Energy saving in commercial kitchens is an important concern. Considering energy costs have always been a large portion of the operating costs of a business, and now energy prices are rising dramatically. After the recent global crisis, even the availability of energy has become a concern, now businesses are doing all they can to reduce the energy usage of their commercial kitchen.
A modern mixer kettle itself is an unbeatable solution to reduce the energy consumption of cooking in the commercial kitchen. The Genier kettle has an energy-efficient value above 95%**, which is achieved by the kettle’s clever design combined with a mixer and food temperature control, ensuring the right amount of energy is used.
Daily savings of up to 40% on electricity and 35% on water*
Energy-efficient food temperature control with mixing saves on energy consumption, as heating happens only when needed and heat is distributed evenly and automatically. This is a major difference from traditional boiling pans without automated control of product temperature. In one year, the average difference will be a saving of 9,500 kWh per kettle. In addition, using the automatic washing program will achieve water and detergent savings of up to 80% – for every wash. This will make a saving of 88,000 liters per kettle in one year.
* Compared to a traditional boiling pan without cooking programs, food temperature-based heating control, or an integrated agitator.

Energy saving operations
There are some relatively simple steps that can be implemented for energy-saving and reducing water consumption with mixer kettles:
- Select the exact target food temperature at the start (no need to select a higher temperature). The kettle heats up automatically and efficiently to the desired food temperature and adjusts the heating to keep the temperature constant.
- Use automatic water measuring to add the desired amount of water to the kettle.
- Create recipes with multi-stage programming. Automatic cooking processes reduce idle time and energy consumption between program stages.
- Save your cooking programs in internal memory. This reduces variability in daily process and ensures even food quality.
- Use the right mixing tool for the recipe. Correctly selected mixing tools can save a lot of working time.
- Weigh all ingredients according to the recipe. Kettles that include the weighing function can weigh ingredients as part of the cooking program.
- Keep the lid closed during cooking.
- Use the lid’s ingredients opening to add ingredients. Remember to use the ingredient's opening cover.
- Empty the kettle with the tilt function.
- Clean the kettle with the washing tool and programs. This reduces water and detergent consumption.
- The removable lid can be washed separately.
- The mixing tool parts are dishwasher-safe.
