It uses Alto-Shaam's signature Halo Heat — gentle radiant heat from thermal cabling that surrounds the cavity, with no fans, no harsh elements and no added humidity. The result is even cooking with no hot or cold spots, and food that stays moist rather than drying out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice it's a set-and-forget workhorse. You cook by time, and the oven automatically switches from cook mode to hold mode once the cycle completes, holding food at safe serving temperature for hours without overcooking. Halo Heat also tenderises naturally — one hour in the oven is roughly equivalent to one to two days of dry ageing — and delivers 15–20% less protein shrinkage than conventional cooking, so you serve more portions from the same cut and cut food waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a genuinely waterless, ventless design: no plumbing, drains or filtration, and no hood required in most installations, which frees up extraction capacity and keeps running costs low. The 500-TH\/II holds 3–4 full-size GN 1\/1 pans depending on depth and measures 809 × 483 × 675mm, making it ideal for restaurants, gastropubs, hotels and care kitchens. It can also be stacked with a second 500-series oven or a 500-S holding cabinet as your needs grow. Supplied and installed by Catering Projects Shop with full UK support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalo Heat radiant technology — no fans, no added humidity, even results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic cook-to-hold switching for set-and-forget operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15–20% less protein shrinkage vs conventional cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural tenderisation — 1 hour ≈ 1–2 days of dry ageing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterless, ventless design — no plumbing or hood needed in most sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 3–4 GN 1\/1 pans; dimensions 809 × 483 × 675mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStackable with a second 500-series oven or 500-S holding cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alto-Shaam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57043252347255,"sku":"500-TH-II","price":4510.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/3865\/7855\/files\/CookHold_500-TH-II_Front.png?v=1777099111","url":"https:\/\/cateringprojectsshop.com\/products\/alto-shaam-500-th-ii-cook-and-hold-oven","provider":"Catering Projects Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
