The Lock-Eat collection from Luigi Bormioli is a new range of innovative transparent glass jars and carafes. Especially designed to enable chefs to more easily can, preserve and serve food at table. The Lock-Eat collection is exclusively distributed to the UK foodservice industry by Artis.
How Lock-Eat works
Lock-Eat makes it possible to easily preserve fruit, vegetables, jams & jellies, syrups and fruit juices. The Lock-Eat jar or carafe is sealed off from the air by means of a fully detachable glass lid, a natural rubber gasket and a stainless steel elastic clamp to avoid the development of bacteria. During cooking, the elastic clamp allows internal steam and air to be expelled without allowing any external air in. Once the jar has cooled down after cooking, a vacuum will have taken place inside the jar.
The vacuum is released by pulling on the rubber tab. It is possible to test for a vacuum at any time by simply attempting to lift the stainless steel elastic clamp. Being made from glass, the contents of the jar may be visually checked at any time.
The Lock-Eat system, which has a fully detachable lid and closure, is both freezer and dishwasher safe. The jars are also stackable to save on storage space. By removing the stainless steel elastic clamp, the jar can also be microwaved. The standard jar lid fits all sizes of jar bases and, likewise, carafe lids can be used with any size of carafe. The eco-friendly jar and lid are re-usable and fully recyclable.
