PERFECT PRODUCT EVERYTIME
NEW XCEL Convection Oven
Core Temperature Probe
Let your oven work for you 24 hours
a day with the NEW Blodgett XCEL optional Core Temperature Control.
This new control features both Cook & Hold and Low Temperature Roast & Hold
functions allowing you to roast your product overnight.
Use the
Cook & Hold feature to prepare any product. The
control cooks your product for the desired length of time and
then automatically lowers the temperature to hold the food until
you are ready to serve.
The Low
Temperature Roast & Hold feature with the integral
core temperature probe enables you to roast product at your
convenience and hold it for serving at a later time. This
produces a quality product with a higher yield than traditional
roasting. As an added feature, the Blodgett probe is detachable
for easy cleaning and proper probe positioning.
The Core Temperature control is
available for DFG-100 XCEL and Mark V XCEL convection ovens. |

EARN MONEY WHILE YOU SLEEP |
|
Ask any good chef, "can you cook
a roast in a convection oven and get optimum yield and even,
consistent coloring from the first cut to the last like you
would expect from a Roast & Hold oven", the answer would be
a resounding NO!!!
That has changed with the new
XCEL Oven from Blodgett with Solid State Digital
Controller and Detachable Core Temperature Probe.
|
Just follow these simple steps at the end of a hard days work,
11pm:
-
Season your
roast and insert the Detachable Core Temperature Probe.
-
Place the roast
into the preheated XCEL oven. Preheat to 100°F higher than
your searing step.
-
Set the fan
speed to low.
-
Set the searing
temperature.
-
Set the desired
internal temperature to cook.
-
Press Cook &
Hold and connect the Detachable Core Temperature probe to
the XCEL Oven.... and go home.
|
During the cook process,
Blodgett's engineers have designed a cooking sequence that
will give you fantastic carmelization/crusting of the
exterior while cooking the roast. This gives you even and
consistent coloring from the first slice to the last, all
while yielding
as little as 7% weight loss. When the cook cycle
is completed, whatever time of night it is, the oven will
automatically switch over to the hold program for up to 24
hrs.
This new dimension of convection
oven now means you no longer need to purchase a separate
Cook & Hold oven, or a holding cabinet and a convection
oven, simply purchase the XCEL with Low-Temperature Roasting
capabilities and you can save on the purchase of a Cook &
Hold Oven.....while utilizing your Blodgett XCEL Oven to its
full potential.
This process can be used for all
cuts of Beef, Lamb, Pork, Poultry and more....

Chef Gavin Kaysen |
BLODGETT SPONSORS CULINARY SENSATION
AT 2007 BOCUSE D'OR IN FRANCE
Gavin Kaysen to Represent
U.S. at Premier International Cook-Off
By Brent T. Frei
Former
Editor of Chef Magazine
On Wednesday, January 24, all eyes
in the nation—and, indeed, the world—will be on a 27-year-old
cook from San Diego as he represents all American chefs in one
of the most prestigious cooking competitions in the world.
Rare is the American cook under the
age of 30 who has garnered the respect that only those who have
spent countless years of toil and sweat behind the commercial
stove can claim they’ve earned. Yet Gavin Kaysen is one of them.
Humble and articulate beyond his age, Kaysen’s bearing and skill
in back of the house belie his age and paint him as much older,
much more seasoned.
