AC-500 XCEL specifications

The Blodgett AC-500 XCEL is a state-of-the-art convection oven designed to meet the rigorous demands of commercial kitchens while ensuring exceptional performance, reliability, and efficiency. With a focus on innovation, this equipment blends modern technology with user-friendly features, making it a must-have for chefs and restaurant operators.

One of the primary features of the AC-500 XCEL is its advanced heating system, which includes a unique, high-capacity heating element. This design allows for rapid heat-up times and consistent temperature control, essential for baking, roasting, and many other cooking methods. The oven utilizes a one-piece stainless steel construction that not only provides durability but also ensures easy cleaning and maintenance.

The AC-500 XCEL is equipped with patented technology that provides enhanced air circulation within the cooking chamber. This technology ensures even baking results regardless of the oven's load, helping to eliminate hotspots and uneven cooking. With this enhanced airflow, chefs can expect optimal results when baking breads, pastries, or cooking proteins, ensuring that every dish meets the highest standards.

Another key characteristic of the Blodgett AC-500 XCEL is its user-friendly digital controls. The intuitive interface allows operators to easily set and monitor cooking times and temperatures. It also offers programmable cooking modes, permitting the storage of up to 100 different recipes, which adds convenience and consistency in fast-paced kitchen environments.

Additionally, the oven comes with a steam mode that creates a humid environment ideal for certain baking processes, helping to achieve that perfect crust on breads or maintaining moisture in roasted meats. The steam injection system is designed for efficiency, ensuring that the desired level of humidity is reached quickly and precisely.

The AC-500 XCEL is also designed with energy efficiency in mind. Its insulation minimizes heat loss and reduces energy consumption, making it an environmentally-friendly option for commercial kitchens. This not only helps to lower utility costs but also aligns with the growing trend towards sustainability in the foodservice industry.

In summary, the Blodgett AC-500 XCEL convection oven stands out because of its powerful heating system, advanced air circulation technology, user-friendly digital controls, effective steam injection, and energy-efficient design.
