🍔 Happy National Burger Day

Behind every great burger rush is equipment that helps kitchens move faster, cook more consistently, and keep quality on track.

For high-volume burger programs, clamshell cooking brings heat from the top and bottom, helping reduce flipping, improve consistency, and support faster ticket times.

• Southbend Steam Shell brings a different take on clamshell cooking with high-heat searing and moisture-locking technology designed to help improve speed and yield. Its gasket system helps trap moisture while product sears on the griddle.

• Lang Contact Clamshell brings two-sided cooking to the flat-top, helping kitchens move through burgers, chicken, and other uniform proteins with less flipping, faster production, and more consistent results.

Whether it’s a lunch rush, game-day crowd, or everyday burger build, the right clamshell solution can help keep the line moving.

We had a great morning in Albany with Chef Danny with live equipment demos featuring the Firex Cucimix, Blodgett INVOQ, and Blodgett ImVection.

Attendees got a closer look at how these pieces support real kitchen needs, from high-volume cooking and batch production to combi cooking, convection, and impingement technology.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked questions, and spent the morning with The Hansen Group team.

A great day of live combi training at the Market Center of the Ozarks.

Chef Danny was on site demoing the Blodgett INVOQ and walking attendees through how combi cooking can support consistency, versatility, and efficiency in a commercial kitchen. From hands-on learning to real menu applications, this event gave operators a closer look at what the INVOQ can do in action.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a day of learning, great food, and live equipment demonstrations.

NRA 2026 was a great reminder of what makes this industry so strong: innovation, relationships, and the people behind it all.

Our team enjoyed a great few days in Chicago connecting with manufacturers, partners, and industry friends, while seeing the latest products and solutions shaping what’s next in foodservice.

We were also grateful for the opportunity to attend the FE&S Awards Gala hosted by the Zoomba Group and celebrate leaders and organizations making a meaningful impact in our industry.
Thank you to everyone who made this year’s show such a great experience. We’re leaving inspired and excited for what’s ahead.

Chef Brandyn put three pieces of equipment into action: Globe sous vide, Globe slicing, and the Blodgett INVOQ.

The Globe GSV18 Sous Vide gives kitchens precise temperature control with ±0.1°F accuracy, helping deliver consistent results across proteins, vegetables, eggs, desserts, and more. Its 1800W heating element, high-flow water circulation, touchscreen controls, and Wi-Fi app support repeatable cooking in a commercial kitchen.

Globe slicers bring consistency to prep with clean, uniform slicing for proteins, cheeses, vegetables, and other menu items. That means better portion control, better presentation, and a smoother prep process.

The Blodgett INVOQ adds combi versatility for roasting, steaming, baking, finishing, and more. It brings convection and steam together in one platform, helping kitchens handle more menu applications with one oven.

Need one piece or the full setup? The Hansen Group can help you find the right fit for your kitchen.
