Dennis Easterla recently brought the TriMark USA sales team up to speed on the features and benefits of the Everidge lineup, but not before everyone sat down to enjoy a fantastic meal prepared entirely in the Vulcan Equipment Chef's Combi.

From scratch-made lasagna, rethermed to perfection using the probe function, to melt-in-your-mouth cookies, the Chef's Combi demonstrated just how easy it is to deliver exceptional results. When the right equipment is in the kitchen, anyone can feel like a culinary star.

I mean...who gets one of these in their lifetime? Congratulations to our fearless leader and Director, Lori Danella, who received the Tray Talk Blazer Award from General Mills for her work in School Nutrition.

The BEST part?!?

HER FACE IS ON A WHEATIES BOX! No, we're sorry, you cannot buy this in stores...it's a one and done so an extremely rare find! In all seriousness, we are lucky to have her leading School Nutrition at LSR7! Congratulations Lori!

PrepRite by Everidge Blast Chillers and Shock Freezers rapidly cool food to safe temperatures while preserving the texture, flavor, and freshness of just-cooked products. Using an advanced ambient chill process, these units remove heat evenly from the core without surface crystallization, helping operators maintain quality while meeting HACCP requirements.

From compact blast chillers to high-capacity modular systems, PrepRite solutions are built for foodservice, catering, bakery, pastry, ice cream, and food production environments.

Plus, Everidge continues to lead the industry in sustainability with the PrepRite PBF 4.0, the first U.S. blast chiller to utilize environmentally friendly R290 refrigerant.

When speed, food safety, and quality matter, blast chilling is a game changer.

Whether you're adding a new Vulcan Equipment oven, fryer, range, griddle, charbroiler, steamer, kettle, braising pan, or holding cabinet, proper installation is critical to achieving the performance, safety, and reliability your operation depends on.

That's why Vulcan offers its New Equipment Checkout Program. A trained service professional will perform a complimentary on-site inspection to help verify that your equipment has been installed, calibrated, and prepared for operation correctly.

The result? Greater peace of mind, reduced risk of downtime, improved safety, and confidence that your equipment is ready to perform from day one.

Contact your Burlis-Lawson Group representative to learn more about Vulcan's New Equipment Checkout Program and how it can help protect your investment.

From artisan pizzas to creative bakery items, participants explored how the Vulcan Equipment Chef's Combi and PizzaMaster USA electric deck ovens can help elevate every cook into a scratch chef extraordinaire, delivering consistent, high-quality results while simplifying production in school kitchens.
