BACK TO SCHOOL

Here in Vermont, summer is almost over, Labor Day is just around the corner and the students are heading back to school.

In preparation for the 2010-2011 school year, Blodgett and the New England Culinary Institute teamed up to teach Burlington school district's food service staff how to prepare more nutritious meals for its school system. The training focused on healthy school food and the benefits of steam cooking in particular.

What will they be cooking in those Blodgett steamers? - as much local product as they can get. BSD was recently recognized in Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine for their commitment to using locally grown products in kid friendly dishes. "We're up to 23 farms now that we work with through the Burlington schools. A large percentage of our food comes and goes back into our local economy," said Doug Davis, the director of food service for Burlington Public Schools.

THE MANUAL COMBI THAT HAS IT ALL!

Introducing the BCM Manual Combi from Blodgett

Can you clean your dirty manual combi with the push of a button using generic cleaners? Can your easy to use manual combi store 10 product recipes? Can you delime your manual combi all by yourself just by pressing a key? The NEW BCM Manual Combi oven from Blodgett can do all of these things and more!

The BCM comes in 3 different sizes with two rack configurations. Choose from:

  • BCM-61E half size oven with a capacity for 5 or 6 hotel pans

  • BCM-101E half size oven with a capacity for 8 or 10 hotel pans

  • BCM-102E full size oven with a capacity for 8 or 10 full size sheet pans

With Every BCM oven you get:

CombiWash Self Cleaning System - The automatic cleaning system ensures a spotlessly clean oven chamber with no soap residue. CombiWash® uses a minimum amount of water and chemicals, saving you money. You can choose between four cleaning programs based on your needs. Plus, no special cleaners are necessary. The BCM oven is the only manual combi on the oven today with a self cleaning system!

EXCLUSIVE Semi Automatic Deliming - When you initiate the deliming process, it automatically pumps in the correct amount of solution. What could be easier?

Total Fan Control - 9 speed, auto-reversing fan provides uniform baking and roasting results.

Core Probe Cooking - The core temperature probe is located outside the oven chamber for easy handling and reduced strain on the probe.

One Oven - Two Technologies - In Steam Mode, steam is produced using a steam generator. The oven automatically self flushes when the temperature falls below 140°F (60°C). The self flush removes any loose limescale decreasing the frequency of deliming. Combi Mode and Moisture Injection use boilerless technology for an instantaneous reaction - no waiting for steam generation.

25 of these turkey sandwiches can be prepared on just a single full size sheet pan. With 5 pans per load in a full size Blodgett oven, that's 125 sandwiches in just minutes. Or use a 7 pan BCX combi for 175 sandwiches per load. Use a double stack oven for 250 or 350 sandwiches.
