If you are in the market for new restaurant cooking equipment, whether it be a commercial range, griddle, broiler, or convection, you will quickly realize that there are MANY choices out there.   And while big names like Vulcan or Lang are known for their quality, they are also among the most expensive brands in the industry.

Southbend Manufacturing has been making some of the best restaurant equipment in the industry since 1898.   You read that right.  since the 1800’s.  So it shouldn’t come as a surprise when I tell you that they have their act together.  Southbend has been ahead of the trends ever since they started selling commercial equipment, and a huge reason is because they listen to their customers.   They hear the requests for innovation, improving on old ways of building equipment, making their brand more efficient, more affordable, and outperforming the competition on quality.  Check out this short video on their convection ovens:

Let’s talk convection ovens for a moment.  The true measure of a good convection oven is how evenly the oven cooks at a set temperature.   Southbend ovens feature a soft heat mixing zone technology that allows hot air to be mixed with cooler air to produce tempered air.  This ensures even baking and cooling!  A few other features that set their ovens apart:
