Product Description

Overview

The Southbend ECX-2S-36 convection steamer is a commercial kitchen workhorse designed for restaurateurs who need reliable, fast steam cooking during a high-pressure restaurant opening. This electric, floor-model steamer offers two independently controlled compartments, each holding (3) 12" x 20" x 2-1/2" pans, and a 36" cabinet base that fits neatly into professional kitchen lines. With NSF certified construction, 316 stainless steel interior, 304 stainless exterior, and CSD-1 code package, the ECX-2S-36 is built to meet foodservice code requirements while delivering consistent culinary results.

Key Features

  • Two independent compartments — Cook different items simultaneously with separate 60-minute timers and controls for flexible menu execution.
  • High-capacity pan layout — Each compartment holds (3) 12" x 20" x 2-1/2" pans for large-batch production during rush service.
  • 316 stainless steel interior — Corrosion-resistant cooking chamber for long life in rigorous foodservice environments.
  • Automatic blowdown — Simplifies maintenance by removing mineral buildup, preserving performance and reducing service intervals.
  • CSD-1 code package — Easier compliance with local fire suppression and kitchen ventilation requirements when paired with Concept Services’ installation.
  • Removable pan supports & drip trough — Streamlines cleaning and speeds turnaround between menu cycles.
  • Durable exterior and adjustable legs — 304 stainless exterior and 6" adjustable flanged feet for stable, sanitary installation on uneven floors.
  • NSF and cCSAus certified — Built to recognized safety and sanitation standards for commercial kitchens.
