Hobart Mixer: Newest Addition to the Community Kitchen

One can only imagine the surprise and joy that Chef Floyd, his staff, and culinary students felt this morning when a Commercial Grade Hobart Counter Mixer arrived at the Second Harvest Food Bank and Community Kitchen!  This generous gift was made possible by John Van't Slot, a local representative and product tester for Hobart.


The new mixer is a much needed addition to the community kitchen team who prepare thousands of meals EACH day to be delivered and served at our 34 Kids Cafe sites.  Chef Floyd says "the Hobart mixer will allow us to prepare one of the kid's favorites, blueberry cobbler, in less than half the time it took with our old mixer (see picture below) and in one day instead of two!"  He also claimed that the bakers couldn't wait to get their hands on the mixer this morning- they were so excited they wanted to carry it in to the kitchen themselves and set it up immediately!

Many, many thanks to John and the Hobart community!
