Low-Temperature Steam Seafood Cooking Equipment
The World is Cooking in our CoolSteam Systems improving their profit per pound.
The CoolSteam® technology dramatically and permanently changed the way the world cooks seafood with our patented low temperature, forced convection cooking.
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.

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.

"I have been very pleased with the purchase of our Laitram CoolSteam® Cooker. Compared to our conventional cooker, the Laitram produced 2% higher yield, 50% savings in fuel, and overall a more consistent cooking process. It is extremely reliable and cooks the shrimp perfect every time, giving us peace of mind. Laitram has been an excellent business partner and we look forward to working with them in the future."
