Vita-Mix Commercial Blenders and Food Processors

Swiss-born Markus Iten is not just the busy executive chef at Cairo’s Seasons Resort and Country Club, he is also president of the Egyptian Chefs Association and an associate director with the World Association of Chefs’ Societies. No wonder it takes the speed and efficiency of a Vita-Mix commercial blender to keep up with him.

For the past three years, Chef Iten has been putting his Vita-Mix blender through its paces at his hotel, where it was one of the first products he introduced, in both the kitchen and bar areas. “It’s basically unbreakable,” he says. To prove his point, the energetic and innovative Chef Iten tried standing on the blender’s lid. “It didn’t even crack,” he reports, describing Vita-Mix as “where power meets performance.”

The secret behind that power is the strong and durable motor, which allows Chef Iten and his 36-person staff to easily tackle tasks including grinding nuts into powder, making rice flour from raw rice, and pureeing soups and coulis. “It can do all those difficult jobs. And for something very thick, like hummus, the motor safety shut-off is a big help,” Chef Iten says. “[The Vita-Mix blender] is one of the rare, good quality machines on the market for any industrial or private use.”–JT
