BLODGETT QUALITY FOR YOUR KITCHEN

Blodgett Delivers a Wide Variety of Innovative Features for the Hot Side of Your Commercial Kitchen

Since 1848, Blodgett has been recognized for manufacturing premium equipment for the foodservice industry, a reputation earned by building products with exceptional materials and craftsmanship, providing decades of trouble-free service. Blodgett continues this tradition of quality across an increasing array of products with innovative features.

XCEL Series Convection Ovens

XCEL Premium Full Size Convection Ovens feature all of Blodgett’s signature features as well as faster preheat and recovery times (ideal for high-volume ovens), an increased temperature range (150-550 degrees F), switch-selectable firing rates on gas ovens (60,000-80,000 BTUs), zero clearance on the sides and back and fully coved corners. Our latest features include, porcelainized crumb pans, bright halogen lighting, an EZ slide rack that supports up to 50 lbs and slides completely out of the oven cavity, and an optional core probe control.

Blodgett Combi Ovens

Blodgett Combi Ovens contain features that put you in control, such as Steam on Demand, which allows you to inject steam at the touch of a button, and poaching at 170 degrees F with the Vario Steam mode.
Our Combi ovens include a two-speed fan, a nightly auto-flush system to reduce lime buildup, and an EXCLUSIVE deliming indicator light that flashes when it is time to delime the unit. Another EXCLUSIVE option is the semi-automatic deliming system. The deliming process is initiated with the flick of a switch, and the unit automatically pumps in the correct amount of solution. No need to call for service to delime your oven.

Blodgett Range

Solid construction and exceptional materials ensure that Blodgett full line heavy-duty ranges can withstand the rigors of the most demanding restaurant, hotel or institutional kitchen. Features include a welded, heavy-duty grate top with bowl; standard 35,000-BTU open-top burners; a patented clog-free burner design; standard front manifold and rear gas connections; and a seven-inch front rail with a two-inch extended belly bar. Blodgett ranges are available with a variety of bases - choose from a 45,000-BTU convection or standard oven, a storage cabinet, a modular range-top with no base.

Blodgett Steam

Steam is one of the most efficient means of heat transfer available to the foodservice industry, providing an economical solution to any application, large or small. That's why Blodgett offers a complete line of steam equipment including, pressureless convection steamers, steam boiler cabinets, steam kettles and braising pans.
