Product Overview

Ever wonder how the best pubs get their jacket potatoes so ridiculously fluffy on the inside with that perfect crispy skin? Well, this is a big part of the secret. The Lincat Invoq Imperial Potato Spikes tray is a purpose-built accessory designed to work seamlessly with your 1/1 GN combi oven, turning it into a high-performance commercial potato baking oven.

Specifically engineered for busy commercial kitchens, from bustling chippies to large-scale canteens, this tray is all about efficiency and  consistency. Each of the 28 spikes acts as a heat conductor, driving warmth straight to the core of the potato. This simple bit of science means your spuds cook faster and, more importantly, more evenly, banishing those disappointingly hard centres for good.

If you're looking to elevate your potato game, reduce waste, and  speed up service, this is the bit of kit you need. It’s a small investment that delivers a huge improvement in quality and  output, making it an essential tool for anyone serious about serving the perfect jacket potato.

  • Pros: Drastically speeds up cooking and  ensures a perfectly fluffy texture every time.
  • Cons: A specialist piece, so it’s most valuable for kitchens with high potato turnover.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Drover's Arms' in Inverness were finding their lunchtime jacket potato service was becoming a bottleneck. Their existing method was slow and  often resulted in wasted spuds that were either undercooked or burnt.

"We were constantly playing a guessing game with the potatoes, which is a nightmare during a busy service. Since we got these Lincat spikes, every single potato comes out perfect. We just load them up and  we know they'll be ready, fluffy, and  hot right when we need them."

Robert Mills – Head Chef

The pub has now successfully reduced its potato cooking time by over 30% and  has seen a significant drop in food waste, improving both service speed and  profit margins.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the tray thoroughly in warm, soapy water.
  • The tray is designed to slide directly into any standard 1/1 GN oven rack.
  • For best results, choose medium-sized baking potatoes of a similar size for even cooking.
  • Firmly press each potato onto a spike until it feels secure.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the tray to cool down completely before handling and  cleaning.
  • Clean after every use to prevent food build-up. Soaking in warm water can help loosen baked-on residue.
  • Use a long-bristled brush to clean effectively between the spikes.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers, as they can damage the aluminium surface.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Combi Oven Accessories

Need a hand picking the perfect kit for your oven? Here are a few things to keep in mind to get the most out of your equipment.

Check Your GN Sizing

Always double-check that the accessory matches your oven's Gastronorm (GN) size. This 1/1 GN tray is the most common standard, but it always pays to be sure.

Match the Material to the Mission

Aluminium, like in this Lincat potato baker accessory, is brilliant for fast heat conduction. For general use or holding, stainless steel is a tough all-rounder.

Purpose-Built is Best

Specialist tools like these potato spikes are designed to do one job perfectly. While a flat tray is versatile, it will never bake a potato as quickly or evenly.

Consider the Clean-Up

Think about how easy an item will be to clean during a busy service. Simple designs with fewer awkward corners will always save your team time and  effort.

Know Your Volume

Choose accessories that match your output. A 28-potato capacity tray is ideal for high-demand environments, ensuring you can cook in efficient, large batches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this tray compatible with ovens other than Lincat?

A: It's designed specifically for Lincat combi ovens but will fit any commercial oven that uses standard 1/1 GN racking.

Q: What is the best type of potato to use with the spikes?

A: For that classic fluffy jacket, baking potatoes such as Maris Piper, King Edward, or Russet varieties are ideal.

Q: Do I still need to prick the potatoes with a fork before baking?

A: No, the spikes pierce the skin sufficiently, which prevents the potatoes from splitting while they cook.

Q: Can I cook anything else on this tray?

A: It is primarily designed for potatoes, but you could use it for similar large root vegetables like sweet potatoes or whole onions to speed up their cooking time.

Q: How much faster will my potatoes cook?

A: While times vary based on potato size and  oven temperature, you can typically expect a reduction in cooking time of up to a third compared to a standard baking tray.

Q: Is the aluminium alloy tray heavy?

A: No, it weighs just over 1kg, making it very lightweight and  easy to handle even when fully loaded.

Q: Are the spikes sharp?

A: They are pointed enough to easily pierce a raw potato but are not dangerously sharp to the touch. Normal care should be taken when handling.

Q: Is it dishwasher safe?

A: To preserve the life and  performance of the aluminium alloy, we strongly recommend hand washing with a non-abrasive brush and  mild detergent.

How Heat-Conducting Spikes Master the Perfect Bake

Ever put a metal skewer through a potato to help it cook? This tray works on the exact same principle, but it's been perfected for professional kitchens. The magic is in the material – aluminium alloy is a fantastic conductor of heat. Think of each spike as a tiny, super-efficient radiator that starts working from the very centre of the potato.

While the hot air in your Lincat Invoq Imperial potato oven is crisping up the skin from the outside, the 28 spikes are funnelling heat directly into the core. This simultaneous inside-out and  outside-in cooking is what slashes the baking time and, crucially, eliminates any chance of finding a dense, hard spot in the middle. It's a simple, clever way to guarantee that perfect, fluffy texture right through the spud.
