Product Quality

Shrimp's moisture and nutrients are retained. Thanks to the Low-temperature steam, texture, taste, and shape are superior to other cooking methods. 

Food Safety

Optimal balance of lethality and quality. Reach the lethal temperature range without overcooking the outside surface.

CoolSteam Principles:

Forced Convection and Low-Temperature Steam Cooking. 
  • Low-Temperature Steam Cooking: The CoolSteam method minimizes overcooking by limiting the temperature of the cooking environment (Less than 100˚C). The lower-temp environment (55˚-100˚C) prevents yield loss and flavor on the outside surface.

  • Forced Convection Cooking: CoolSteam uses this principle to provide uniform temperatures and better heat absorption, reducing cold spots and frequent adjustments that harm the product's quality, food safety, and yield.

What Our Clients
Say About Us

I have been very pleased with the purchase of our Laitram CoolSteam® Cooker. Compared to our conventional cooker, the Laitram produced a 2% higher yield, 50% savings in fuel, and overall a more consistent cooking process. It is extremely reliable and cooks the shrimp perfectly every time, giving us peace of mind. Laitram has been an excellent business partner, and we look forward to working with them in the future.

In the year 2003, Vietfoods invested in two Laitram CoolSteam® Cookers, which had yield performance and quality of cooked products, greatly satisfying us. In year 2011, we invested in two more Laitram Cookers.

The Laitram CoolSteam® Cooker provides a more uniform and controllable cooking temperature that assures compliance with existing regulations without compromising cook yield or product quality.
