Choosing the Ideal Type of Combi Ovens for Your Commercial Kitchen

Blog | February 21st, 2023

Convection, steam, and the combination of both are the three cooking techniques used by combi ovens. Roasting meats and baking bread can be done using convection or the movement of dry heat. The fish, rice, or veggies are perfectly cooked using the delicate steam function. When using the combination option, steam and convection combined can create meals that are flavourful, moist, and show less shrinking. Combi ovens are a significant investment, but considering how much your entire commercial kitchen equipment package will cost, the purchase is worthwhile. These adaptable devices are wise investments for your business.

Are you trying to find the ideal oven for your commercial kitchen? The market offers a wide variety of ovens, but the combi oven is one of the most efficient and adaptable appliances in a commercial kitchen. Keep reading to learn why.

Combi Ovens are Easily Programmable

Commercial combination ovens are excellent kitchen appliances because you can quickly configure them with the settings you require for a particular dish. These ovens provide multi-stage cooking cycles, enabling you to prepare various menu dishes that ordinarily call for several steps and stages if not prepared in a Combi oven. There are also several combi ovens with pre-programmed recipes. With onboard memory, these ovens let you create and store different recipes.

Combination/Convection Steam Oven Makes a Great Option

If your budget allows, a combination/convection steam oven is your best option. It offers many benefits because it functions as a steam, combination, and standard convection oven. However, this type of oven is not recommended for people who love steamed food.

Combi Oven Is Better Than Steam Only Oven

A steam-only oven is great for folks who prefer to do a lot of things, such as reheat leftovers, make pasta, curries, and more. However, it is recommended that an appliance be versatile if it takes up a lot of room in your kitchen. A combination steam oven is the best option in this situation. It possesses several amazing qualities that make food moist and tender.

In Australia, certain brands provide all-in-one full-sized steam, combination, and convection ovens, so if your family has more than two members, a steam oven alone won’t be the best option because you will need the extra space only full-sized ovens have.

What About Safety?

Combi ovens produce steam. Hence by code, they normally need an exhaust hood. Talk to our appliance experts at A1 Cooking Equipment to learn more about the requirements to determine exactly what you may or may not need. While some locations permit standard exhaust ducting, others demand fire-rated grease ducting, which is a more complex, more expensive option.

Additionally, you should check the specifications for any equipment you plan to buy because different models have different requirements in every commercial kitchen setup.
