Alfresco was founded in the year 2000 with a single goal – to bring the products
and features professional chefs demand to the backyard. While several high-end
grill lines existed by this time, no one had created the complete line of products
necessary to build a true open air kitchen. Alfresco set out to change that. As
the heart of any open air kitchen, designing a professional-level grill was the
first priority. The use of all type 304 stainless steel was obvious, but 30+ plus
years of experience designing and building equipment for some of the nation's
largest restaurant and hotel chains led to some choices that were less obvious.
First, nearly every seam is welded and polished, as mechanical fasteners tend
to loosen over time. A unique dual-row, dual-port burner was designed, with an
industry-leading 27,500 BTUs of power and made from an exclusive, high-heat stainless
steel, which enables the burner to carry a lifetime warranty. The Sear Zone™ hybrid
infrared system was developed, bringing the intense searing power of a commercial
infrared broiler to the home. And understanding the importance of appearance to
the residential customer, the grill features large radiused corners and extensive
hand-polished accents.
To extend the cooking flexibility, Alfresco™ offers a side burner unit with dual
17,000 BTU burners, bringing commercial-class saute power to the outdoors, as
well as the new stand alone Sear Zone™ unit with 27,500 BTU ceramic infrared burner.
In the restaurant kitchen, much space is dedicated to food prep and presentation,
so Alfresco designed a prep/waste center, which combines a cutting board with
a thru-counter trash-chute and hidden trash receptacle. A Sterno-fueled food warmer
was developed, using three removable commercial stainless steel food pans. The
latest addition - a plating and garnishing center - is straight out of the restaurant
kitchen, complete with a full-length cutting board on top and plate storage shelf
underneath. And since good food demands good drink, Alfresco offers the industry's
most extensive line of bartending centers, designed with the features that professionals
demand.
Even with all of these innovations, one key element of the professional kitchen
was still missing. The refrigerator is a key element of any great kitchen, but
building a refrigerator that can not only survive but operate efficiently outdoors
is no easy task. Again, Alfresco's™ commercial experience was key to creating
a line of true all-weather refrigerators, capable of operating in extreme heat
or extreme cold. Units include an undercounter single door unit which is easily
convertible to a kegerator and back, an under-grill unit which features a large
door section next to two refrigerated marinating drawers which allow you to take
food directly from the refrigerator and onto the grill – just like it's done in
commercial kitchens. The latest addition to the refrigeration line is another
first for the home - a top-loading refrigerator that sits into the countertop
for fast, easy access without bending or reaching.
A real commercial kitchen is designed for maximum efficiency, with great ergonomics
and much thought given to the entire food preparation process. For too long, outdoor
cooking has been anything but efficient, relying heavily on the indoor kitchen
for support. Alfresco™ has succeeded in its original goal of creating the products
needed to build the ultimate open air kitchen, and create an outdoor food preparation
environment that would please the most demanding professional chef. |
