How Commercial Electric Combination Ovens Work
These kitchen marvels operate through a clever combination of cooking methods working in harmony. The convection function circulates hot air around your food for even browning and roasting, while the steam function injects precise moisture levels to prevent drying out delicate items. Many models offer programmable settings with digital controls that let you set specific humidity levels from 0-100%, precise temperatures up to 300°C, and even multi-stage cooking processes. The magic happens when these functions work together—steam-roasting a chicken keeps it juicy inside while achieving that perfect crispy skin, all while cooking up to 30% faster than conventional ovens!
