TurboChef Announces the Next Breakthrough in Cooking Technology

TurboChef Technologies, LLC, a leader in accelerated cooking technologies, and a Middleby Corporation company (NASDAQ: MIDD), introduces PLEXOR, a generational advancement in ventless, automated, modular, and high-speed cooking.

PLEXOR provides a multi-technology, flexible cooking platform in an optimized footprint. Automated oven loading and unloading ensure precise cooking, while reducing labor and maximizing kitchen efficiency. PLEXOR’s first of a kind modular design provides the flexibility to operate up to three different oven modules with a single user interface and with a single plug. Impingement, rapid cook, and TurboVect oven modules can be configured in any combination and field swapped in the event the end user’s menu mix or needs change.

“Middleby is committed to delivering solutions that simplify our customers’ operations and optimize labor, speed of service, physical space, and product quality,” said James K. Pool III, Middleby Chief Technology and Operations Officer. “Our recent recognition by the National Restaurant Association as a recipient of the 2021 Kitchen Innovations (KI) Award validates the impact the PLEXOR will have on making foodservice operations more efficient and ultimately, more profitable.”
