STAMFORD, Conn., May 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Waring, a trusted source for high-performance
kitchen appliances for more than 85 years, today announces the
introduction of the Planit POD Fermentation System, a revolutionary
appliance that ferments and pasteurizes fresh, customizable
plant-based proteins in 24 hours.
Developed in collaboration with Planit Protein, Planit POD
unleashes the future of food with an innovative eco-friendly
platform. Using Planit Protein's shelf-stable, soy-free plant
blends and proprietary organic culture, Planit POD produces tempeh,
koji, and other plant-based proteins, for a diverse range of fresh,
fermented menu items.
In keeping with planet-friendly consumer values, the Planit POD
fermentation process eliminates the environmental toll the
production of traditional sources of protein takes on the planet,
like costly refrigerated supply chains. Waring developed Planit POD
as the ultimate industry solution, with protein and fermentation
reimagined for plant-based menu items made on-site with clean
ingredients that are good for people, the planet, and
profitability.
"Our goal was to bring healthy food to the masses while safely
and broadly unlocking the benefits of natural fermentation for the
culinary world," said Waring General Manager and Senior Vice
President Dan DeBari. "We've worked
with some of the greatest minds in the field of fermentation to
develop this turnkey solution. We're ready to provide chefs with
the canvas to create a wide and ever-expanding variety of plant
proteins right in their own kitchens."
A New World of Flavor Awaits
Designed to be the
world's most efficient fermentation chamber, Planit POD features
carefully curated software that comes preprogrammed to take the
guesswork out of fermentation and ensure consistent cooking every
time. The step-by-step preparation process makes it easy to create
the canvas for new culinary masterpieces. Menu inspiration includes
POD protein tikka masala, Middle Eastern POD protein lettuce wraps,
plant-based burgers, and crispy chicken sandwiches, and much
more.
"The turnkey technology for fearless fermentation empowers chefs
to explore new horizons of culinary creativity and meet the
ever-growing demand for menu options that are nutritious,
delicious, and sustainable," says Chef Jeremy Umansky, one of the world's foremost
experts on fermentation and co-author of Koji Alchemy:
Rediscovering the Magic of Mold-Based Fermentation.
Introducing Waring
The brand will also debut a
shortened name at this year's National Restaurant Association Show,
announcing its evolution from "Waring Commercial" to "Waring."
"Waring Commercial has served us well for years," said DeBari.
"However, we've been colloquially known as Waring for a long time
now, and the time felt right to make it official. The simplified
name embodies what we envision for the next 85 years of the brand:
breakthrough innovations that simplify the myriad of challenges of
professional kitchens and makes life easier for those working in
them day in and day out."
The Planit POD will be on display and in-use at this year's
National Restaurant Association Show at Waring's booth,
#2716. Waring will be hosting a special demonstration of the
Planit POD's innovative capabilities with Chef Jeremy Umansky on Sunday (5/19) at 2:30pm. For more information on the Planit POD
