Catering food has a rough life, but it's a labor of love.

It gets cooked early. Transported. Moved around. Held. Served in waves. And somehow, it is still expected to taste amazing. No pressure, right?

That's why a food warmer should do more than just blast food with heat and hope for the best.

Winston CVap® gives caterers more control over temperature and moisture, helping food stay closer to the way it was meant to be served.

Keep the food quality where it belongs.

For many years, chefs have had to alter their methods in order to suit commercial ovens.

Rotate the pans.

Add a water pan.

Tent it with foil.

Turn the temperature down.

Open the door.

Close the vent.

Hope for the best.

We now regard these workarounds as just one of the normal aspects of cooking.

What if it isn't necessary then?

CVap was designed not only to improve ovens but also to provide food with the conditions it actually needs; it has separate controls for v***r and air temperature so that moisture and heat can be treated as separate elements rather than working against one another.

That's another way of thinking about cooking.

You spend less time compensating for the oven's limitations.

You allow the equipment to carry out more of the work.

Perhaps the future of cooking lies not in acquiring more tricks.

It could be that the situation is aimed at reducing the number of problems chefs have to deal with.

Control the cook.

Discover how CVap cook and hold ovens enhance food quality for restaurants, schools, and catering with controlled v***r technology.

Sous Vide Was Never the Destination. It Was the Workaround.

Sous vide changed the way chefs think about cooking by proving one thing: low, controlled heat produces incredible food.

But somewhere along the way, we accepted that great results came with vacuum bags, water baths, and extra steps. They don't.

CVap delivers the same gentle, precision-cooking environment using controlled v***r, without sealing every steak, chicken breast, or pork chop in plastic wrap. Better yet, you're not limited to cooking a handful of portions at a time. Load the cabinet with dozens of proteins and cook them all evenly, making CVap ideal for high-volume restaurants, catering operations, healthcare, and school nutrition programs.

When the cook is finished, you're ready to serve. No unpacking. No water baths to drain. No bottleneck before service.

The goal was never to cook in a bag. The goal was always perfectly cooked food at any volume. Control the cook. Not the workaround.

Winston Day 2026!
Sometimes the best team building is stepping away from the work and just having some fun together.

This year, the Winston team took over Main Event for a day packed with games, laser tag, bowling, amazing food, and plenty of laughs.

It was a great chance to relax, recharge, and spend time with the people who make Winston what it is.

Rice looks simple, but it's not. Keeping it consistent in a commercial kitchen can be a challenge.

Different varieties need different water ratios and cook times. Then comes the bigger challenge: keeping rice hot, moist, and ready for service without adding unnecessary steps.

CVap® gives operators another way to cook and hold rice with control over both heat and moisture.

We put together a practical guide covering rice varieties, CVap settings, cooking times, and hot-holding strategies.

Read the full blog to see how CVap can change the way you cook and hold rice.

Cooking and Holding Rice in CVap is an easy way to cook bulk rice, hold it for hours, and keep it consistent no matter what day it is. Ask us how!

Let's get one thing straight: pressure frying is still the gold standard for high-volume fried chicken.

Whether you're using a Winston or a competitor, the core advantages of pressure frying speak for themselves:

• Faster cook times
• Juicy, tender chicken with a crisp, golden crust
• Less oil absorption
• Consistent flavor and texture, batch after batch
• A safer, cleaner kitchen environment

Pressure frying delivers the speed, quality, and consistency busy kitchens need. But here's where things get interesting: not all pressure fryers are built the same.

The details matter. See what sets the Winston Pressure Fryer apart and why it's built for the demands of high-volume kitchens.

Our friends at Shiraz Mediterranean Grill, Shelbyville Road, Louisville, KY, are showing off their Winston CVap Holding Drawers.

This local chain serves up some of the most delicious and authentic Mediterranean cuisine in town.

In one CVap, they stage their chicken kababs before grilling them on an oak wood-fired grill. In the other CVap, they hold their amazing basmati rice, which we got to sample all three kinds.

Unlike competitor models that demand full clean-outs mid-rush, Winston Collectramatic Pressure Fryers require no filtration during peak service. Just brush the elements, scrape the crumb line (allowing debris to fall into the oil), and that's it. Seriously, that's it. At the end of the shift, a light pot cleaning and standard oil filtration are all that's needed.

How does this affect customer wait time during peak service? With fewer interruptions and larger batch sizes, Winston Fryers enables faster order fulfillment and shorter customer wait times during high-traffic periods such as lunch.
