Competitive Comparison

Size: It takes two of our competitor's smoker steamers for the capacity of a single YieldKing 200. Another competitor takes up almost twice the hood space for very little more capacity

The YieldKing 200 Omni-Chef is 25.5" wide by 33" deep by 64" tall with five 18" x 26" flat food racks and 5" of rack spacing for a capacity of about 200 lbs. per cook cycle.

Probes: Both competitors only offer one internal meat probe. One is hard wired and difficult to clean and the other has an inside the oven socket that fails from grease build up.

YieldKing has two internal temperature probes that plug in outside the oven and are easily removed and dishwasher safe. Our probes can be used as an internal thermometer even if not programmed in the cooking cycle.

Steam: Both of our competitors steam functions require plumbing which leads to limescale buildup issues.

YieldKing has a very simple steam water pan that is filled with a pitcher that is provided. Our steam pan allows you to add beer, wine, spirits or juices to the water for additional layers of flavor. We also feature a low water alarm to alert you if the steam pan is not filled properly.

Smoke: Both of our competitors have added an optional smoker to their convection steamers in the past couple of years when smoking became fashionable.

The YieldKing is based on a smoker and a smoker steamer that have been used successfully by chain restaurants since 1991. We have over thirty years experience smoking meat. Do not limit your smoking to wood, use fresh herbs, citrus and charcoal for unique essences.

Catch Pan: Neither of our competitors have a system designed to capture protein drippings with a drain built in.

YieldKing has always had a specially designed HACCP Safe Drippings Catch Pan with drain to capture the rich drippings from your proteins for you to use in AuJus, sauces and gravies. This YieldKing exclusive feature will improve the natural flavors of your menu and at the same time reduce your costs of prepackaged sauces and gravies.

Power: One of our competitors machines draws up to 60kW, the other up to 18kW.

The YieldKing 200 Omni-Chef draws 7.2kW during normal operation saving on energy costs.

Price: Both of our competitors sell you an oven without the accessories that you need to make it work for you. The price you pay is increased by the additional expense of the options.

Everything that you need to operate the YieldKing YK-200 Omni-Chef comes standard with your oven. When you compare prices, the YieldKing is substantially less expensive because you do not need to pay extra for accessories.
