The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer offers a com- pletely new method of cooking. With the Oven/ Steamer you have the choice of two cooking pro-

cesses: Steam and Hot Air, either...

The combination of circulating hot air and steam in the space saving, high performance Combi- Oven/Steamer leads to improvements in the fol- lowing areas:

Dincreased productivity in the kitchen

Da reduction in capital expenditures for multiple equipment replacement

Da wider range of menu choices D a simplified cleaning process

The work process is simplified since products are prepared on or in steam table pans and trays. Food can be cooked, stored, and transported with the same pans. Small amounts of product can be processed efficiently; pre-cooked and conve- nience foods can be reheated within minutes. Many frozen foods can be processed without pre- thawing. This flexibility in preparation reduces the need for kettles and steam tables since there is no need for large amounts of food to be kept warm for long periods of time.

Today the improvement of food quality is more im- portant than ever. Vegetables are cooked in the Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer without water at the optimal temperature of just under 100_C (212_F), maintaining valuable vitamins, minerals, nutrients and trace elements. Cooking meat in the Combi results in less shrinkage and a firmer, juicier product. The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer is being used more and more for baking. Steam and Hot Air modes make it a general purpose baking appliance.
