Why every kitchen needs Alto-Shaam

For over 60 years Alto-Shaam has been the pioneers and innovators of low-temperature cooking and holding solutions essential to profitable foodservice operations across the globe.

Based just outside of Milwaukee in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin in the United States, Alto-Shaam began in the 1950s when founder Jerry Maahs sought a solution to transport cooked chickens during winter. By the 1960s Jerry experimented by wrapping thermal low-density heat cables around insulated containers thereby creating the unique technology that is Halo Heat.

Today the energy-efficient Halo Heat® cooking technology continues to keep Alto-Shaam at the forefront of Cook and Hold Commercial Oven innovations which have seen it awarded Best-In-Class for more than a decade.

No matter the size or style of foodservice operation, there’s an Alto-Shaam perfect for any commercial kitchen equipment. Here’s why:

Halo Heat® – Precise low-temperature cooking and holding are made possible using gentle radiant heat from low-density thermal cables surrounding the unit.

Low energy usage – Low-temperature cooking only requires low energy usage so it only costs a few dollars in energy to cook, hold or warm large volumes of food.

No hood or extraction required – With low emissions from the units, Alto-Shaam Cook and Hold oven doesn’t require extraction so can be placed anywhere in the kitchen. (* Always check local regulations regarding extraction)

Maximise yields – With no fans, air circulation or added humidity, the gentle cooking provided by Halo Heat® reduces shrinkage of proteins and maximise yields by up to 30%.

Cook, Hold and Smoke – Just one unit can offer the flexibility of low and slow cooking, smoking with real wood smoke and holding at temperature.

Unmonitored Cooking – Alto-Shaam’s low and slow cooking techniques are ideal for overnight cooking which can save on labour costs.

Don’t take it from us – hear Alto-Shaam user Rick Palesh explain the labour savings and greater yields he is seeing since switching to Alto-Shaam!

 

Over the past 60 years, Alto-Shaam has continued to innovate and lead the way in cook, hold, smoking, heated holding and serving solutions.
