INTRODUCTION
What is Live-Action Display Cooking
Live-Action Display Cooking is performed by a chef in front of an audience where the chef creates theater and participation by engaging
people with the sights, sounds and avors of freshly prepared food. Every culture cooks foods in an open kitchen or outdoors where food
preparation is equal parts avor and entertainment, and the cooking equipment is as varied as our culture such as American barbecue,
French rotisserie and Brazilian churrasco, to Chinese wok and Japanese teppan cooking.
Handling Grease and Smoke Laden Air
Of the thousands of variations of display cooking equipment a chef can employ, one of the most versatile cooking platforms is the heated
at plancha or teppan griddle plate. Unfortunately when used indoors, this style of griddle plate inevitably produces grease laden air
which is an undesirable byproduct that can be a health hazard to both the chef and the audience. The conventional way of dealing with
this issue is to install ventilation devices such as a grease hood above the griddle. This hood is connected to an air/grease duct that leads
to the outside, providing the air passage through which grease laden air can be removed by a suction motor (often installed at the end of
the air duct).
Unique Innovation
The Evo EVent™ Ductless Downdraft Ventilation Cooktop is an innovative design that includes a high-efciency griddle integrated to a
ventilation system that extracts air across the griddle surface through a series of lters including an electrostatic precipitator that removes
smoke and grease particulates before exhausting clean air.
This high-efciency griddle and ventilation system is individually patented technologies which benet operators, chefs, and restaurant
patrons by reducing the risk of worker related respiratory illness and contributes to better air quality of the restaurant.
