Alto-Shaam to preview latest innovation for high-quality and high-volume cooking at SNA 2025

 Alto-Shaam will preview its latest solution designed for high-quality, high-volume cooking, the Origin® multi-cook convection oven, at the School Nutrition Association’s (SNA) Annual National Conference.

Origin ovens, which were named among the recipients of the prestigious 2025 Kitchen Innovation Award, can cook full loads of food to perfection without the need to rotate pans. Thanks to patented Structured Air Technology®, Origin ensures every dish is cooked evenly using high-velocity, vertical airflow.

“Our new Origin ovens deliver precise and consistent high-volume cooking results every time without requiring pan rotation, even when fully loaded, making them the ideal solution for K-12 kitchens,” said Jonathan Hipp, Alto-Shaam regional sales manager – South Central. “By eliminating the need for constant oven monitoring, Origin enhances kitchen efficiency by freeing up staff to focus on what they do best.“

Alto-Shaam's latest innovation in the combi oven category, Prodigi™, will also feature on-stand throughout the show.  Prodigi combi ovens are designed to help operators succeed by delivering real savings on labor and space, as well as cutting operating and food costs. Combining multiple cooking functions in a single appliance, including the ability to steam, bake, grill, and air fry at the same time, Prodigi ovens can be utilized to execute any dish with the highest quality precision and consistency every time. 

As part of its support for K-12 schools in the United States, Alto-Shaam is currently running a limited-time promotion offering K-12 customers discounted, extended warranty across all six of its Prodigi oven models, increasing their coverage from the standard one year to a full three years, with estimated savings of up to $650. This added protection helps enhance product performance and extend equipment lifespan. 

“We’re truly dedicated to helping our K-12 partners succeed, serving nutritious meals that students love across all grade levels,” Jonathan continues. “This new promotional offer has been designed to help schools get the most value for their investment.” 

As part of the promotion, customers will also receive complimentary accessory packages to accompany the ovens, such as up to 10 baskets for frying or steaming food items. To find out more about the promo and explore Alto-Shaam's K-12 offering, visit www.alto-shaam.com/k12.
