Intelligence, Efficiency, Convotherm
Welbilt looks to the future when it comes to developing new products under their many product lines, and it looks to continue with their new generation of combi steamers under the Convotherm family.
This is great for anyone looking for new additions to add to their kitchens, especially for kitchens that require space optimisation and who face manpower issues. But what does that mean for the people using the kitchens, for the chefs and staff who utilise kitchens every day?
For one thing, it means more efficiency and productivity within the Convotherm range of products. “Complex challenges should be simple and easy to master. This also includes cost-effectiveness, efficiency and, of course, hygiene. The functionality and resource-saving way of working make the Convotherm combi ovens that will help make top-class cuisine fit for tomorrow”, explains Mr Arndt Manter, Director of Product Management at Welbilt for Convotherm.
Every element of the Convotherm combi oven is extremely easy to use, thanks to the other benefit is that the hardware, functions and software on all levels of the ovens. This approach follows the Convotherm philosophy of IntelligentSimplicity, which refers to the combination of intelligence and simplicity in all area. By implementing complex requirements as simply and efficiently as possible, positively impacts service and operating costs. There’s a lot to be said about Welbilt’s smart equipment, and any information, work processes and data can be reviewed easily and from anywhere thanks to the kitchenconnect®, reducing time spent to assess and make decisions in a kitchen point of view.
The Convotherm family of combi ovens exemplifies its versatility in the following Functional Management Functions:
Climate Management: The patented closed system with Natural Smart Climate™, the custom-fit cooking space climate can be set for each product to ensure perfect cooking and baking results. In addition, energy efficiency has been improved by up to 10 % compared to the previous product.
Quality Management: A multitude of innovative functions help cooking and baking professionals to always achieve the best product quality. Smart sensors, particularly well-conceived routing using AirFlow Management as well as an intelligent, customized program-controlled interplay of steam, hot air and time ensure optimum quality for every item to be cooked and baked.
Production Management: Perfectly matched intelligent functions ensure that operating the Convotherm maxx pro is always simple and clear, even with the most complex processes. These include Press&Go, which guarantees automatic cooking at the touch of a finger, an integrated baking and cook book that can be viewed at the touch of a button, and TrayView, which is helpful for mixed loads on a rolling basis.
Cleaning Management: The fully automatic, multi-stage and environmentally friendly cleaning system is even approved for unattended operation. Since users never have direct contact with the cleaning agent, gloves are not required for use. What’s more, the innovative HygieniCare package provides extra hygiene in the kitchen.
But what about functions that would pertain to the culinary chef looking for a device that would help in the cooking, especially for catering? The Convotherm maxx pro and deluxe range has those functions as well, which includes techniques like smoking (ConvoSmoke), grilling (ConvoGrill), while also creating food at large quantities (ConvoServe) and, of course, artificial intelligence (ConvoSense)
. This makes the Convotherm maxx pro a dynamic machine in one, as the perfect smoking machine (for hot and cold smoking), the health conscious grill that achieves perfect results, the quiet, stress-free machine that maintains food at top quality for large parties and events, and all with artificial intelligence and cutting-edge sensor technology. It’s the innovative ConvoSense assistance system opens up completely new perspectives in food preparation.
It also has the function of BAKE, which means fresh baked goods, snacks and small dishes of the highest quality can be made in the Convotherm maxx pro BAKE. The Rise&Ready fermentation profiles are perfectly designed for producing baked goods. In addition, the multi-level baking function BakePro, which guarantees the best rise for small baked goods, an optimal crumb and shine of the baked goods, optimized suction panels as well as baking trays and accessories in the baker’s size of the Convotherm maxx pro meet the requirements of the bakery trade.
“For the development of the Convotherm combi ovens, we asked professionals all over the world what they would like from a high-end combi oven. We have incorporated the knowledge gained from this into the planning of the new generation of combi ovens and have been able to develop a high-definition device that is unique and redefines the meaning of premium,” concludes Mr Manter.
