Ilve BC645STC Blast Chiller

The Ilve BC645STC blast chiller is part of the Professional Plus line , a collection of household appliances inspired by the kitchens of the best restaurants, designed to bring great qualities of robustness , ergonomics and operability into the domestic space.

An appliance reserved, until recently, for use in professional kitchens, today the blast chiller is also used in home kitchens, to quickly lower the temperature of food and preserve food in an optimal manner , avoiding   bacterial proliferation and thus reducing waste. With the blast chiller, in fact, it is possible to go in a very short time from the heat of the oven to -3°C (fridge), or from room temperature to -20°C (freezing). If cooked and cooled quickly, in fact, foods maintain their organoleptic properties for 5-7 days; if frozen quickly, defrosted foods maintain their original consistency and flavor.

To further improve the shelf life of cooled foods, you can use vacuum storage, with equipment suitable for the purpose: contact us for more information.

The BC645STC blast chiller is a built-in model in black glass with   capacity of 40 litres , and is equipped with 11 functions , namely:

- ABATEMENT
This function allows you to quickly reduce the core temperature of freshly cooked food, bringing it to +3°C, a useful level for interrupting the cooking process and preparing the food for subsequent handling. By reducing the time the food remains in the temperature range of bacteria proliferation, the preservation time of the food itself is extended.

- FREEZING
The freezing process quickly brings food to a temperature of -18°C using the microcrystal technique. This method prevents excessive loss of liquids and the resulting loss of weight in the subsequent defrosting phase. The process allows food to be preserved for several months. The organoleptic qualities, flavor, aroma and appearance of the food are kept intact by rapidly solidifying the water contained therein, thus avoiding tearing the fibers.

- PRE-COOLING
Pre-cooling consists in cooling the internal parts of the appliance; by cooling the air inside the cell, the machine is ideally prepared for the chilling and freezing functions of even very hot foods, shortening the times of subsequent cycles and reducing consumption. This process allows you to optimize the processing times in the kitchen because it takes place during the preparation of the recipes.

- COOLING
When it is not possible to consume a freshly cooked food immediately because its temperature is too high, with this function it is possible to speed up the cooling process of freshly baked foods before consuming them, or to cool them quickly for the preparation of other foods, without waiting for natural acclimatization.

- DRINKS
Keeping drinks at the desired temperature is the task of a wine cellar, however the blast chiller has performance characteristics that are very useful when you do not have enough time. This program allows you to reduce the temperature of a drink based on the time available; you only need to indicate the number of bottles and the time. The internal ventilation will prepare them for the best tasting.

- STORAGE AT 0°C
This function is designed to preserve the organoleptic properties of raw foods and is suitable when you want to preserve foods such as meat, fish and vegetables for a few hours before preparing them, blocking and inhibiting bacterial proliferation.

- RAW FISH
Poor conservation of fishery products can cause health risks related to contamination by Anisakis, a parasite that can be eliminated with prolonged cooking or freezing processes and conservation at -30°C (sanitization). This program uses the high performance of the blast chiller to reproduce the sanitization process at home. At the end of the cycle, maintenance at -18°C is expected.

- DEFROSTING
The blast chiller manages the defrosting phase of a food according to the “controlled air temperature” mode, which allows a food to be brought from freezing temperature to 1÷3°C without losing liquids and without starting to cook it. Defrosting foods progressively allows to keep their consistency and structure intact, avoiding the transformation of proteins that occurs, for example, with the defrosting of meat with microwaves.

- READY TO TABLE
This function allows you to reheat food that has been previously cooked and stored in the refrigerator and serve it at the correct consumption temperature, or to program its availability at the desired temperature, postponing the reheating of the food by up to 10 hours.

- SLOW COOKING
This function allows you to cook food slowly, at a constant low temperature for a specific time. It is the ideal cooking method for sous vide, because it allows you to preserve the structure of the food by not subjecting it to high thermal stress and not dispersing its nutritional values.

- LEAVENING
With this function, you can leaven a dough by choosing three different operating modes: “Immediate”, “Preserved”, “Delayed”. In each of them, the machine allows you to set the air temperature, the duration and the humidity level, for perfect control of the leavening. By programming the leavening duration , you can reduce the quantity of yeast, obtaining a lighter and more digestible product, at the same time promoting the development of the desired aroma.
