The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer
The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer offers a completely
new method of cooking. With the Oven/Steamer you have
the choice of two cooking processes: Steam and Hot Air,
either...
• Separately
• Combined, or
• In Sequence
And for easy operation you can choose from three modes:
There are four additional specialized modes to help you
make the most of your time:
Retherm - for perfect reheating
Proong - Proof and bake all in the same oven
Preheat - in this mode the oven will preheat to 575ºF
(300ºC) for 15 minutes. The oven will then automatically
lower to 480ºF (249ºC) to protect the advanced electronic components.
Cool Down - allows the oven cavity to cool down rapidly
with the door opened
You can also use two or three functions in se-
quence during one cooking process. We call this:
• combi-steaming
• combi-roasting
• combi-baking
The combination of circulating hot air and steam in the
space saving, high performance Combi-Oven/Steamer
leads to improvements in the following areas:
• increased productivity in the kitchen
• a reduction in capital expenditures for multiple equip-
ment replacement
• a wider range of menu choices
• a simplied cleaning process
The work process is simplied since products are pre-
pared on or in steam table pans and trays. Food can be
cooked, stored, and transported with the same pans.
Small amounts of product can be processed efciently;
pre-cooked and convenience foods can be reheated within minutes. Many frozen foods can be processed with-
out pre-thawing. This exibility in preparation reduces the
need for kettles and steam tables since there is no need
for large amounts of food to be kept warm for long periods
of time.
Today the improvement of food quality is more important
than ever. Vegetables are cooked in the Blodgett CombiOven/Steamer without water at the optimal temperature
of just under 212ºF (100ºC), maintaining valuable vitamins, minerals, nutrients and trace elements. Cooking
meat in the Combi results in less shrinkage and a rmer,
juicier product. The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer is being used more and more for baking. Steam and Hot Air
modes make it a general purpose baking appliance.

Description of the Combi-Oven/Steamer
ABOUT THE OVEN/STEAMER
Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamers are quality produced using high-grade stainless steel with rst class workman-
ship.
The multiple speed fan, which is guarded against acci-
dental nger contact, is driven by a quiet and powerful
motor. The condenser draws out excess steam from the
appliance. Condensation and waste water, which result
during steaming and cleaning, are continuously drained.
The use of high quality insulation impedes excessive heat
radiation and saves energy.
The BCM/BLCM makes it possible to enjoy all of the ad-
vantages of a high quality steamer at the ick of a switch.
Fresh steam enters the oven cavity without pressure and
is circulated at high speed. This process enables quick
and gentle cooking and ensures high quality food while
providing convenient working methods. The steam generator is completely automatic and protected from running
dry.
OVEN/STEAMER OPERATION
The practical oven door, with a viewing window, has a
wide swing radius and handle which can be operated easily, even with wet or greasy hands.
Ease of operation is guaranteed through the simple to
use control. With graphical symbols and storage for 50
product recipes the BCM/BLCM is easy for even inexperienced kitchen staff to operate.
Cleaning is kept to a minimum thanks to the automatic
Combi Wash system.
