Top 3 Benefits of Structured Air Technology®

Multi-cook ovens provide incredible benefits from the ability to achieve a wider variety of cooking applications to intuitive controls that make food production simple. 

Using exclusive, patented vertical airflow, multi-cook ovens provide greater consistency and speed when it comes to cooking food items at the highest quality. Targeted air distribution uses high-velocity, vertical upward and downward airflow through holes in the jet plates, delivering faster, more even and consistent cooking than other cooking methods.  

Three types of multi-cook ovens utilize Structured Air Technology®, including Origin™ multi-cook convection ovens, Vector® multi-cook ovens and Converge® multi-cook combi ovens. The oven you choose will depend on your menu and facility needs. 

The Origin multi-cook convection oven cooks up to four uniquely timed foods at once while improving speed and consistency. As Alto-Shaam’s latest innovation, the Origin delivers precision evenness and consistency across every pan – even when fully loaded. Dedicated cooking chambers and individual timers deliver a consistent, multi-cook experience, not limited to one food type or timer system. 

Vector was the first multi-cook oven introduced to the market in 2017. Providing up to four independent chambers, you can air fry, bake, grill and more–all at the exact same time. Vector comes in full-size and half-size models, both of which are waterless. Full-size options are great for operations in need of producing a higher volume and variety of food, while half-size is great for achieving greater variety of food through the process of batch cooking. As an added bonus, half-size models are ventless. All that is needed is the proper electrical connection. 

Converge multi-cook combi ovens also make it easy to produce beautifully cooked food, no matter who is cooking. Pairing the versatility of boilerless combi-cooking with the power of Structured Air Technology, each chamber can be perfectly programmed with the ideal temperature, fan speed, humidity level, and cook time control. Essentially, Converge offers up to three independent combis in one. Your food can be steamed, grilled, baked, or air-fried in each chamber at the exact same time, without flavor transfer between items.  

All models utilize Structured Air Technology to produce food at the highest consistency and quality. 

This unique technology allows a greater variety of recipes to be cooked faster than ever before. Vertical air produces even heat transfer, so that food cooks quickly and consistently. 

Vertical airflow means that heat is not lost when the oven door is opened, allowing operators to start multiple dishes at different times without the need to wait for a cook cycle to finish. Individualized settings and high-speed airflow ensure the highest food quality, giving operators time back in their day to focus on other tasks. 

In a single footprint, you can produce a more varied menu without sacrificing food quality. Operators can cook multiple menu items at once in a single oven, even when each item requires a different cook time. This flexibility helps kitchens work more efficiently, expand menu offerings, and maintain consistent food quality across every pan. This provides the ability to reduce the number of appliances needed in a kitchen and allows operators to truly design their kitchens to be more efficient.
