The CT-1 eliminates the possibility of human error in the cooking process for batch sizes up to 100lbs, maximizes product yields, naturally tenderizes proteins, and reduces the need for additives and preservatives. Foods cooked sous vide retain more moisture, flavor, and nutritional value than those prepared through higher-heat methods.

"The ACF National Convention brings together the culinary professionals who are most attuned to the relationship between technique and result, and that is exactly the audience that understands the value of what the CT-1 delivers,"  said Matt Klein, Vice President of DC Norris North America. "Chefs who attend this convention have built careers on consistency and quality. The CT-1 gives any commercial kitchen the tools to achieve both, every time, at any volume. We look forward to connecting with ACF members and showing them firsthand what sous vide at the commercial scale can do for their operations."
