Explore CiBO+: Can a High-Speed Oven Deliver Speed and Quality?

Gone are the days when ovens were just simple appliances. Today, high-speed ovens are integral solutions for the modern commercial foodservice kitchens, especially in an era where time is a precious resource. Manufacturers around the world have developed high-speed or rapid cook ovens to help serve customers faster and improve the overall dining experience.

Historically, achieving the desired speeds in cooking has involved using high levels of microwave power or impingement to quickly heat food to its core. However, this often compromises the quality of the food. Consider reheating pizza in a microwave. Excessive microwave use tends to overcook the outer edges, making them dry and hard, while the center and base become overly moist and chewy. This uneven heating detracts from the pizza’s quality. So, how can food quality be maintained while cooking food faster?

Impingement cooking, on the other hand, utilizes high-velocity hot air blown from air jets. This method promotes high heat transfer rates and accelerated cooking by directing targeted heat to penetrate the food. However, the results can vary depending on the distance from the food and the strength of the airflow. Concentrated heat in a small area can cause ‘spotting’ and inconsistent coloration.

The Unique CiBO+ Tri-Heat Solution

When Lincat set out to develop their CiBO+ high-speed ovens, they wanted both speed and quality. With its unique patented Tri-Heat technology, CiBO+ continuously switches between Microwave, TurboAir, and the unique ContactBase, to ensure the optimum cook.

• ContactBase: A toughened neo ceram base with adjustable temperature control, and direct cooking capabilities. ContactBase delivers perfect, repeatable base coloration and crispiness.
• TurboAir: Distributes high-speed airflow at 4 meters per second in a cylindrical pattern over the food for fast, even color. This prevents spotting and ensures consistent results.
• Rear Launched Microwave: Rapidly heats the center of dense products for even cooking, avoiding the problem of uneven heating often seen with conventional microwaves.

Operators were quick to appreciate the superior quality cook results delivered by the controllable ContactBase, which, along with TurboAir, creates a dual temperature cavity. This innovative design delivers perfectly cooked hot snacks, pizza, pastries, sweet foods, appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, and breakfast dishes within seconds, all without the dreaded soggy bottoms.
