LCH Series - Low Temp Cook & Hold Ovens
Precision Cooking, Maximum Flavor, and Efficient Holding
1. Low-Temperature Cooking for Superior Results
The LCH Series is designed to slow-cook and hold food at low temperatures, preserving natural juices, tenderness, and flavor while reducing shrinkage. Unlike traditional ovens, which can dry out food, the LCH Series uses gentle, even heat to ensure an ideal cook and a moist, flavorful end product.
2. Dual-Function Cooking and Holding
These units seamlessly transition from cooking to holding mode, automatically switching once the desired cook temperature or time is reached. This feature eliminates the need for constant monitoring, making it ideal for overnight cooking or high-volume banquet preparation.
3. User-Friendly Programmable Controls
The intuitive control panel offers precise temperature adjustments, allowing users to cook by time or with the included internal probe for exact doneness. The system also includes eight programmable recipe presets, ensuring consistent results with every batch. Operators can lock settings to prevent tampering, maintaining accuracy in busy kitchens.
4. Space-Saving, Hood-Free Design
The LCH Series does not require a ventilation hood, reducing installation costs and making it a perfect solution for kitchens with limited space or without direct hood access. This flexibility allows operators to place units where they are most needed, streamlining workflow and efficiency.
5. Versatile Tray and Pan Configurations
Each model features fully adjustable and removable tray slides, accommodating a wide variety of pan sizes, including 18" x 26" sheet pans, 12" x 20" steam pans, GN 2/1, and GN 1/1 containers. This adaptability makes the LCH Series ideal for roasting meats, baking, and holding prepared foods for service.
6. Energy-Efficient, Cost-Effective Operation
By cooking at low temperatures over extended periods, the LCH Series uses significantly less energy than conventional ovens. Many operators can take advantage of off-peak electricity rates, further reducing operational costs while ensuring food is ready when needed.
7. Durable Stainless Steel Construction
Built for demanding kitchen environments, the LCH Series features heliarc-welded stainless steel construction, heavy-duty door latches, and maintenance-free polyurethane casters for easy maneuverability.
The interior includes coved corners and removable drip trays, making cleaning effortless.
The LCH Series provides exceptional low-temperature cooking and holding capabilities, making it an essential tool for banquet kitchens, catering operations, and foodservice venues looking to enhance food quality while optimizing labor and energy efficiency.
