The Department of Education of the Basque Government has begun to deploy a new model of vertical electric kitchens in school canteens to improve the nutritional quality of menus and advance sustainability. 

Education Counselor Begoña Pedrosa has presented the system during her visit to the Lardizabal Public School in Aia , one of the five schools with these kitchens in Bilbao, Alonsotegi and Hondarribia.

According to Pedrosa, these kitchens allow cooking with less fat , encourage the use of fresh vegetables and take advantage of techniques such as steam, and also improve the working conditions of workers by eliminating the need to manipulate heavy packaging.

Multifunction equipment and high-capacity furnaces reduce times and offer night or deferred preparations with the possibility of remote digital control.

The plan is part of the 2030 Build Education strategy, where 28 kitchens will be installed and 16 kitchens in the area will be launched by 2027, which will allow meals at a major school and the distribution of new menus prepared to nearby schools.

In addition, the Department of Education emphasizes space savings, energy efficiency and the possibility of solar power as keys to a model aimed at modernizing and making the school dining service more sustainable.
