Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice, a popular artisan deli in Shrewsbury, was looking for a way to introduce a unique hot snack to their lunchtime menu without investing in a full bakery setup. They added the Hatco Chelky Plate to their existing equipment to test a new product.

"It's been fantastic. We've created our own 'Shrewsbury Swirls' using the plate, and  they sell out almost every day. It's so simple to use, and  the results are incredibly consistent, which is exactly what we need."

Robert Evans – Head Chef

The deli now sells over 150 Swirls a week, which has increased their savoury pastry sales by an impressive 40%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always ensure the parent Hatco unit is switched off and  completely cool before installing or removing the plate.
  • Check that the plate and  the unit's slots are clean and  free from any food debris.
  • Simply align the plate with the guides in your machine and  slide it in firmly until it sits securely in place.
  • Before first use, it's a good idea to wash the plate with warm, soapy water and  dry it thoroughly.

Keeping It Going

  • For the best results and  longevity, clean the plate after every use once it has cooled down.
  • Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals.
  • For any stubborn, baked-on residue, allow it to soak in warm water before cleaning.
  • Always dry the plate completely before storing it to prevent any water spots or damage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Kitchen Accessories

Not sure if this is the right addition for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Check Compatibility

This is a genuine Hatco part, but it's crucial to double-check that it's designed for your specific model of Hatco 5 plate dispenser or heated unit.

Analyse Your Menu

Think about whether a unique baked pastry fits with your brand and  current offerings. It's perfect for adding value to coffee, dessert, or breakfast menus.

Consider Throughput

This plate bakes five bars at a time. Consider your peak hours – is this capacity enough to keep up with demand for a new, popular item?

Factor In Storage

While compact, you'll need a safe, dry, and  flat space to store the plate when it's not in use to prevent it from getting damaged.

Ease of Cleaning

In a busy kitchen, every second counts. The smooth, simple design of this plate ensures it can be washed and  put back into service quickly.

Why Even Heat Distribution Makes All the Difference

Ever wondered why some pastries have a burnt bottom and  a pale top? It often comes down to poor heat distribution. This Hatco plate is engineered to prevent that exact problem. Think of it like a high-end, heavy-bottomed saucepan compared to a cheap, thin one. The cheap pan develops hot spots, burning your food in the middle while the edges stay undercooked.

This plate, however, is made from a specific grade and  thickness of metal that acts as a perfect heat conductor. It draws energy from the commercial heated plate dispenser unit and  spreads it evenly across the entire surface. This means every single part of your five chelky bars receives the same amount of heat, ensuring they rise and  bake to a consistent, beautiful golden brown from end to end. It's the engineering secret to getting that perfect, professional finish every single time.
