Preparing large quantities of thick batters, dredges and dips is hard work. Do it by hand, and you’re often left with clumps; use a traditional foodservice mixer and you get unwanted bubbles and aeration. And both methods can lead to inconsistent quality and consistency from employee to employee. As the food prep experts, AyrKing has found a way to solve these challenges. Read on to see how you can save labor and improve product quality and taste in your battering process.
Thick and gooey batters can be difficult for employees to mix and stir, especially in large quantities. In addition, the process is time-consuming and batters often have to be re-stirred to avoid ingredient separation.
The AyrKing Mixstir automates the batter stirring and mixing process. This significantly reduces the amount of employee labor needed for each batch, helping maximize your staff’s availability while reducing labor costs.
If you hand-mix, the thick batter is often left with clumps that are hard to fully break up. If you mix with a blender or immersion mixer, bubbles and aeration are introduced into the mixture, reducing product quality.
With a patented wing-shaped blade and reduced mixing speed, the Mixstir solves both problems. Clumps are eliminated with thorough machine mixing, and the ideal blade speed doesn’t cause bubbles and excess aeration.
No two employees will hand-mix exactly the same, leading to inconsistency from batch to batch. And the excess aeration introduced by machine mixers causes variabilities as well.
By mixing the same way, every time, Mixstir helps ensure consistent mixture quality and flavor profiles across shifts and regardless of employee training or experience.
Some batters, especially those made with milk and/or egg batter, require cold storage during the food prep process. This introduces another challenge into the mix.
AyrKing offers BBS breading stations that include ice bath pan holding. This feature keeps batters at safe holding temperatures while close-at-hand for easy preparation.
Our product line can help simplify and automate the process of battering, both in the preparation of batters and the application of batters to food. You can increase product consistency and reduce labor requirements, saving money while increasing food quality.
