So, you’ve made a significant investment in a high-speed oven—a Turbochef, Merrychef, or the like. You bought it for speed and consistency, but are you getting the full performance you paid for? If you're relying on standard trays, the answer is probably no.
High-speed ovens are a different beast. The intense, rapid heat requires accessories that can not only withstand the punishment but actually enhance the cooking process. For complex or high-value products, a flat sheet often struggles to keep up.
This is where a specialised bit of engineering called Multidirectional Film makes all the difference. It’s the key to unlocking consistent, waste-free results that justify your oven's capabilities.
Let's break down what it is and why it's so critical for high-speed applications.
So, What Exactly is Multidirectional Film?
In simple terms, Multidirectional Film is a proprietary process for creating custom-moulded PTFE trays and pans where the non-stick material is uniformly applied and tensioned in multiple directions.
Think of it like this:
-
A standard PTFE sheet is a flat, two-dimensional surface.
-
A Multidirectional Film product is a seamless, three-dimensional, non-stick "cradle" engineered to the exact contours of your food.
This isn't just about coating a metal mould. It's a precise technique that ensures a consistent, high-performance non-stick layer across every complex curve, angle, and depth, without any weak points. We create bespoke moulds – from a four-muffin pan that gives you a perfect dome every time, to a four-egg pan for pre-cooked breakfasts, or a 0.5L container for ready meals.
Why Standard Accessories Struggle in High-Speed Ovens
Ovens like Turbochef and Merrychef use intense, focused heat to cook food rapidly. Standard trays can create three big problems in this environment:
-
Hotspots and Uneven Cooking: The fierce airflow and microwaves in these ovens need a clear path. A poorly designed mould can create air pockets, leading to some spots being burnt while others are undercooked—wasting the oven's precision.
-
Product "Shock" and Sticking: The rapid temperature rise can cause products to seize and stick almost instantly to an inferior non-stick surface. Getting a broken muffin or a torn egg out of a mould brings your service to a standstill.
-
Warping and Failure: Not all materials can handle the repeated thermal shock of going from ambient to 250°C in seconds and back again. Warped trays are unstable and unsafe.
Why You Need Multidirectional Film for Your High-Speed Oven
This is where the engineering pays for itself. A custom multidirectional film mould is designed to work with your oven's technology, not against it.
1. Engineered for Intense Heat Transfer
The seamless, uniform construction ensures heat is distributed evenly across the entire surface of the product. This means no more cold, doughy centres and burnt edges. You get the consistent result the oven is designed for, from the first serve to the hundredth.
2. Guaranteed Release Under Pressure
The multidirectional tension in the film creates an incredibly resilient non-stick surface that can handle the "shock" of rapid cooking. Your product releases cleanly every time, which maximises your yield and keeps your kitchen operating at full speed without the fuss.
3. Built for the Long Haul
We make these moulds to withstand the specific thermal cycling of high-speed ovens. They resist warping and degradation, meaning you're not forking out for replacements every few months. It’s a solid investment that reduces your long-term costs.
4. Optimised for Your Exact Workflow
Whether you need a mould for a specific branded muffin or a container that fits your meal prep system, a bespoke solution ensures you're maximising the space in the oven cavity and streamlining your process from start to finish.
Is a Multidirectional Film Mould Right for Your Kitchen?
This technology is a genuine game-changer for any operation using high-speed ovens to produce:
-
Complex baked goods like muffins, cupcakes, or pastries that need a perfect shape.
-
Individual portions like eggs, sausages, or frittatas that must hold their form.
-
Ready meals where presentation and consistent heating are paramount.
-
Any high-value product where waste from sticking or breakage directly hurts your bottom line.
The Bottom Line
You didn't buy a high-speed oven to be let down by your accessories. Multidirectional Film isn't just an upgrade; it's the missing piece that allows you to achieve the quality and efficiency you originally invested in.
While standard sheets are adequate for simple tasks, when your reputation and profitability are on the line, a bespoke multidirectional film mould is the smart choice. It’s about getting the job done properly.
