Panasonic launch try before you buy service

Professional microwave supplier Panasonic has announced it is giving catering operators the chance to trial its SCV2 speed convection oven for four weeks, for free.

Using Panasonic's unique Inverter technology, the SCV2 heats gently enough for soup and will toast a panini in under a minute, yet has a small footprint, is stackable and can be located anywhere, front or back of house, thanks to its catalytic converter, eliminating the need for any extraction.

Andrew Whyte, assistant product manager, at Panasonic UK, said: "We wanted to make the SCV2 accessible to as many operators as possible because we understand there may be hesitancy in investing in a piece of quality equipment up front. By offering a free trial, we can ensure that any barriers to making a decision can be removed and demonstrate fully the features and benefits of this remarkable oven in a customer's own kitchen."

To get your hands on an SCV2, free for four weeks, all you have to do is email your interest at commercial.ovens@eu.panasonic.com.
