The company has evolved into a global presence since its inception in 1958 with strict adherence to a growth pattern and meticulous attention to detail. Baxter’s success is built on 3 key features integrated into its ovens: consistent heat, even airflow, and generous steam. The brand has become an internationally recognized leader in baking and cooking technologies. Today, Baxter Ovens is an ITW Food Equipment Group division, the parent company to Hobart and many other premium brands.  

What is Baxter's Product Line?

Baxter’s product line ranges from commercial ovens, proofers, and proofer/retarders to oven racks, water meters, ingredient bins, and other baking accessories.

Baxter Commercial Ovens

Baxter Ovens understands that advanced technology serves a singular purpose: to assist customers in creating an authentic experience for their patrons. Baxter commercial ovens upgrade the overall culinary experience with a rich assortment of food items, from the allure of artisan bread to the enticing scent of freshly baked food on-site. Available in gas and electric models, Baxter revolving ovens and mini convection ovens bake, roast, and rethermalize.

• Baxter rotating ovens have single and double-rack options. Their most distinctive feature is the unique airflow system that draws air up to the heat exchanger and directs heated air across the oven. The robust rack lifts and starts rotating automatically, maintaining uniform heat distribution. This versatile design makes Baxter bakery ovens flexible enough to bake pastries, cookies, breads, proteins, and more.
• Baxter mini rotating rack convection ovens provide the same versatility in a smaller footprint. These Baxter ovens occupy a 48-in (121.92 cm) wide and 38.1-in (96.78 cm) deep footprint. They come in 6, 8, 10, or 12-pan configurations.

Baxter Oven Racks

Baxter Ovens provides roll-in racks in single-side, single-end, and double-side load options. They are constructed from durable 16-gauge stainless steel and mobile on 4-in (10.16 cm) swivel casters. Depending on the spacing between slides, they accommodate 10, 12, 15, or 20 standard hotel pans.

Baxter Proofers

Baxter Ovens uses a patented airflow system with dual 6-in (15.24 cm) fans in its proofers. Multiple independent air ducts and a nozzle make up the humidification system, creating efficient moisture. The digital control panel placed at eye level allows precise management of temperature, humidity, and 4 independent rack timers, ideal for handling multiple products with varying proofing times simultaneously. Baxter proofers are available in 1, 3, and 3-section models.

Baxter Retarders/Proofers

Baxter retarders/proofers have the same patented airflow and humidity system as the proofers. Its digital controls have a programmable 24-hour timer, allowing retarding and proofing cycles up to one week in advance. The 1 and 2-section units come in 5 depths, accommodating 3 to 12 single or 2 to 6 double racks.

Baxter Water Meters

Baxter Ovens uses microcomputer controllers in its water meters to adjust the amount and temperature of water in every dough mix precisely. They easily mount on a standard mixing bowl or sink through a stainless-steel hook on the dispensing hose.

Baxter Ingredient Bins

Baxter stainless steel ingredient bins have 2 to 3 sections for storing flour, sugar, salt, or other dry ingredients used in baking. They hold 120 lb (54.43 kg) of flour or 190 lb (86.18 kg) of granulated sugar. They are 36-in high to fit under a table easily. The 3-in casters facilitate moving even when fully loaded.

What are The Technologies Baxter Uses in Its Products?

The technologies Baxter Ovens uses in baking, cooking, and retherming are the unique heat exchanger, patented precision airflow, Smart Touch™ digital control, and self-contained steam system.

Baking

Baxter rotating ovens have racks that automatically lift and revolve. The rotation action and the consistent heat distribution from top to bottom ensure an even baking and crispy crust.

Cooking

Baxter Ovens provides consistent quality in cooking. The versatile and precise Baxter commercial ovens excel in batch cooking, slow cooking, and broiling, handling everything from bacon and roasts to vegetables and casseroles. The exclusive pulsed steam feature advances heat transfer for juicier results with less shrinkage.

Retherm

Baxter’s improved retherm technology promises dependable performance in reheating applications. Baxter ovens guarantee reliable temperature control to preserve the quality and flavor of cooked items, from soups and stews to pre-prepared meals.

Heat Exchanger System

Baxter Ovens uses a gas-fired heat exchanger system to upgrade the heat transfer uniformity. The U-shaped tubes house a turbulator that tumbles the flame, making it gentler for even heat distribution.
