The shift away from fossil fuels toward electrification is well underway. Natural gas is no longer the cheap and abundant energy source it once was. In Victoria alone, gas prices have risen by 35 per cent in under two years. For businesses, electrification is proving to be both a more cost-effective and sustainable alternative, aligning with Australia’s renewable energy targets of 25 per cent by 2030 and 95 per cent by 2045.
Across Europe, commercial industries have already made significant progress in electrification — and the Australian foodservice sector is perfectly positioned to follow.
Over 100 years of Mareno innovation
For more than a century, Mareno has been delivering premium commercial kitchen solutions from Italy, offering gas, electric, and induction appliances. Mareno believes that the kitchen of the future will be increasingly electric and is proud to introduce the new Mareno M1 Series to the market. Designed to create a coherent, functional, and powerful kitchen, the M1 Series simplifies the everyday tasks for those in the kitchen with an emphasis on improving use of space and hygienic standards with innovative new features. As the demand for powerful, space-efficient electric cooking solutions grows, Mareno has delivered a product range that meets and exceeds industry expectations.
The advantage of electric cooking with M1
Electric and induction cooking in commercial kitchens offers clear advantages, both immediately and over time. Induction heats cookware faster than gas, with minimal energy loss and an efficiency rate of around 90%, compared to gas’s 40%. M1 pan recognition technology further improves efficiency by activating heat only when a pot or pan is in place.
Safety and ease of use are also major benefits. Induction cooktops eliminate open flames, significantly reducing burn risks. Their flat surfaces are easy to clean, and because heat is localised to the pan, the overall kitchen environment remains cooler.
The M1 electric range is also equipped with a safety thermostat that features a manual reset option in case the unit trips due to excessive heat conditions. With an IPX5 water-resistant rating, these units are designed to withstand water spray from a nozzle without damage.
The Mareno M1 electric series is the high-performance commercial kitchen solution the industry has been waiting for and with additional cost-effective options available, such as glass ceramic cooktops, caters for a wide range of budgets. While the future is undoubtedly electric, gas still holds a valued place in the Australian foodservice sector, and the M1 range delivers excellence across both.
Governments across Australia continue to collaborate with energy, manufacturing, and construction sectors to guide the transition to a low-emissions future. Choosing electric commercial kitchen equipment is not just an investment in performance and safety, it’s a commitment to environmental responsibility.
