Programmable ovens and IoT (Internet of Things) devices are changing the way commercial kitchens operate. These smart technologies are allowing kitchen staff to streamline cooking processes, reduce energy consumption, and ensure food quality with precision.
For example, Blodgett's Invoq is a line of advanced combi‑ovens — commercial ovens that combine convection cooking, steam injection, and automated cleaning in a single unit. It's designed for professional kitchens aiming to boost efficiency, reduce energy use, and simplify operation
With Open Kitchen®, Middleby’s loT solution for equipment monitoring, you can access your oven anywhere, anytime. It’s the preferred choice for foodservice operators, because it gives you a convenient, connected kitchen.
What Makes Programmable Ovens and IoT Devices Stand Out
Programmable Ovens: These ovens can be set to specific cooking programs that adjust temperature, humidity, and cooking time for different types of food. This ensures consistency and reduces the need for manual adjustments.
IoT Devices: With IoT devices, kitchen equipment can be connected to the internet, allowing operators to monitor performance and even adjust settings remotely. From ovens to refrigerators, IoT devices help increase operational efficiency and reduce downtime.
How These Technologies Improve Efficiency
Consistency and Precision: With pre-set programs and remote monitoring, kitchens can ensure dishes are prepared to perfection every time.
Energy Efficiency: Programmable ovens and IoT-connected devices adjust their energy usage based on demand, minimizing energy consumption during non-peak times.
Remote Management: Managers can monitor multiple kitchen appliances remotely, enabling quick adjustments to improve performance without being physically present.
Programmable ovens and IoT devices are transforming kitchen operations by providing greater control over cooking processes, ensuring consistent results, and improving energy efficiency. These smart technologies are helping kitchens stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.
