The Vulcan VCH Series Double Oven Cook & Hold Oven is built to meet the demands of high-volume commercial kitchens by combining powerful cooking capabilities with efficient, low-temperature holding—all in a durable, easy-to-use design. Whether you're roasting, holding, or rethermalizing, this unit ensures consistent results while reducing labor and energy use.
With a generous capacity, this double-oven model can accommodate up to sixteen full-size 18" x 26" sheet pans on 3" centers or thirty-two 12" x 20" x 2.5" steam table pans, making it ideal for institutions, catering operations, and production kitchens. The ovens include ten pairs of removable universal tray slides (adjustable on 1.5" centers) and four wire pan cooking grids for added flexibility.
Solid state controls allow you to cook at temperatures up to 400°F and hold at temperatures up to 200°F. The unit can also be used to safely rethermalize pre-cooked items. Simple push-button controls let operators set cook time, cook temperature, and hold temperature. A digital LED display clearly shows the elapsed time, current cooking temperature, holding temperature, and internal cabinet temperature. For added convenience, the controls support up to three custom programmable cooking cycles.
The oven's fan system promotes even heat distribution and natural browning, while also helping to reduce dehydration of meat products—ideal for preparing tender, flavourful dishes. Once cooking is complete, the oven automatically transitions to hold mode, keeping food at a safe and consistent serving temperature.
Constructed with a 20-gauge stainless steel interior and exterior, the VCH ovens are built to withstand daily commercial use. Full insulation (2" on top and 1" on sides and bottom) ensures maximum energy efficiency. The magnetic action door latches, heavy-duty hinges, and integrated steel frames add long-lasting durability. The removable control and power module simplifies maintenance and service.
For mobility and versatility in the kitchen, the oven is equipped with 5" heavy-duty casters—two swivel with brakes and two rigid—for smooth transport and secure placement. The unit is complete with cord and plug, and in most areas, it does not require a ventilation hood.
UL listed, NSF certified, and UL listed to Canadian standards, the Vulcan VCH Series Double Section Cook & Hold Oven meets the highest safety and sanitation standards. It is backed by a 10-year limited warranty on heating elements, providing peace of mind and long-term value for demanding foodservice environments.
