Regale Microwave Ovens will return to Lockhart Catering Equipment’s Catering Innovation Show this October, showcasing a range of Panasonic professional kitchen equipment alongside the latest developments from its Microsave® brand.
Taking place on Monday 5 October 2026 at the Business Design Centre, London, the Catering Innovation Show brings together manufacturers, suppliers, chefs and foodservice professionals for a day dedicated to the latest developments in commercial catering equipment.
On the Regale stand M20, visitors will be able to see solutions spanning professional rice cooking, heavy-duty microwave technology and equipment protection, with the Panasonic SR-PGE54 Pro IH Rice Cooker, Panasonic NE-1878 commercial microwave, two Microsave® cavity liner options and Microsave® Teflon cooking trays all on display.
Professional induction rice cooking
Following the recent expansion of Regale’s professional kitchen equipment range, the Panasonic SR-PGE54 Pro IH Rice Cooker will make its Catering Innovation Show debut.
Designed for restaurants, catering operations and institutional kitchens, the high-performance 5.4-litre, 30-cup model uses induction heating and alternating convection to generate inner and outer heat currents, moving the rice dynamically during cooking to support consistent results, flavour and texture.
Its inclusion on the stand demonstrates Regale’s growing focus on complementary professional kitchen equipment beyond its established commercial microwave and accelerated cooking specialism.
Exclusive show promotion
Visitors to the Regale stand will also have the chance to enter a prize draw to win a Panasonic SR-UH36FLXC 3.6-litre professional rice cooker, worth £330, worth £330, plus 5kg of Tilda Easy Cook Basmati Rice.
Regale is also running an exclusive show offer for visitors ordering at the event. Anyone ordering a Panasonic professional rice cooker from Regale at the show will receive a free 5kg bag of Tilda Easy Cook Basmati Rice with every unit ordered, while promotional stocks last.
Panasonic inverter microwave technology
Visitors will also be able to see the Panasonic NE-1878, one of Regale’s established heavy-duty commercial microwave solutions.
Delivering 1800W microwave power, the compact NE-1878 incorporates Panasonic inverter technology to provide accurate and consistent power throughout the cooking cycle, helping operators achieve more even cooking, reheating and defrosting.
An innovative all-metal door provides a smooth internal surface for easier cleaning, while its compact, stackable design makes the NE-1878 particularly suited to busy professional kitchens where space, speed and reliability are important considerations.
Microsave® protection for busy kitchens
Alongside the equipment, Regale will showcase two of the latest developments within its Microsave® cavity liner range, designed to help operators protect commercial microwaves against food particles, grease, splatters and spillages while reducing time-intensive cleaning.
The distinctive Microsave® Gen:2 Papaya cavity liner is manufactured from a robust, 100% recyclable material and offers up to a 20% saving compared with the Original Microsave® range while maintaining the trusted protection associated with the brand.
Also on display will be the new CPS23 Microsave® liner, allowing visitors to explore the different cavity protection options available and discuss the most appropriate solution for their equipment and operation.
Visitors will also be able to see Microsave® Teflon cooking trays, designed for use in commercial microwaves and accelerated cooking ovens. Featuring an extra-thick Teflon coating and reinforced support, the reusable trays help contain food and spillages during cooking, reducing cleaning requirements and helping to protect equipment. Available in a choice of colours, they can also support operators with managing cross-contamination within busy kitchen environments.
Iain Phillips, Managing Director of Regale Microwave Ovens, commented: “The Catering Innovation Show gives us a great opportunity to meet operators and industry partners face-to-face and demonstrate some of the practical solutions we can offer today’s commercial kitchens.
“This year we’re bringing together several different areas of our range, from Panasonic’s professional induction rice cooking technology and the NE-1878 through to our latest Microsave cavity protection solutions and Teflon cooking trays.
“While the products perform very different roles, they are all ultimately about helping operators run efficient, reliable kitchens and get the best from their equipment. We’re looking forward to demonstrating them and talking to visitors about their individual requirements.”
