Multitasking with CVap

CVap controls make multitasking easier

We often brag about the versatility of CVap® equipment. But any kitchen professional will tell you that a piece of equipment that only does one thing really isn’t very useful. CVap ovens are the kings of multitasking. Sure, CVap ovens can bake and roast. But they can also braise, stage, retherm, steam, poach, and even sous vide and confit. CVap ovens can even function as holding cabinets, saving valuable floor space.

 Likewise, eliminating the need to transfer product from an oven to a holding cabinet saves labor. CVap simply excels at multitasking.

Why is Multitasking in a Commercial Kitchen Essential?

Step into a bustling commercial kitchen, and you’ll witness a symphony of culinary creativity, precision, and chaos all rolled into one. In the heart of this storm, multitasking is not just a skill; it’s an essential survival tool. Commercial kitchens thrive on efficiency, and mastering the art of multitasking is the secret ingredient that keeps the wheels turning smoothly. Let’s explore why multitasking is indispensable in a commercial kitchen and how CVap equipment enhances your multitasking ability.

What are the Benefits of Multitasking with CVap Ovens?

Speed is of the Essence

In a commercial kitchen, time is money. Orders flood in, and diners expect their meals promptly. Multitasking allows chefs and kitchen staff to tackle several tasks simultaneously, ensuring that each dish is prepared and plated swiftly. This speed not only keeps customers happy but also boosts the restaurant’s overall productivity and profitability.

CVap Ovens are a critical tool to speed up your kitchen. By staging in CVap, you can reduce ticket times to a fraction of what they would be. Staging involves cooking food to the exact internal temperature desired and then holding it at that temperature until serving time. CVap ovens are unique in their ability to maintain food at the desired temperature, without overcooking or drying out, until it is time to finish.

Resource Management

Commercial kitchens operate on tight budgets, and resources like ingredients, equipment, and personnel must be optimized. Multitasking helps in efficient resource management, reducing wastage, and maximizing the use of available ingredients and kitchen equipment. For instance, while one cook is grilling a steak, another can simultaneously prep vegetables or cook side dishes. Everything can be held in a CVap, keeping the sides and center of the plate hot and fresh so everything can be served together, quickly, and efficiently.

Consistency in Quality

The ultimate goal of any restaurant is to exceed customer expectations. Multitasking in the kitchen plays a pivotal role in achieving this. By ensuring quick service, consistent quality, and the ability to accommodate special requests, multitasking helps restaurants create memorable dining experiences that keep customers coming back for more.

CVap ovens make pleasing your customers easy. Reliable, repeatable results mean your customers can have their favorite dish exactly the way they like it, every time they return.

Upgrade to CVap Ovens in Your Kitchen

CVap ovens have unique capabilities that make them critical tools in any commercial kitchen. CVap makes multitasking easier.

Delayed Start

Get your equipment pre-heated and ready to roll the moment your crew clocks in. CVap equipment can be set to preheat up to 24 hours in advance. When your crew arrives, CVap will be hot and ready.

Slacked or Frozen, CVap Can Handle It

If your operation serves lots of slacked or frozen foods, CVap Retherm Ovens thermalize quickly and safely. They’re ideal for schools, healthcare, hospitality, concessions, ghost kitchens, commissaries, or satellite feeding sites – anywhere that serves a lot of food in a short amount of time.

Multitasking Helps You Save Time

You can literally turn tables three times faster by staging instead of starting from scratch. It’s another example of how multitasking with your CVap equipment helps streamline your kitchen operations.

Overnight Cook

The overnight cook feature is particularly useful for large proteins. It works while you’re not working. Simply load the ovens in the evening. The food will be perfectly cooked and ready to serve in the morning. Because CVap ovens automatically transition to hold mode at the end of a cook cycle, it won’t matter if the cook cycle concludes in the middle of the night. CVap maintains food at just-cooked quality for hours.

Programmed Channels

CVap Series 7 and 5 equipment feature eight pre-programmed channels, covering the most popular settings. Need custom settings for your operation? No problem! All eight channels can be reprogrammed via the control board, an Android device (Series 7), or a desktop app (Series 7 and 5). And the settings can be locked, eliminating the hassle of someone playing with the controls and messing up the day’s menu.

Staging

Staging involves par-cooking food to reduce the serving time. CVap ovens are unrivaled at staging. Food can be cooked to a precise temperature just below doneness, then quickly finished and served. Imagine holding an oven full of steaks or burgers at 135°F. As orders come in, food goes from the oven to the pan or grill to finish. In less than five minutes, your patron has a perfectly cooked, tantalizing meal.
