Hestan Commercial Unveils Groundbreaking Innovation In Premium Commercial Kitchen Appliances
Hestan Introduces First Ever Pass-through Convection Oven at the NAFEM Show, Booth #1200

ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire - Hestan Commercial, creator of the most advanced commercial kitchen and outdoor appliances on the market, unveiled its newest innovations in commercial kitchen appliances at the annual North American Food Equipment Manufacturers (NAFEM) show in Orlando, Florida, February 9-11, 2017. The multi award-winning brand is showcasing its line of premium commercial kitchen appliances, including the first-ever Pass-through Convection Oven and Hestan Sauté Station.

Hestan Commercial's groundbreaking innovations are constructed and engineered with the chef in mind. The patent-pending Pass-through Convection Oven delivers:

  • Specific design for single-depth cooking suites, allowing access from both sides of the oven with dual soft-opening and counterbalanced doors.
  • Heavy-duty, integrated, low-profile, high-efficiency convection fan/motor system offers superior convective heat transfer, heat retention and overall cooking performance.

The Hestan Sauté Station combines the high performance of Hestan's patent-pending CircuFlame™ single-flow brass burners with the practicality and convenience of a rear-mounted cold rail and lower refrigerated drawers. Functionality is combined beautifully in a single unit, accented with the Hestan-exclusive MarquiseTM finish and available in the brand's signature color finishes. Several factory options are available to customize this product for the end user.

"With thoughtful engineering, our Pass-through Convection Oven and Sauté Station were developed to solve the challenges of chefs in the kitchen and transform the commercial kitchen industry," said Chris Moy, vice president of engineering, Hestan Commercial Corporation. "The sheer design of these products brings a new level of efficiency and beauty to commercial kitchens, and the technology is unlike anything the industry has seen before."

All Hestan premium commercial kitchen appliances are purpose-built with heavy-duty counterbalanced doors that stay shut and keep heat in the oven, where it belongs. Exclusive dual-ring burners provide exceptional power and delicate control, while accommodating any size pan. Finally, modular design gives chefs the freedom to build a custom lineup around the way they cook.

Hestan Commercial is headquartered in a state-of-the-art 70,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Anaheim, California – including a showroom, test kitchen and certified testing lab. We continue to collaborate with innovative chefs such as Thomas Keller to create products that not only keep pace with culinary evolution, but stay ahead of it.

Each year The NAFEM Show showcases 500+ manufacturers of commercial restaurant and foodservice equipment and supplies. For additional information on The NAFEM Show, visit www.thenafemshow.org.
