What the reviews add up to

Synthesized from 4 verified reviews

Versatile cooking and holding capabilities shine, but requires proper training.

The Alto-Shaam CTC6-10E CT Classic Series Oven excels in versatility, functioning effectively for both cooking and hot holding. Reviewers appreciate its reliability and efficiency, especially in settings like hospitals and casual dining where it enhances menu offerings. However, concerns arise regarding its cleaning difficulty and the necessity for staff training to unlock its full potential. Without proper usage, it risks becoming an underutilized asset, leading some to suggest that less expensive options may suffice for basic tasks.

Great piece of equipment, however, your team needs to be trained on how to use it correctly with the cooking programs available Can end up being an expensive "paperweight" If you only use it for basic roasting etc there are cheaper ovens out there

What works

Fast and efficient

What doesn't

Can be an expensive pare weight if not used correctly

Features that mattered

Using the available cooking programs for consistent execution of quality products> Self cleaning cycle is pretty impressive
