October 2020

Some people think October means Halloween, my first thought is the last week of Oktoberfest in München. Here are three products that can help those Oktoberfest events and can be repurposed throughout the year.

The Cambro 16-ounce plastic beer mug is made of clear polycarbonate plastic which offers more durability than glass mugs. Perfect for non alcoholic Birch Beer or those large outdoor Oktoberfest events. Cambro provides the option of adding personalization to showcase the event or business, a great way to allow those in attendance to collect the mugs each year. The durable polycarbonate plastic allows these mugs to be frosted or chilled without fear of shattering due to rapid change in temperature.

When I think Oktoberfest, I think Bavarian Pretzels and Beer! There is no easier way to proof pretzel dough than by using a proofing box. Lockwood manufacturing has a wide range of half sized and full sized units with external temperature and humidity controls. Although the proofing box is one cabinet, my preference is the Dutch door configuration with universal rails. The blower fan and pan stop provides uniform heat distribution throughout cabinet regardless of how many pans are in the unit.

The perfect dipping cup for the knockwurst platter is the American Metalcraft angled 2.5 ounce sauce cup. This cup is double walled and has a satin finish that is not only durable but will hide scratches and fingerprints. The wide opening is perfect for dipping larger items and the angle gives a very modern presentation to the standard sauce cup.
