Baxter Introduces Updates to Single and Double Rotating Rack Ovens

Baxter’s rotating rack ovens are ideal for baking, roasting or reheating a variety of food. Recent updates, made without sacrificing performance, include a curved door and hood to enhance the aesthetics and provide the perfect backdrop to theater baking. It also includes a new dual-point latch and unique handle design that allows for easier operation and excellent steam and heat retention.

The ovens are designed to be versatile and flexible enough to generate a wide range of foods. They provide a unique airflow system, digital controls that make it easy to program and are built to reduce the amount of energy used during cooking and baking. Additionally, the hood of Baxter’s rotating rack ovens are UL710 Listed, simplifying approval and inspection processes.

Unique Airflow System

The unique airflow system of the ovens ensures heat is evenly dispersed from the top to the bottom of the oven, making certain all food is cooked thoroughly and evenly. A ceiling-mounted fan continuously pulls air up the length of the heat exchanger and forces heated air across the unit and down the other side of the oven. The airflow combines with Baxter’s self-contained spherical cast steam system to provide even heat and moisture dispersion, in turn yielding a perfectly even bake.

Easy Operation

The rotating rack ovens have a heavy-duty lifting and rotating device that is built to handle heavy loads. To make loading and unloading easier, the rack carrier automatically stops in the load/unload position when the door is opened, and the rack lift rotates automatically when the door is closed and the start button is pressed. Additionally, the ovens have programmable digital controls that are able to hold up to 99 recipes, to ensure consistent results each time. The control also offers the flexibility to use up to four bake stages in each recipe. Other useful features include a cool down mode and temperature set back and idle mode. To assist in opening and closing of the door, the ovens have a unique dual-point latch mechanism that can easily be closed by simply pushing the door, eliminating the need to turn the handle. The dual-point latch also keeps the air flow tightly enclosed, sealing the seam of the cavity. Adding extra convenience, the door is reversible, allowing the customer to decide which way the door should open, depending on the layout of the kitchen.

“The Baxter single and double rotating rack ovens provide a simple solution to address many baking needs,” said Damon Childers, vice president and general manager of Baxter. “In addition to their many features, the ovens also offer a generous viewing area, allowing the food to be on display for customers who are increasingly interested in observing the food as it is being prepared.”

Efficient

Baxter’s single and double rotating rack ovens are built to reduce the amount of energy used in cooking and baking. Each oven is installed with an energy-saving idle mode, which starts only after the factory designated time of 90 minutes and reduces the oven to a holding temperature of (275 degrees Fahrenheit) 135 degrees Celsius. The length of time and holding temperature can be reprogrammed at the time of installation. Moreover, the oven’s steam system acts as a heat reservoir to prevent heat loss when doors are opened and to ensure faster heat recovery. Finally, the triple pane door with air gap and Low E glass used for viewing also improves heat retention, resulting in lower energy costs and a reduced amount of heat emitted into a bakery.
