ASD is proud to announce the successful introduction of Alto-Shaam’s latest commercial kitchen technology at a special in-store event held at the ASD Show Kitchen. Guests received an exclusive first look at two standout products: the Vector Multi-Cook Oven and Alto-Shaam’s renowned Holding Cabinets featuring their signature Halo Heat® technology. This launch marks an important expansion of ASD’s professional equipment offering—bringing innovative, high-efficiency solutions to chefs, hotels, restaurants, and high-volume foodservice operations across Aruba.
A Successful Launch at the ASD Show Kitchen
During the event, ASD showcased an introduction line of the Alto-Shaam Vector Multi-Cook Oven and premium Holding Cabinet units. While Alto-Shaam is widely recognized for its leadership in holding technology, the addition of the Vector line strengthens their position as a full-solution partner for both cooking and holding. Guests experienced firsthand how these products improve speed, consistency, food quality, and workflow in any commercial kitchen. The combination of these technologies creates a seamless “cook-and-hold” system that reduces stress during service peaks and helps operators work smarter.
The Alto-Shaam Difference: Halo Heat® Holding Technology
The Alto-Shaam Difference: Halo Heat® Holding TechnologyFor decades, Alto-Shaam has built a reputation as the industry leader in holding cabinets. Their patented Halo Heat® system is what sets them apart from traditional hot-holding methods.
What Halo Heat® Offers
- Gentle, even radiant heat that surrounds food without overcooking or drying it out
- No heating elements, fans, or added humidity — reducing food shrinkage and preserving quality
- Better retention of moisture, texture, and flavor for extended periods
- Longer food shelf life, helping kitchens reduce waste and optimize prep cycles
- Reliable, consistent holding ideal for banquets, buffets, catering operations, and à-la-carte service
The result is food that tastes as good held as it did when it was freshly cooked — a major advantage for operations that depend on timing, volume, and consistency.
Introducing the Vector® Multi-Cook Oven Line
The star of the event was Alto-Shaam’s Vector Multi-Cook Oven — a game-changing solution designed to maximize output and versatility in a compact footprint.
Why Chefs Love the Vector Oven
Why Chefs Love the Vector Oven- Multiple independent cooking chambers in a single unit (up to four), each with its own temperature, fan speed, and cook time
- Simultaneous cooking of different menu items with no flavor transfer
- Structured Air Technology® delivers even cooking, faster browning, and consistent results across every tray
- Waterless and ventless models, reducing installation costs and offering flexibility in tight kitchen spaces
- Compact footprint options, including countertop models for smaller kitchens
- User-friendly touch controls, recipe storage, and smart monitoring options
The Vector line improves workflow efficiency by allowing kitchens to replace multiple pieces of equipment with one high-performance, multi-zone oven.

Planning a Visit or Demo

The event centered on the IRINOX Blast Chiller Freezer, a powerful unit that functions like a “reverse oven.” While an oven pre-heats, the IRINOX pre-cools, using a precision probe to rapidly and safely lower the temperature of any product, from delicate berries to large cuts of meat.
