Merrychef® expands award winning connex range with new connex®12e

GUILDFORD, UK – October 2023 Following in the footsteps of the award winning conneX® 12 and 16, Merrychef® announces the launch of the new conneX®12e. This affordable high speed oven is the perfect first step for an operator looking to start up a hot food menu or expand and offer a greater variety of food.

Colin Lacey, VP and Managing Director of Merrychef sees the conneX® 12e opening up high speed cooking to more operators:

“Adding hot food to your business is an ideal way to boost sales and profits, but it can be challenging.  How do you create a menu that can be prepared and cooked quickly, with equipment that doesn’t take up a lot of space and above all produces food that is consistently good?  Many operators are using a sandwich press, a small oven, a grill, a microwave, and a multitude of other equipment; but in a small kitchen, space is incredibly limited and such manual equipment requires monitoring or you’ll end up with food that’s overcooked!  That’s where our new conneX® 12e comes in. A plug-and-play countertop unit that is compact and can turn out a chicken burrito in around 60 seconds.”

The conneX® 12e once again breaks new ground in the high-speed oven sector.  Featuring the Merrychef next generation controller, this 7” HD touchscreen is incredibly intuitive so staff can be trained easily and quickly, plus, the pre-programmed cookbook takes ease of use to the next level, it’s really as simple as touching a button. With quiet operation that makes it ideal for front of house locations, quick and easy installation, cool to touch sides, and a low amp plug, the new conneX 12®e heats up in less than 10 minutes and is easy to clean.

Alistair Farquhar CFSP MIH, National Sales Manager UK & Ireland, Welbilt has already seen a high level of interest for this new conneX® model,

“The level of interest in the conneX® 12e is being driven by its affordability. It has everything a smaller operator needs to start up a hot food offer. This is leading edge technology at a great entry level price.”
