Combi ovens are one of the most versatile pieces of commercial cooking equipment available to today’s professional kitchen.
Boasting numerous functions for whatever and however you need to cook, they can significantly increase capacity by replacing a number of appliances in the kitchen, and can help consistently prepare food to a high standard.
Whether you’re poaching delicate fish, roasting beef, or baking pastries, a commercial combi oven is the flexible unit of choice.
Through the addition of steam, combination ovens can speed up the cooking process as well as lock in moisture and flavour. This has the added benefit of increasing yield too. On the other hand, where a crisp or crunchy texture is desired, fans can extract moisture from food, with excellent results.
We’re pleased to be able to offer a range of combination ovens from some of the market’s leading brands, including Hobart and Rational. The wide range of choices available means that you can choose from more cost-effective options to units with large capacities and advanced functionality.
