Convotherm EcoCooking Mode saves up to 25% Energy

15th February 2010

Manitowoc will launch Convotherm’s latest energy saving innovation at Hotelympia 2010 (Stands N2340/S2553). The new EcoCooking Mode has been designed to reduce energy usage by up to 25% and will be added as a standard feature to all models from January 2010.

With increased energy prices continuing to burden commercial kitchens, the concept is both simple and brilliant. By taking advantage of Convotherm’s unique Advanced Closed System, which improves the heat retention within the oven, the new feature uses pre-programmed pulses of energy to maintain the required temperature, rather than keeping the power going throughout cooking. Outside of the energy pulses the food uses the residual heat in the chamber to continue cooking  .

This new feature not only saves energy, but actually improves further the quality of many cooked products such as Roast meats, making it them much more tender and reducing weight loss.

In addition to the latest Convotherm feature, Manitowoc will also highlight the latest innovations from well-known brands such as Cleveland, Delfield, Frymaster, Garland, Lincoln, Merrychef and Moorwood Vulcan at the Hotelympia Show in February.
