School Equipment Offerings

Your day revolves around this brief period. You need equipment that helps maximize productivity. CVap® ovens cook food fast and automatically hold it after the cook cycle is complete. CVap Holding Cabinets keep food fresh, hot, and safe until you’re ready to serve. With CVap in your kitchen, you’ll serve food at the peak of quality, from the first lunch period to the last.

Only CVap (Controlled Vapor Technology) directly controls food temperature! Precisely controlling vapor temperature in the cabinet means precisely controlling the food temperature. CVap also uses dry heat as the secondary heat source to control food’s exterior texture for crispness and browning. This method of cooking and holding food is much more precise and radically different from our competitors.

CVap ovens automatically switch to hold mode after the cook cycle. Save space by cooking and holding in the same footprint. And save labor – no more babysitting your oven. CVap keeps food hot and fresh.

Get flexibility at a lower price. Spend less of your budget on labor, food, energy, and maintenance.

Is floor space too limited for an oven AND a holding cabinet? You can do both in a CVap oven. Make that footprint double-duty—just another example of the versatility of CVap ovens.

CVap Retherm Ovens are great for commodity food, frozen foods, and chubs, but they can do more. Crispy chicken nuggets, steamed veggies, pizza, tater tots, packaged items, raw proteins, and baked goods are no problem and come out perfectly.

CVap Technology is amazingly effective at maintaining food’s flavor, appeal, and nutrition. Food looks good, tastes good, and is better for growing bodies.

 Free your staff from manually filling the evaporator with this convenient auto-fill feature. It maintains the appropriate water level and minimizes vapor temperature shifts. Automatic Water Fill is standard on CVap ovens and an ideal optional accessory for CVap holding cabinets.

CVap ovens don’t require vent hoods*. Put them wherever you need them. *Local codes may vary. Check with your local authority.
