Hobart recently introduced a Bluetooth®-enabled barcode scanner and software kit for its combi oven that simplifies operation and ensures consistent cooking results.

The scanners allow users to upload recipes to a single oven or multiple units, which is beneficial for foodservice operations with large operations. Programmed ovens can cook menu items with consistent results any time and every time regardless of an operator’s skill level.

The software guides users through up to 10 phases of a recipe, allowing items to be selected such as cooking mode, temperature, length of time, humidity level and fan speed. Programmed recipes can be linked to an existing barcode on a food package or box, or the software can create a unique barcode for an unlimited number of recipes. These options allow operators to customize their very own cooking experience and yet continue to deliver consistent results in their establishment.

Recipes can be stored in folders for easy access and identification. Operators then simply scan the barcode using the provided hand-held scanner, which automatically loads the recipe settings and starts the oven in preheat mode for that particular product.
