Trusted Insights from Oliver Bennett
Commercial Catering Equipment Specialist
12+ years experience
"Combi ovens are the Swiss Army knife of the kitchen—steam, roast, bake, and regenerate all in one unit, saving you space and serious energy. Invest in a good one and you’ll wonder how you ever ran a service without it!"
How Commercial Combi Ovens Work
The genius of professional combi ovens lies in their three distinct cooking methods working in perfect harmony. The convection function circulates hot air around your food for even browning and crisping—ideal for pastries and roasts. Switch to steam mode, and the unit injects precisely controlled steam (100°C) for gentle cooking that preserves nutrients and prevents shrinkage. The real magic happens in combination mode, where both systems work together, maintaining moisture while browning—perfect for achieving that golden chicken with succulent meat inside. With programmable settings and touchscreen controls, you can save recipes and ensure consistency whether you're batch cooking or preparing à la carte dishes!
Safety Guidelines
- Daily Inspection Check seals and door mechanisms—prevents steam burns.
- Heat Protection Always use proper gloves when handling hot trays.
- Steam Risk Open door in two stages—allows steam to escape safely.
- Proper Training Ensure all staff understand operational procedures.
- Regular Maintenance Schedule professional servicing twice yearly.
- Power Safety Never hose down electrical components—causes shorts.
