Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Tattie Shack' in Glasgow was looking to upgrade their ageing oven to a more reliable and  visually appealing countertop potato oven. They needed something that could keep up with lunch demand while also tempting customers queuing for coffee.

"The King Edward baker has been brilliant. It cooks the spuds perfectly every time, and  the warm display really does sell them for us. Customers see them looking all fluffy and  ready to go, and  they can't resist. It looks the part on our counter, too."

Ewan McGregor – Owner

The result? The Tattie Shack increased its jacket potato sales by over 40% in the first two months, significantly boosting their lunchtime profits.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a sturdy, level countertop with plenty of space for air to circulate around the back and  sides.
  • Make sure it’s within easy reach of a standard 13-amp, 3-pin socket – no special wiring needed.
  • Before your first batch, give the inside a quick wipe and  run the oven empty for 20 minutes to burn off any residues.
  • Position it where customers can easily see the illuminated display for maximum sales impact.

Keeping It Going

  • After each service, wipe down the glass and  stainless steel interior with a damp, soapy cloth.
  • The removable wire shelves can be taken out and  washed in the sink for a thorough clean.
  • Regularly check that the door seal is clean and  intact to maintain oven efficiency.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive scourers or chemicals on the claret exterior to keep it looking pristine.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Potato Baker

Not sure which spud-tacular machine is right for you? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Capacity vs. Covers

Think about your busiest period. This 60-potato model is perfect for most cafes and  pubs, but if you're a huge venue, you might need to think bigger.

Cook, Hold or Both?

This model is a fantastic 2-in-1, cooking potatoes and then holding them in a stunning display. It saves you from needing a separate baked potato warmer for your restaurant.

Power Up

Always check your power supply. The beauty of this oven is it runs off a standard 13-amp plug, so you can set it up almost anywhere without an electrician.

Front-of-House Appeal

Don't underestimate looks! A traditional, attractive oven like this one acts as a silent salesperson, tempting customers with a great display.

The Clean-Up Job

Look for features that make life easier. A stainless steel interior with rounded corners and  removable shelves, like on this oven, makes daily cleaning a doddle.

How Fan-Assisted Cooking Guarantees the Perfect Jacket Every Time

Ever wondered what 'fan-assisted' actually means for your spuds? It's simple, but it makes all the difference. A small fan inside the oven circulates the hot air, making sure every corner of the oven is at the same temperature. This eliminates 'hot spots' that can burn one side of a potato while leaving the other undercooked.

Think of it like this: a standard oven is like leaving laundry to dry on a still day, whereas a fan-assisted oven is like having a gentle breeze. The breeze ensures everything dries evenly and  much faster. In this King Edward potato baker, it means you get a perfectly crisp skin and  a light, fluffy inside on every single potato, every single time. No more rotating trays or worrying about inconsistent results.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafes & Delis: A fantastic way to add a profitable and  beloved lunch special to your menu.
  • Pubs & Bars: Ideal for offering hearty, traditional pub grub that perfectly complements a pint.
  • Mobile Caterers: Its compact, plug-and-play design makes it perfect for markets, festivals, and  events.
  • Farm Shops & Garden Centres: A brilliant addition to attract lunchtime visitors and  offer a comforting, simple meal.
