Evolving over time to the world’s only three-phase cooking concept in a double spiral oven, it is still a leader in terms of innovation, performance and reliability. Already for 25 years and counting!

…and roasting, browning, smoking, steaming! The GEA CookStar uses steam, hot air, roasting, smoking and drying in any combination. It’s a unique three-phase cooking solution with two horizontal air-flow zones and a ‘turbo’ impingement zone that uses high velocity, vertically flowing air to roast, brown or dry the product’s surface. The CookStar is founded on three pillars: passion performance and reliability.
