Regale Microwave Ovens has expanded its professional kitchen equipment range with the addition of two Panasonic professional rice cookers, designed to help foodservice operators deliver consistent rice quality across a wide range of commercial kitchen settings.
The Panasonic SR-PGE54 Pro IH Rice Cooker and SR-UH36 Pro Rice Cooker are now available from Regale, giving chefs and caterers a choice of professional rice cooking solutions depending on capacity, kitchen format and operational requirements.
The SR-PGE54 Pro IH Rice Cooker is a high-performance 5.4-litre, 30-cup model designed for restaurants, catering services and institutional kitchens requiring precision, consistency and efficiency. Using powerful induction heating and alternating convection, the unit generates inner and outer heat currents to move the rice dynamically during cooking, helping to achieve even results, enhanced flavour and improved texture.
The model features a diamond-coated non-stick inner pot, LED control panel, cooking stage indicators, three rice hardness settings and six cooking modes, including White Rice, Rinse-free, Brown Rice, Sushi Rice, Mixed Rice and Porridge. It also includes a manual cooking mode, auto-soaking function, delay timer and keep warm function, supporting kitchens that need reliable output during busy service periods.
Also available from Regale is the Panasonic SR-UH36 Pro Rice Cooker, a 3.6-litre, 20-cup model suited to hot buffets, pubs, restaurants, canteens, takeaways and self-service operations. Designed for straightforward day-to-day use, it features a removable non-stick pan, easy-open lid, water gauge for sushi rice and up to 12 hours’ keep warm functionality.
The SR-UH36 also includes a lid heater for 360° keep warm drum cooking, wrap around heater for improved heat retention, thermal reed switch to monitor and maintain heat, steaming vent to help prevent soggy rice and a scoop holder for convenience.
Iain Phillips, Managing Director of Regale Microwave Ovens, said: “Rice is a staple menu item across so many foodservice operations, but achieving consistent results at volume can be challenging without the right equipment. These Panasonic professional rice cookers give operators two strong options, from the advanced SR-PGE54 induction model for higher-volume precision cooking to the SR-UH36 for reliable, easy-to-use rice preparation and holding.
“At Regale, we are best known for commercial microwaves, high-speed ovens and their accessories, but our wider focus is on supporting professional kitchens with trusted equipment that improves consistency, efficiency and service. The addition of these Panasonic rice cookers strengthens that offer and gives our customers access to dependable solutions from a brand they already know and trust.”
