Product Junkie
If you like products, you'll love Product Junkie, Caterer's dedicated products blog. It covers everything related to food, drink and equipment and is a handy portal to all the gadgets and gizmos designed for use in kitchens, bars, restaurants and hotels. It also follows product-related events across the country. Take Stiffys' latest flavoured vodka drink, for example, said to "capture the brilliantly fragrant and distinctive flavour of Jaffa Cakes". Other postings so far have explored a new superfruit, an Indian take on steak and kidney pudding, a personalised knife design and manufacture service, and refrigerated drawers that open on both sides of the unit for easy access. 

Postings are written from press releases sent to catererproducts@rbi.co.uk, the quirkier the better!

Snapshot of upcoming features:

3 September – Meat & Poultry
Today more than ever, traceability and welfare are key issues when sourcing meat and poultry. So rather than producers implementing quality control that merely evaluates the end product, we are increasingly seeing quality assurance systems applied at all stages of the food chain i.e. from farm to fork. We examine what the various schemes cover such as herd health plans and feed requirements and clarify interpretation e.g. the assured period may not be the animal’s whole life. Comments on the benefits of such schemes to catererproducts@rbi.co.uk by 30 July.

17 September – Refrigeration
Historically commercial refrigeration consisted of large cold boxes which may have been sited remotely requiring the operator to decant large quantities of product to be brought into the kitchen to prep. Now, with an increased focus on fresh food, there is a tendency to site refrigeration much closer to the action. We examine how manufacturers are adapting cabinets to meet this demand and the range of flexible solutions from refrigerated drawers and under-counter fridges to chilled saladettes.  Comments and advice on choosing the right solution to catererproducts@rbi.co.uk by 13 August.
