Baking, roasting, cooking and frying

During the event, we all want to keep everything safe and clean. So, if you wish to bake, roast, cook and/or fry food at your stand, there are a couple of guidelines to keep in mind.

Fire brigade exemption

Firstly, a fire service exemption for open flames or pressure containers is required for all food-preparation activities using heat generation, including electric cookers. When using open flames and gas bottles it is extra important that the correct safety measures are taken.

After you have applied for the exemption, we will contact you to discuss these security measures. In this webshop you can order various items such as fire extinguishers and fire-resistant products.

Compulsory extractor fan or filer

If you want to bake, cook and/or fry at your stand, you must use an air filter or extractor hood. If you have an air filter with sufficient capacity to filter and neutralize all odours, this is often sufficient.

Frying

As an air filter often fails to sufficiently neutralise odours, you may need an extractor system 

 

	Small kitchen fryer
An extractor system won’t be necessary when using a small kitchen fryer with lid and filter.

 

 

	Regular fryer without lid
You will need a small extractor system for a regular fryer without lid (<3 kW).

 

 

	Professional fryer
For a large professional fryer (>3 kW) you’ll need a large extractor system.

 

Extractor systems can be ordered from our webshop, but you’ll need to bring the hood yourself. Our technical staff will help connect your hood to the extractor system. We have standing and suspended systems available. The standing version is less expensive as it does not requires rigging.

 

	Smoke/gas
If you would like to use an open fire or an oven, you’ll require a smoke/gas extractor connected to the outside. This will always be arranged in consultation with our technical staff. Please contact Exhibitor Services for more details.

Frying or cooking oil

If you use frying or cooking oil at your stand, please install a grease separator on your water outlet to prevent blockage of our drainage system. Any repairs to our drainage system required due to failure to observe this rule will be at your expense. You can also make use of the waste cooking oil container. You can find this under cleaning and waste removal in this webshop.
