Control the cook, control the outcome, that’s what CVap is built for.

No juggling equipment, no guessing, just dial in the exact temperature and moisture level you need and let it do the work.

Step into our booth and see how one piece of equipment can simplify your entire operation. It’s built like a tank, easy to run, and designed to take the pressure off your team while delivering repeatable results. Got questions? We’ve got answers. Want to rethink your process? Let’s make it happen.

NRA 2025

May 16-19 | McCormick Place, Chicago, IL

We’re known for being a little obsessive about food quality and we’re okay with that. The NRA Show gave us the chance to put CVap precision on full display. And honestly, the results speak through every bite of those tortillas and chips.

NRA 2024

May 18-21 | McCormick Place, Chicago, IL

We own up to being a bit particular when it comes to maintaining food quality. The NRA show provided the perfect platform to showcase the exceptional precision of CVap technology. The results speak for themselves – or should we say, the results are in the tortillas and chips?

NRA 2023

May 20-23 | McCormick Place, Chicago, IL

Yes. We are control freaks. That was our message at NRA 2023. We admit to being a little freaky when it comes to controlling food quality. The NRA show gave us a great opportunity to highlight the freakish precision of CVap technology. The proof is in the pudding. Or should we say the proof is in the tortillas and chips?

NRA 2019

The theme of our NRA 2019 booth was “Smart. Sleek. Serious Street Cred.” We wanted to emphasize the enhanced esthetics and functionality of our new CVap product line while reminding folks of the legacy of quality that we’ve built up on CVap products throughout the decades. We also sought to inform visitors in the booth of how staging in CVap ovens is a high-tech, user friendly version of sous vide.

…little did we know that this would be the last NRA show for a while.
