Antunes VCT-25 Vertical Contact Stainless Steel Dual Toaster

Serving your hamburger in a bun straight from the package is a great shortcut when you’re pressed for time, but when you want to deliver a message to your customer that you care about the smallest details in the food you are serving you really should toast your bread.

• It adds another level of flavor. This browning is the result of a Maillard reaction, altering the flavor of the bread and adding more flavor. You can also add butter to achieve more flavor and a great browning color to your buns
• It gives you some texture. If all your toppings are soft – like your standard condiments or caramelized onions or guacamole – then toasting gives you a little variety in the texture.
• It helps the bun take on the toppings. Certain toppings and sauce can make your buns soggy. Toasting them helps strengthen the bread so it can really hold its own and prevent the bread from absorbing moisture.

The Vertical Contact Toaster gives buns a consistent, golden brown finish so they don't soak up the juices of the ingredients, helping the sandwich stay firm and delicious. With a dual-sided platen, the Vertical Contact Toaster has more capacity than conventional single-sided toasters, allowing operations to quickly serve fresh products to customers without making them wait.

The VCT-25 model features a dial thermostat for adjusting the quality of the toast for a variety of different bread products. Preset toast times of 25 seconds to give you consistent result every time.
