Product Description
The Blodgett CTB-1 is a half-size commercial convection oven designed for kitchens where a full-size unit would be impractical or unnecessary, but where consistent, reliable baking and roasting performance is still essential. It uses forced-air convection to circulate heat evenly throughout the cavity, producing more consistent results across multiple trays than a conventional static oven.
In a working kitchen environment, the CTB-1 holds up well under sustained daily use. Convection cooking shortens cook times compared to static alternatives, which supports throughput during busy service periods. The stainless steel construction is practical for a commercial setting — it withstands routine cleaning and resists the wear that comes with a professional kitchen environment. Blodgett ovens have a long-standing reputation for longevity in the trade, and the CTB-1 reflects that build philosophy.
From an operational standpoint, the CTB-1 offers a number of practical advantages:
- Consistent heat distribution reduces the need to rotate trays mid-cook
- Faster cook times compared to conventional static ovens help maintain service pace
- Compact half-size footprint suits kitchens where space is a constraint
- Stainless steel interior and exterior supports straightforward daily cleaning
- Suitable for a range of applications including pastries, roasted items, and reheating
The CTB-1 runs on three-phase power, so an appropriate supply must be confirmed before installation. At 134kg, it requires adequate structural support if bench-mounting, and positioning should account for door swing and tray access clearance. It is worth confirming ventilation arrangements at the point of installation, particularly in compact kitchen layouts.
This oven is well suited to small to medium-sized operations — cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, or as a secondary oven in a larger establishment. It is a practical choice where half-size capacity meets the demand. For kitchens with higher-volume output requirements, a full-size or multi-deck convection oven may be a more appropriate fit.
If you are weighing up whether the CTB-1 is the right unit for your kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk through your requirements before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the CTB-1 is well suited to smaller operations where half-size capacity is sufficient. It handles a steady daily workload reliably, though kitchens with consistently high baking volumes may find a full-size or multi-deck unit a better long-term fit.
- The CTB-1 requires a three-phase power supply, so you will need to confirm that your premises can support this before installation. We would recommend engaging a qualified electrician to assess your supply and carry out the connection.
- Stacking or bench-mounting is possible, but at 134kg the oven requires a surface or stand rated to support that load safely. You should also ensure adequate clearance for door swing, tray access, and ventilation around the unit — particularly in tighter kitchen layouts.
