Blodgett Commercial Convection Ovens

Blodgett Commercial Convection Ovens: What You Should Know

Blodgett convection ovens are engineered for unmatched durability, efficiency, and ease of use. Every model is built with a fully welded, extruded angle iron frame, insulated with Superwool® HT for superior heat retention, and equipped with turnbuckle door assemblies for smooth operation. The double porcelainized interior resists rust, ensuring a long service life with minimal maintenance.

Choosing the Right Blodgett Convection Oven

• Electric vs. Gas
• Electric models use heating elements to deliver consistent, dry heat—ideal for crispy foods and broiling.
• Gas models heat up faster and rely on burner ignition for efficient cooking.
• Half-Size vs. Full-Size
• Half-size ovens are compact, designed for lower-volume operations.
• Full-size ovens accommodate larger loads, making them perfect for high-traffic kitchens.
• Single vs. Double Deck
• Single-deck ovens provide sufficient capacity for smaller kitchens and are more economical.
• Double-deck ovens double output for high-volume operations.

Using Blodgett Convection Ovens

While all Blodgett ovens share a common foundation, each series has features tailored to specific needs:

• Blodgett SHO Series – Simple, dependable, and economical. Standard controls include a two-speed fan switch, manual/auto function, thermostat with temperature-ready light, and a 60-minute timer. Electric models feature a circuit breaker switch, while gas models include a “gas shutdown” option.
• Blodgett CBT Series – Designed for precision. Preheat 25–50°F higher than your desired cooking temperature, then reset after loading. Cook times vary by load size, so monitor halfway through for best results. Fans must remain running during operation.
• Blodgett HV (HydroVection™) Series – Offers advanced controls and versatility, including a digital display, humidity settings, cook-and-hold features, and probe cooking. Operators can easily set temperature, humidity, and time for consistent results.

Cleaning Your Blodgett Convection Oven

Always clean when the oven is cool. Gather:

• Screwdriver
• Gloves and safety glasses
• Two rags
• Glass cleaner
• Stainless steel cleaner
• Oven cleaner

Steps:

1. Remove racks and supports (some may require unscrewing).
2. Soak racks/supports in a water–ammonia solution.
3. Wipe the stainless-steel exterior with cleaner, then buff dry.
4. Spray oven cleaner inside the cavity (avoid blower wheel), let sit 10–20 minutes.
5. Wipe interior with a damp rag.
6. Reinstall racks and supports.
7. Clean the air intake or cooling fan with a damp cloth to remove debris.
