A truly reliable workhorse.

  • Show and  Sell: The illuminated warmer doesn't just hold potatoes; it actively sells them for you.
  • Specialist Kit: It’s designed purely for potatoes, so don’t expect it to be a general-purpose oven.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Hungry Hiker's Rest' café in Keswick wanted to expand their hot lunch menu beyond soups and  paninis, but lacked the space for a full kitchen extension. They chose the King Edward PB1FV to add a classic, high-margin item that wouldn't require major changes.

"It was up and  running within minutes of unboxing. The best part is the aroma when customers walk in – it does the selling for us! It's been a brilliant, simple way to increase our lunchtime takings."

Robert Finch – Owner

Since installing the oven, the café has increased its daily lunch cover profits by over 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a sturdy, level countertop with a few inches of space around the unit for ventilation.
  • It comes with a standard 13A plug, so just plug it straight into the wall socket. No electrician needed!
  • Before you cook your first batch, give the interior a quick wipe and  run it empty for 20 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues.
  • For best results, place it where customers can see that lovely illuminated display.

Keeping It Going

  • Always switch off and  unplug the oven before you start cleaning. Safety first!
  • Wipe the stainless steel interior daily with a damp cloth and  a mild detergent.
  • The removable wire shelves can be taken out and  washed in a sink for a proper clean.
  • Give the glass door a regular wipe-down with a glass cleaner to keep the display looking its best.

Why Fan-Assisted Cooking Delivers the Perfect Spud

Ever wondered what 'fan-assisted' actually means for a potato? Think of a conventional oven as a bit like a radiator – the heat comes from one place and  slowly fills the space, which can lead to hot spots. A fan-assisted oven, like the one in this King Edward PB1FV oven, adds a fan that circulates the hot air constantly. It’s like a gentle, hot whirlwind inside the oven. This moving air cooks the potatoes from all sides at once, which means they cook about 20% faster and  much more evenly. The result? No more sad spuds with a burnt bottom and  a hard middle; just a perfectly crisp skin and  a wonderfully fluffy inside, every single time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Coffee Shops

    Ideal for adding a high-profit, classic lunch option to your menu with minimal fuss or kitchen space.

  • Pubs & Bars

    A fantastic way to serve up hearty, traditional pub grub that customers absolutely love, especially on a cold day.

  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks

    Its compact size and  standard plug make this restaurant potato baking machine a brilliant addition for events and  festivals.

  • Takeaways & Delis

    Offer a warm, comforting alternative to sandwiches that's quick to serve during the busy lunch rush.
