Brands Trusted by Industry Professionals

  • Multiple Cooking Modes Microwave, convection, grill, or combined—ultimate kitchen flexibility.
  • Versatile Menu Applications Roasts, bakes, reheats, defrosts, and grills—all from one unit.
  • Durable Stainless Steel Construction Built for commercial kitchens—stands up to daily punishment.
  • High-Speed Cooking Prepares food up to 70% faster—perfect for busy service periods.
  • Even Heat Distribution Consistent results with no cold spots—professional quality every time.

Essential Buying Considerations

Capacity and Size

  • Choose 20-30L models for cafés and small restaurants—balances footprint with output.
  • Larger 34-40L units suit higher-volume operations—check countertop dimensions first.
  • Consider internal cavity height—must accommodate your tallest dishes.

Power Source and Usage

  • Most run on 13A plugs, though high-power models may need 16A or 32A—check your supply.
  • Higher wattage (1800-2200W) reduces cooking times—worth considering for busy venues.
  • Look for models with stage cooking for complex recipes—pairs well with blast chillers for prep.

How Commercial Combination Microwave Ovens Work

These brilliant kitchen workhorses combine three distinct cooking technologies in one unit. The microwave function uses electromagnetic waves to excite water molecules in food, creating rapid internal heating. Meanwhile, the convection element circulates hot air (typically 150-250°C) around the cavity for browning and crisping—something standard microwaves can't achieve. Many models also pack a powerful grill function for direct top-heat. The magic happens when you use these functions simultaneously, cooking food up to 70% faster than conventional ovens while still achieving that proper roasted finish and appetising colour that customers expect.

Safety Guidelines

  • Regular Inspection Check door seals monthly—prevents energy leakage.
  • Proper Spacing Allow 5-10cm clearance around unit—ensures ventilation.
  • Appropriate Containers Use suitable materials for each function—prevents damage.
  • Careful Operation Use oven gloves—food and containers become extremely hot.

  • Professional Servicing Schedule annual maintenance—keeps performance optimal.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Combination Microwave Ovens

To get the most from your combination microwave, use microwave-to-convection mode for items needing browning like pastries or chicken. Always preheat when using convection settings, typically 3-5 minutes. Use metal cookware only in convection or grill mode—never in microwave function. For quick service, pre-program your most popular dishes with exact times and power levels. Consider microwave-safe containers for busy periods—they'll help maintain your rapid service pace.
