From fine dining restaurants to kitchens and operators looking for small batch, artisanal production, the ReadyChef 8/12 is equipped with 34 complete programmes – from gelato, Bavarian cream, granita and custard – allowing the entire process to take place in one machine. 

At just 36cm wide and 55cm deep, it can hold 1.5-2.5kg of liquid per batch, producing between 2-3kg of gelato. Thanks to the patented Hard-O-Tronic ® technology, operators can set desired consistency, and the digital display accurately shows the production phases and temperatures for complete control. 

Paul Ingram, managing director of Carpigiani UK, said: “The ReadyChef 8/12 is a fantastic addition to the Carpigiani portfolio, opening up gelato, pastry and chocolate production on a smaller scale to a range of chefs and operators. It’s a machine built for kitchens that want to make fresh, artisanal products in a compact countertop footprint. Whether that’s a fine-dining restaurant plating gelato or an independent bakery creating pastry creams and chocolate, the ReadyChef 8/12 gives them control to do it well.” 

Complete with the Crystal function, exclusive to Carpigiani batch freezers, the ReadyChef 8/12 enables operators to fill molds and jars of any shape, and create plated desserts, gelato cakes, sticks and more. In addition, the gelato can be stored long-term at -18°C and served straight from the freezer – always soft, always ready and holding its shape during service.

Since its launch, the ReadyChef 8/12 has been in high demand, and is available to order now directly from Carpigiani UK, or through Carpigiani’s dealer network.
