Many people used to relax in the summer. And this means that basically they are sent closer to the sea. And what is associated with many recreation on the beach? That's right, corn that is carried right on the beach.
Using a double boiler for corn
There are two ways to use the corn cooker. The first is catering places, for sale to visitors, and the second - for their own benefit. The point is that you can make good money selling boiled corn, you just need to have good equipment.
Particular attention is paid to this issue, since under normal conditions, in a conventional pan on the stove, this process can take up to 1 hour, or even more. Professional corn cookers, as they are called, are heat treatment of raw materials under pressure, which reduces the cooking time to 20 minutes.
Using such equipment for catering (that is, installing it in such places) does not make much sense. But if you install mobile corn cookers somewhere in crowded places, for example, in parks, near cafes or restaurants, then you can earn great money. It is also worth noting that the corn mill itself is relatively inexpensive.
Types of steamers
Quick cooking allows the owner to simultaneously serve a large number of people who want to buy a product. One of the marketing advantages of these appliances is that when cooking a product, the smell of juicy hot corn spreads around. The principle of operation of the corn cooker is very similar to a steam bath, and the device itself is made of stainless steel, which allows it to withstand heavy loads. Currently, there are two fundamentally different types of double boiler. It:
- Board . In other words, stationary steamers that can be installed in any convenient place in the kitchen. It is worth noting that it is precisely such ones that are more often used as equipment for public catering.
- Carts . In other words, mobile. This is exactly what is necessary for any entrepreneur who wants to engage in the sale of corn on the street in any convenient place.
Differences between double boiler
The difference between these steamers is not only that one of them is stationary, and the other is mobile. There are significant differences in the type of heating element that is installed in the apparatus for cooking corn. There are heating elements with an open and closed spiral. An open spiral is characterized by the fact that it produces less noise, and equipment with such an element is cheaper, however, it will be more difficult to clean it after work.
Samples that use a closed spiral have a lid, which is also the bottom for a corn cooker. Their advantage is that it will be much easier to clean the device of such a model, and also much less water is required for boiling. While it is necessary to install a sensor in open spirals, or make sure that the element is covered with liquid at all times.
How to choose a double boiler
When buying a corn cooker, many criteria should be considered, however, one of the most important is the size of the apparatus. It is this parameter that will determine how much hot corn will be cooked at a time, and therefore, how much profit the owner will receive if it comes to selling products with the goal of making money. However, there are other factors:
- An important factor is the wall thickness. Professional corn cooking equipment should have a wall thickness of at least 0.5 mm. However, this is not the best option. A thickness of 0.8 mm is considered ideal. This size ensures that over time the iron will not bend under the weight of the corn. This is a very important factor, especially if you plan to use the equipment in different temperature conditions.
- Another important and necessary factor is the temperature regulator. It is designed to keep the finished product in the corn cart constantly hot. However, it is very important that this part is 100% accurate, since incorrect temperature can ruin the product. In addition, there are stepless and step regulators. The former allow you to select a temperature value within any range, and the latter make it possible to set a specific temperature value.
Additional requirements
In addition to the mandatory selection criteria, there are several additional ones that are also advisable to consider when buying a corn cooker. One of these additional requirements was the cover of the corn grinder. Despite the fact that initially this detail seems insignificant, it is important. It can slightly increase the capacity of the device, as well as stimulate the customer’s desire to buy products due to the enchanting smell. This is due to the fact that under the shine of the rubbed and spherical lid pleasant aromas accumulate. In addition, the raised lid provides space for a few more ears of corn, which will not be superfluous in any case.
Another additional factor when choosing equipment is the grid. Professional corn cooking machines are equipped with a grid that divides the interior into two sections, thereby giving the opportunity to cook both ears and corn grains. However, it is important to check the handle for removing the mesh, as it will get very hot during operation of the double boiler.
Models
There is a wide variety of corn cooker models.
- The Kayalar model, made in Turkey , holds up to 40 ears of corn. Despite the large capacity, the manufacturer managed to minimize the size of the model, and they are 32 * 32 * 63 cm. In this case, the weight of the trolley is only 8 kg. Stainless steel was used to produce the double boiler body.
- The second model - Uret - also from a Turkish manufacturer, is characterized by the fact that the thermostat allows you to adjust the temperature only in the range from 30 to 110 degrees. The capacity of this model is slightly less - 36 ears of corn. As in the previous model, stainless steel was used for the manufacture of the apparatus, and the final dimensions were 38 * 38 * 50 cm.
Since juicy corn people are happy at any time of the year, the acquisition of a professional double boiler is a good solution.
