Advanced Culinary Training features the latest technologies and techniques
In February, the first annual Advanced Culinary Training took place at Alto-Shaam's world headquarters and was attended by chefs from Alto-Shaam rep groups throughout the United States and Canada.
The goal of the training was to create an exchange of culinary ideas among the rep chefs and the corporate chefs, and to demonstrate how Alto-Shaam performs today's most popular cooking techniques, such as sous vide, cook and rest, and braising.
Maahs family establishes scholarship fund
The Maahs family, owners of Alto-Shaam, Inc., of Menomonee Falls, WI, has established a perpetual scholarship fund for the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, NY, one of the most prestigious culinary arts schools in the world. The $1 million perpetual scholarship fund is the largest donation from a single donor ever received by the CIA.
Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle congratulated Alto-Shaam and 14 other recipients of the Governor's New Product Awards in April. The awards were made at the 37th annual Governor's New Product Awards Banquet, sponsored by the Wisconsin Society of Professional Engineers.
Eric Holder, Alto-Shaam's new East Coast Service Manager, is no newcomer to the region or to the kitchen. Based out of Woodbridge, Virginia, Holder has more than 18 years of technical experience in commercial kitchen service. He comes to Alto-Shaam from GCS Services in Washington, D.C. where he was a certified master technician.

What does it take to cook for a king? If you found yourself with such a task, would you prepare the standard fare, or would you challenge yourself? Would you take any meat your supplier gives you, or would you inspect it yourself to ensure it was of top quality? And would you want any kitchen equipment, or would you go with a brand you knew you could trust?
It is 10 p.m. on a Tuesday, and an Alto-Shaam technical service representative just finished up a call with a contact in Singapore, helping him resolve installation and start-up issues with some Combitherm ® ovens on a large equipment installation.
