The Blodgett BLCT-10E-H is a versatile boilerless combi steamer that combines the functionalities of steaming and baking with convection heat. This powerful equipment shortens cooking times, increases yield, and seals in the original qualities of the meals, resulting in healthy dishes. Unlike other units, it does not require a fire suppression system or filter. Instead, it features an integrated Hoodini hood that efficiently removes smoke, fumes, and steam heat from the kitchen, ensuring a comfortable and clean workplace. With its capacity to fit six to ten full-size 12 by 20-inch hotel pans, this unit is perfect for high-volume cooking.
One of the major advantages of the Blodgett BLCT-10E-H is its boilerless design, which leads to significant savings on water expenses. It eliminates the need for a water tank to generate steam by directly introducing water into the heating elements. Additionally, the unit is built to last with its durable construction, including 430 stainless steel on the top, back, and sides, and 304 stainless steel on the bottom, door, and interior. This ensures longevity and easy maintenance, providing excellent value for money.
Operating the Blodgett BLCT-10E-H is simple with its touchscreen panel. In addition to steam and convection heat, the unit offers various cooking modes such as proofing, preheating, low-temp steaming, forced steaming, and the special CombiSmart cooking mode preset by Blodgett. It also allows for manual and automatic cooling, automatic humidity pulsing, and can store up to 500 recipes with 15 steps each. This feature reduces time and labor while ensuring consistent quality in the dishes. The unit can even document HACCP data, which can be transferred via the USB port.
The Blodgett BLCT-10E-H features a two-piece rack system that can be individually timed to suit each recipe, providing flexibility in cooking. Its halogen-lit interior offers superior visibility, making it suitable for front-of-house use. The dual-pane tempered glass window not only serves as a viewing area but also helps with insulation. It is hinged for easy cleaning and is heat-reflecting for better efficiency.
To ensure even cooking from every rack position, the unit is equipped with a reversible nine-speed fan that distributes steam and heat uniformly across the cooking chamber. An internal core temperature probe monitors the food's temperature from multiple points, ensuring proper cooking.
