It runs on Alto-Shaam's fanless, waterless Halo Heat: gentle radiant heat from thermal cabling that surrounds the cavity, with no fans, no harsh elements and no added humidity, for even cooking and excellent moisture retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice it's a set-and-forget workhorse. This Simple control version uses a lockable touch-icon panel — you can cook by time or temperature probe, store up to eight recipe menus, and upload or download recipes via USB. The oven automatically switches from cook mode to hold mode once the set parameters are reached, holding food at safe serving temperature for hours without overcooking. Halo Heat activates the natural enzymes in meat as it cooks, tenderising even tougher cuts — one hour is roughly equivalent to one to two days of dry ageing — and delivers 15–20% less protein shrinkage than conventional cooking.\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. With a 40 lb capacity, the 500-TH holds up to 5 full-size pans across two side racks with eleven pan positions, on 3½\" casters with locking brakes — ideal for restaurants, healthcare kitchens, schools and other foodservice operations.
