Alto-Shaam 500-TH/II Cook & Hold Oven
The Alto-Shaam 500-TH/II Cook & Hold Oven delivers exceptional cooking consistency, moisture retention, and labor-saving performance in a compact footprint ideal for commercial kitchens. Powered by exclusive Halo Heat® technology, this commercial cook and hold oven surrounds food with gentle, radiant heat using unique thermal cabling rather than fans, harsh heating elements, or added humidity. The sealed, static cooking environment preserves natural juices and flavors while minimizing protein shrinkage by 15-20% compared to conventional ovens, resulting in higher yields, improved food quality, and reduced food waste. Perfect for roasting, braising, baking, proofing, reheating, fermenting, sous-vide cooking, and holding, the 500-TH/II helps operators expand menu offerings while maintaining consistent results. Its compact, space-saving design can be stacked with an identical unit, a 500-TH/III, or a 500-S Holding Cabinet for increased production flexibility.
Designed for efficiency and ease of use, the Alto-Shaam 500-TH/II features intuitive push-button controls that automatically convert from cook mode to hold mode once programmed parameters are reached. The waterless design eliminates the need for plumbing, drains, filtration systems, and related maintenance, reducing installation costs and simplifying cleanup. Because Halo Heat technology requires no oven hood or external venting, operators can save significantly on ventilation expenses while placing the oven where it is needed most. Overnight "lights-out" production helps reclaim 12 to 16 hours of nonproductive cooking time, lowering labor costs and improving kitchen workflow. With energy-efficient operation costing less than $2 per day, the Alto-Shaam 500-TH/II Cook & Hold Oven is a versatile, cost-effective solution for high-quality food preparation and holding.
