BUILT LIKE A BLODGETT...

FEATURED FOR YOU

Blodgett Quality Plus Great NEW Features

Blodgett has developed new features for the XCEL series gas and electric convection ovens.

NEW Exclusive EZ Slide Racks*

The NEW EZ Slide Racks from Blodgett glide completely out of the oven cavity for superior accessibility. Built to rugged Blodgett standards for durability and stability, the EZ Slide racks support up to 50 pounds and are built with the same quality chrome wire as our standard full size oven racks. Ball bearing slides eliminate friction and slide out with ease using just one hand. The integrated locking mechanism holds the guide in place when sliding the racks out of the oven cavity. The ergonomic design of the EZ Slide rack is excellent for your back; no more tugging shelves or twisting and turning to load or unload product.

NEW Exclusive Crumb Trays*

The NEW Blodgett Convection Crumb Tray collects crumbs and cooking residues that drip to the bottom of your oven cavity. No more using sheet pans to catch drippings; sheet pans can hamper the air flow and are difficult to clean. The Blodgett Crumb Tray is porcelainized on both sides for easy cleaning and separates into two easy to manage pieces. Simply pull the tray out of the oven and run through the dish washer.

NEW Exclusive Meat Probe**

The Blodgett XCEL convection ovens are available with an optional roasting control that includes an integral meat probe. The Blodgett roasting control insures your proteins are thoroughly cooked, every time. An integral probe, means you do not have to open the door to check product temperature, speeding up the cook time. Plus the Blodgett probe is detachable for easy cleaning and proper probe positioning.

NEW Exclusive Halogen Lighting**

Our NEW bright halogen interior lights provide optimum visibility.

NEW BLODGETT INTEGRAL MEAT PROBE

The NEW Blodgett Roasting Control with Integral Meat Probe ensures your proteins are perfect every time. Follow these directions to use the New Integral Meat Probe while preparing this month's recipe.

1. Insert the probe into the thickest part of the roast. Set the probe control to 100 degrees F. Once the probe detects 100 degrees the timer will go off letting you know it is time to add mirepoix.

2. Once the mirepoix is added, set the timer for 125 degrees F. The control will indicate when the roast is ready to pull from the oven.

THE RIGHT RATE

The Blodgett DFG-100 XCEL gas oven features a dual firing rate switch. This features allows the user to select between either 60,000 BTU or 80,000 BTU operation. The oven will reach and maintain it's setpoint temperature while operating in either low (60,000) or high (80,000). However, if you are either retherming a lot of product or need to open the oven doors frequently, we recommend using the high rate. This will allow the oven to recover temperature more quickly, increasing productivity.
