My friends and former employers needed a new gas convection oven to replace their old single deck Hobart which had failing controls and ignition. I did some looking around and found this AMAZING TOL double Blodgett. Over $18000 new I found this unit out of an elementary school that had VERY LOW mileage at a used equipment house in Nordeast Minneapolis/ST. Anthony village. They sold it to me for $3500. This oven will cook 5 sheet trays of thick cut bacon on low fire/fan in 25% less time than the old one did at full power. A 40# batch of pulled chicken is done in the Blodgett in 4 hours on low heat/fan VS high fan/full heat in the old Hobart. Keep in mind this is a double oven so in reality oven capacity has been much more than doubled. I always wanted to play with one of these super premium ovens. I might "help out" on some of my days off just to test it's capability. Enjoy the eye candy guys.

I replaced a blower motor on one of those about a year or two ago. Pretty serious piece of equipment |

That (or something very similar) was in the kitchen of a cooking program I worked in last year. The chef loved it! |

We had this unit in a kitchen at a hotel I managed. They turned out some serious quantities of banquet food. I remember the executive chef saying this oven was an absolute necessity in his kitchen. |

Yes this is a VERY serious piece of equipment. It is the oven equivalent to a Hobart dishmachine. I am not surprised the chef loved his Blodgett ovens, IMPO they are the best. I am not surprised that these units are used for large scale banquets. They are the most productive convection ovens IMPO.

ever seen a Roscan commercial oven? Convection, steam, and even steam cleans itself. |
