Blodgett (Middleby)  Blodgett Combi Combi Ovens - INVOQ 62BG/62BG

Blodgett INVOQ 62BG/62BG gas combi oven stack: hybrid steam, touchscreen SmartChef, 1,500 recipes, HACCP, heavy-duty stainless construction.

What our Experts Think    

• High-efficiency double combi production system
  The Blodgett INVOQ 62BG/62BG is a stacked dual hybrid combi oven setup, designed for maximum throughput in high-volume kitchens while maintaining a compact footprint.
• True dual-oven flexibility (independent cooking zones)
  Experts highlight its ability to run two fully independent 62-series ovens, enabling simultaneous roasting, steaming, baking, and combi cooking without flavor transfer or workflow interruption.
• Hybrid steam power for intensive production
  The system combines boiler-based steam + injection steam, delivering fast, dense steam saturation for demanding applications like bulk roasting, vegetables, and regeneration.
• Built for large-scale foodservice operations
  Designed for institutional kitchens and hotels, it supports high pan capacity per chamber, making it ideal for continuous batch production and multi-service operations.
• Advanced automation for consistent results
  SmartChef programs, MenuPlanner, and CombiSense controls help standardize cooking across teams, ensuring repeatable quality with minimal operator skill dependency.
• Strong focus on yield, speed, and efficiency
  Delta-T cooking, probe control, and automated climate management improve food consistency, reduce shrinkage, and optimize production timing in busy kitchens.
• Energy & workflow optimization in stacked format
  The vertical design allows operators to double capacity without expanding floor space, improving kitchen productivity per square meter.
• Commercial-grade durability & hygiene systems
  Stainless steel construction, triple-pane doors, and automated cleaning (CareCycle system) support long-term reliability and reduced manual maintenance effort.
• Connected kitchen readiness
  USB, HACCP logging, and recipe storage functions support standardization across multi-site operations and modern kitchen compliance needs.

               
Q&A      

Q: What is the Blodgett INVOQ 62BG used for?
A: It is a gas-powered, high-capacity hybrid combi oven (boiler-based) designed for steaming, roasting, baking, and multi-product cooking in large commercial kitchens.

Q: What makes the INVOQ 62BG different from boilerless models?
A: It uses a HybridSteam system combining an integrated boiler + injection steam, delivering faster, denser, and more consistent steam production for heavy-duty cooking needs.

Q: What is its cooking capacity?
A: It can hold up to 12 full-size 18" × 26" sheet pans or 24 hotel pans, especially in stacked configurations.

Q: Is it a single unit or stackable system?
A: The 62BG is commonly used as part of a stacked oven system (62BG over 62BG), doubling output without increasing floor space.

Q: What smart cooking features does it include?
A: It features touchscreen controls, SmartChef automation, 1,500-recipe memory, CombiSpeed/CombiSense modes, and multi-step cooking programs.

Q: Does it require special utilities?
A: Yes. It requires gas connection, water supply, and drainage for steam generation and automated cleaning systems.

Q: What cleaning system does it use?
A: It includes CareCycle tablet-based automatic cleaning, reducing labor and maintaining hygiene standards.

Q: What are the main benefits for commercial kitchens?
A: It delivers high-volume production, precise humidity control, faster cook times, and consistent multi-product cooking performance with reduced manual labor.

             
Maintenance Tips        

• Clean cooking chambers daily using approved combi-oven cleaner to remove grease and protect HybridSteam performance (boiler + injection system).
• Run the CareCycle automatic cleaning system regularly to maintain hygiene and reduce manual buildup.
• Wipe door gaskets and sealing surfaces after each shift to ensure airtight operation and consistent cooking results.
• Inspect both fans and air distribution paths (upper & lower ovens) to maintain even heat and steam circulation in stacked configuration.
• Descale steam system periodically to prevent mineral buildup in boiler and injection components and maintain steam quality.
• Check core probes and sensors frequently for accurate multi-chamber temperature control and HACCP compliance.
• Clean or replace air intake filters to maintain airflow efficiency and prevent overheating.
• Keep drain lines and drip trays clear to avoid blockages, odors, and moisture accumulation in both units.
• Avoid chlorine, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners that can damage stainless steel and electronics.
• Schedule preventive servicing to ensure long-term reliability, energy efficiency, and consistent dual-oven performance.
