Why this cook & hold oven earns its place
The Alto-Shaam Simple Control 18kg Cook & Hold Oven 500-TH/SX is built for smaller spaces, with a stainless steel cabinet that measures 929 x 546 x 1003 mm and weighs 126 kg. It runs from a 230V plug connection and takes 1/1 GN full pans, so it slots into a professional kitchen setup without needing a specialised power arrangement.
Like the larger unit in the range, it uses fanless, waterless Halo Heat technology to deliver greater yields and high food quality while helping lower foodservice operating costs. That makes it well suited to kitchens that want dependable low-temperature cooking and holding in a smaller footprint.
Control is deliberately simple. The oven uses an icon-based touch control with a single knob for temperatures, cook times and hold times, and it can cook by time or by a single temperature probe. You can also store up to eight programmable recipes, which is useful when you want repeatable results across service.
