a given power and frequency that reach the heart of the food and generate benefits. Washing machines use chaotic waves, which come to the surface: what is needed to clean metals.
• waveco^® supports its technology, has proven scientific evidence issued by Universities; scientific publications, microbiological tests, and above all a patent. The washing machines?

Testimonials of chefs who use waveco^® successfully

Many starred and non-starred chefs have already adopted focused ultrasound technology to improve the quality of their work. Here are some testimonials from those who chose waveco^®:

Chef Tommaso Arrigoni (restaurant “Innocenti Evasioni”): “I firmly believe that the only way to evolve is to be open to change: that’s why, waveco® is now part of my kitchen.”

Chef Giuseppe Mancino (restaurant “Il Piccolo Principe”): “waveco® technology is a valuable ally for us Chefs to offer our customers experiences always at the top, keeping their roots firmly rooted in what is their own vision of cuisine”

Chef Carlo Cracco (restaurant “Cracco Portofino): “My career has been dictated by the continuous research, by the avant-garde: that’s why waveco^®, could not miss in my kitchen”

Chef Igles Corelli (Coordinator of the Scientific Committee of Gambero Rosso Academy.): “My vision of cooking, I call it “circular cooking” of a food must use 100% without any waste. That’s why waveco® is now a key part!”

Chef Valerio Centofanti (restaurant “L’Angolo D’Abruzzo”): “ Ultra good ultrasound. Because the increase in smoothness and flavor that the machine gives to food is phenomenal: that’s why waveco^® is an integral part of my kitchen “

Conclusions

Focused ultrasound technology is rapidly becoming a key ally in professional cooking. Advanced solutions such as waveco^® not only improve the efficiency of your kitchen line preparation, but also allow you to achieve more precise and high-quality results. While the switch to metal washing machines seems almost a forgotten nightmare, the adoption of innovative technologies such as focused ultrasound marks an important turning point for the catering industry, bringing with it economic benefits, operational and qualitative that every professional chef should consider.
