A combi oven is a three-in-one oven that allows users to cook with steam, hot air (convection), or both. The combi-steam oven is so versatile that you can use it to replace various appliances including standalone steamers and convection ovens. Since their invention over 40 years ago, commercial combi ovens have become a staple in kitchens across the globe. We only source our combi ovens from the world's top brands, so of course, our range includes Rational combi ovens as well as Unox combi ovens.
Combi Ovens work in one of two ways; firstly, combi-steam ovens siphon water from a small water tank and increase temperature using a built-in boiler. The second way, is water is sprayed into the hot oven chamber where the water is turned into steam. The resulting steam is then released into the oven, where it cooks the food combined with the circulated hot air by convection heat. But combi-ovens can do more than just cooking food in a traditional way, they are also perfect for steaming & dehydrating.
Combi-steam ovens have several features that distinguish them from convection ovens or static commercial ovens. By cooking with steam, combi ovens offer users shorter cooking times and a faster output of food. Steaming also influences the taste, texture and appearance of food. Combi-steam ovens can produce stronger aromas, brighter colours and juicier bites.
Commercial combi ovens are an excellent choice for establishments looking for a versatile oven that can perform multiple functions while offering short cooking times. More specifically, they're ideal for restaurants or cafes that serve at least 30 meals and want to streamline their service during busy times. They are also commonly used for overnight or low & slow cooking.
Compact combi-steam ovens are the ideal investment for anyone who is restricted to a tight footprint in an existing commercial kitchen.
You can cook all kinds of food in a combi oven. Use it to roast, bake, and braise meats like poultry and lamb & beef. You can also use it to steam, smoke, sous vide, oven grill, reheat and keep food warm. There is not much a combi-steam oven from Industrial Kitchens can’t do.
Generally speaking, you don't need new equipment or accessories for your combi oven, you can keep using what you have in terms of trays. One recommendation we have in particular is in most cases is to invest in a stainless steel oven stand to ensure that your commercial combi oven fits properly into your industrial kitchen design. At Industry Kitchens, we have oven stands of all sizes and shapes to match our wide range of combi ovens. We do stock a large range of trays and accessories including installation & stacking kits.
In some cases combi ovens are designed to be stacked ontop of eachother; also there is sometimes the opportunity to stack them on blast chillers; depending on the combination.
