Five-star food prep at 30,000ft

 

In the competitive business aviation market, operators are striving to increase their level of service and customer satisaction by differentiating their inflight food offerings.

Modular Galley Systems AG, an innovation and engineering - driven German company owned by Italian IACOBUCCI HF Group, has developed the first and only induction oven solution for business and commercial aircraft, gaining three Mercury Awards.

The MGS patented induction system technology offers a wide range of benefits over the conventional oven.

It's safer - as the oven is not hot in any of its parts during operation; It offers a quicker food re-heating service, allowing cabin crew to easily prepare fresh five-star meals; and the re-heating tray allows pre-cooked meals to be warmed up in standard aluminium foils - halving the time from approximately 25 minutes in a normal oven to only 12. The MGS Multi Functional Unit can automatically detect and identify the trays and preselect the desired heating program.

The AAD4 Series oven has already been successfully installed on a number of corporate aircraft. Passengers appreciated the improved quality and variety of food that resulted from the combination of induction cooking with the humidity of steam - conserving vitamins, taste and aroma, and providing a real gourmet experience.

The Heating Box has been developed for fresh on-board preparation and thanks to a range of accessories is suitable for numerous different preparations:

  • roasting fish and meat

  • frying eggs

  • toasting bread

  • steaming vegetables

  • cooking pasta and rice

  • or simply reheating prepared foods

Moreover the smart programming system with automatic processing, coupled with innovative heating technology and special attention to materials, ensures simple, convenient and safe handling for the operator whilst a filter inside the Steam Exhauster absorbs grease and odours.

In order to increase market penetration MGS has also developed the space-saving Multifunctional Heating ARINC Series Unit. This unit provides the same features of the AAD4 Series, but in a compact version which meets all requirements of the ARINC Standards 810 and 812.

IACOBUCCI HF Group are exhibiting at Aircraft Interiors Americas in Seattle, 12-14 September 2011, Booth #437.
