There are very few foodservice companies that have built as many top brands as Manitowoc Foodservice. With brands like Frymaster, Lincoln, Merrychef, and Manitowoc Ice, Manitowoc is known for great brands and quality products. In 2011 Manitowoc added Cleveland Range to their list of brands. Since they acquired Cleveland Range little has changed until recently. In 2014 Manitowoc dropped the "Range" from Cleveland Ranges name and now they are simply Cleveland and branded the Cleveland Range Combi ovens and steamers as Convotherm. In 2015 they removed the Cleveland Combi ovens from their product list and birthed the brand Convotherm.
So what's the big deal?
While this new release is not going to turn as many heads as a new Apple release, when Manitowoc Foodservices makes a change like this, the foodservice industry's And with some of these new options, there is a very good reason.
New Controls
The new Convotherm Combi Ovens have updated controls offering "easyTouch" and "easyDial" option. These new controls are designed to make operating your new combi oven much easier and quicker. The "easyTouch"offers a 9 inch touch screen that allows users to customize the user interface. While the "easyDial"allows for the user to set cooking profiles to make operating your Convotherm Combi oven and streamer simple.
USB Port
When I first saw the USB port on the front of this oven, the nerd in me got very excited (and trust me, I am a nerd). This port is located directly on the front of the machine and is a very helpful tool. If you have presets that come from a franchise or a previous setup, all you need to do is load them through the USB port and you are ready to go. Set up becomes a breeze!
Crisp and Tasty
The attraction of fried food is the crispy outside and the moist inside. Convotherms Crisp&Taste feature is a healthy way to cook foods like they are fried, but without the extra fat.
Integral Preheat Bridge
This feature improves the time of preheating, helps with heat loss, and improves safety.
Disappearing Door
When working in a commercial kitchen, it seems like space is always an issue. The disappearing doors on the Convotherm combi ovens helps save space while reducing the risk of burns.
HygienicCare
Everyone in the foodservice industry is very aware of bacteria and has a concern for cross contamination. HygienicCare on Convotherm helps reduces the transfer of bacteria with embedded silver ions in all the area that users routinely touch.
Convotherm is a great new brand with quality that you have come to know and respect from Manitowoc Foodservices.
