Oja! Farms wins a Staycold Underbar
Oja! Farms was crowned winner of STAYCOLD International’s #itcouldbeyours Underbar Competition.
They won a new Staycold Glass Door Underbar with Pizza Top for their soya plant establishment.
The panel from Staycold, a South African manufacturer of self-contained commercial fridges and freezers, deemed them the most deserving winner out of 54 entries received from chefs, restaurants, and other establishments located in the Southern African Customs Union.
With the current economic environment in South Africa, Oja! Farms opted to set up a soya plant, which proved to be very successful.
The competition was launched in June following Chef Bertus Basson’s In Die Sop programme.
Staycold then followed suit, to encourage restaurants to draw on Chef Bertus’ wisdom that buying proper equipment actually saves money in the long run.
Riette Strydom, the food developer for Oja! Farms, was excited and thankful to win the competition.
“The Staycold Underbar will help us when cooking food, and will break the negative connotation of soya! We will also be able to cook a little extra every time in order to give more to the old age homes that we support, as well as keep all the food cold. Thank you Staycold.”
Staycold’s Underbar was taken to market in 2020, and is produced in two different variations, a flat top and a pizza top, with solid door or glass door models.
The Underbar is used primarily in a prep area or a front-of-house bar area. It serves as a combination refrigerator, equipment stand and preparation area.
What sets Staycold’s Underbar apart, is that it’s built with Staycold’s pioneering principles of quality, efficiency, performance, reliability, and durability; uses natural refrigerant gas, so is better for the planet; has a 304 stainless steel top, making it more durable; has LED internal lighting; has good temperature regulation inside the unit with its digital thermostat, uses less electricity and it comes in under the market-related price.
