Combination Ovens

Combination Ovens

Commercial combination ovens, also known as combi ovens, combine convection, steam and combination cooking in one versatile piece of professional catering equipment. A commercial combi oven gives kitchens greater flexibility for cooking, reheating and food preparation, making it a valuable addition to restaurants, hotels, cafés, pubs, canteens and other professional catering environments.

If you need help choosing the right model, our Commercial Combi Oven Buying Guide provides further advice on selecting a suitable combi oven for your kitchen.

How Combi Ovens Work

A combination oven provides three main cooking methods: convection, steam and combination cooking. Convection cooking circulates dry heat around the oven chamber and is suitable for products such as bread, pastries and roasted foods. Steam cooking introduces steam for tasks such as steaming vegetables, rice and fish, while combination cooking uses both heat and steam to provide greater control over the cooking environment.

Using different cooking methods in one appliance gives professional kitchens greater flexibility and can help simplify cooking, reheating and food preparation across a wide range of dishes.

Choosing a Commercial Combi Oven

When choosing a commercial combination oven, consider the capacity, GN configuration, available kitchen space and expected workload. Our range includes different capacities and configurations, including models suitable for 1/1 GN, 2/1 GN, 2/3 GN and other GN formats, allowing you to select an oven suited to your existing cookware and production requirements.

Countertop combi ovens can be a practical option where floor space is limited or lower production capacity is required, while larger floor-standing models can provide greater capacity for busy professional kitchens. Electric and gas models are also available, with the most suitable option depending on your existing services, installation requirements and kitchen setup.

Combi Oven Features

Commercial combi ovens are available with a range of features depending on the model and manufacturer. These can include manual controls, programmable cooking, touchscreen interfaces, recipe management and automatic cleaning programmes. When comparing models, consider which features will provide the most benefit to your kitchen and cooking requirements.

Commercial Applications

Commercial combination ovens are suitable for a wide variety of professional catering environments, including restaurants, hotels, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes, canteens and contract catering operations. Their ability to combine several cooking methods in one appliance makes them particularly useful where kitchen space, consistency and production capacity are important considerations.

Always check the individual product specification and installation requirements before purchase.
