47 Years and Still Cooking
47 Years and Still Cooking : A Testament to Falcon Quality. Sometimes, even the best things must eventually make way for the new. We recently received a request from a long-time client to replace their Falcon ovens. Now, you might think this is a sign of wear and tear, a breakdown, or perhaps a lack of performance. But you’d be wrong. These Falcon ovens, after a remarkable 47 years of faithful service, are still going strong. Our client simply felt that, after nearly half a century, “it might be time” to update to the latest models.
Unwavering Reliability
Isn’t that incredible? 47 years of daily use in a commercial kitchen, and these ovens are still performing. This speaks volumes about the enduring quality, robust build, and sheer reliability of Falcon products. It’s a testament to the craftsmanship and engineering that goes into every piece of Falcon equipment, designed to withstand the rigours of a professional kitchen environment.
A Rich History
This longevity isn’t a fluke. Falcon has a long and storied history, stretching back over 200 years. Founded in 1819 in Falkirk as the Falkirk Iron Company, Falcon’s origins predate even the birth of Queen Victoria. Imagine a world where George III was King, the Duke of Wellington was battling Napoleon, and illustrious brands like Harrods and Cadbury were yet to be conceived. That was the world in which Falcon began, initially crafting all manner of cast iron goods, from lamp posts and bridge supports to railings. It wasn’t until the 1850s that Falcon made its first foray into the world of cooking equipment, with the production of a cooking range.
A Comprehensive Range
From these humble beginnings, Falcon has grown into a leading name in commercial catering, consistently delivering top-of-the-line equipment and earning the trust of chefs and kitchens worldwide. They’ve built a reputation for excellence that has spanned generations.
Falcon isn’t just about ovens, either. They offer a comprehensive range of commercial catering solutions, covering every aspect of the professional kitchen. From chargrills that sear meats to perfection, to grills that deliver those perfect char lines, and fryers that produce crispy, golden delights, Falcon has it all. Their range also includes boiling tops for simmering sauces and stocks, bain maries for keeping food at the ideal temperature, and, of course, their renowned oven ranges, the heart of any busy kitchen.
Innovation and the Future
What sets Falcon apart is their commitment to innovation. While their legacy is built on quality and durability, they’re not resting on their laurels. They continually invest in research and development, pushing the boundaries of cooking technology to create equipment that is more efficient, more versatile, and more user-friendly. This means that even after 47 years of outstanding service, upgrading to the latest Falcon models offers significant advantages in terms of performance, energy efficiency, and features.
A Legacy of Excellence
Our client’s decision to update their ovens, not because they’ve failed, but because they recognise the value of embracing the latest technology, is a powerful endorsement of Falcon’s position at the forefront of the commercial catering market. It underscores the fact that Falcon isn’t just about building equipment that lasts; they’re about building equipment that empowers chefs to focus on what they do best: creating exceptional food. And that’s a legacy worth celebrating.
