Cook & Hold

Independently process time tested by Campden Laboratories ? if you are looking at an alternative to Alto-Shaam (although we can?t think why you would!) Then be sure to check out their safe cooking credentials.

Originally invented by Alto-Shaam founder Jerry Maahs in the late 1950s, the daring concept of Alto-Shaam Cook and Hold Ovens introduced the revolutionary low temperature cooking method known as Halo Heat® - to the foodservice industry and has remained the benchmark for cook and hold ovens ever since.

Often called "The Sham", Alto-Shaam Cook and Hold ovens utilize exclusive Halo Heat® technology, which surrounds the oven cavity with soft, gentle, halo of heat.

This heating environment traps meat's natural moisture, significantly reducing meat shrinkage plus the enzyme action generated accelerates the "aging" process, and so providing tender meat even from freshly killed animals.

The simplified cooking technology created easily portable 13amp cook & hold ovens which use very little electricity (less than £1 per 24 hours per cavity), and no hood ventilation is required thus making overall operating costs very low.

Alto Shaam Halo Heat Cook & Hold Ovens are the foundation of the UK?s Carvery Operations and Sunday Roast offerings.

Make maximum use (and profits) - team up with the AltoShaam Hot food Carving Shelf with it's heated base which is suitable for placement on any surface or on top of some of our Halo Heat cook and hold ovens or holding cabinets and offer Specialty Hot Roast Meat Sandwich offerings at other times.

The Carving Shelf in most demand is the 100-HSL/BCS-2 which provides a large carving area and includes 2 adjustable heat lamps to hold up to a 60 pound (27 kg) roast.
