At the recent National Restaurant Show, Waring unveiled the Planit POD Fermentation Chamber, a groundbreaking appliance that allows commercial kitchens to produce customizable plant-based proteins in just 24 hours. This system, born from decades of development by Gunter Pfaff and further refined by the DuPuis Group, revolutionizes on-premise fermentation, moving beyond makeshift methods to a sophisticated, efficient solution.
Retailing at around $2,000, the device empowers chefs to create diverse proteins from chickpeas, lentils, and mushrooms, potentially sparking a novel category within kitchen equipment. As culinary trends pivot towards plant-based options, this innovation not only streamlines production but also lays the groundwork for a new protein supply chain, positioning restaurants at the forefront of sustainable gastronomy. The future is here, and with it, a chance for chefs to reclaim control over their protein sources.
