The Laitram Machinery CoolSteam® Technology uses a forced convection method. In this process, a low-temperature mixture of air and steam is constantly circulated inside the chamber, distributing heat efficiently and uniformly. Product is cooked, blanched or pasteurized consistently using less steam than traditional methods, and maintaining high-quality products.

1%-7% compared to any other method of cooking on the market.

Decrease energy costs by 25% - 85%. 

Consistent, uniform and predictable cooked product. 

Meets rigorous food safety and sanitary design principles.

Products cooked using the CoolSteam® Technology maintain a lower internal temperature, so the outside of the product does not become overcooked. As a result, more of the product’s natural moisture is retained and texture, taste, and appearance are superior.

Decades of research and development and in-plant seafood processing experience validates this time-tested, proven technology.
