Your oven is the heart of the kitchen. The right one depends on your menu, your volume and the space and power you have.
1. Know the main types
- Combi ovens combine convection heat with steam, so one oven can roast, bake, steam and regenerate food. They suit restaurants, clubs, hotels and catering kitchens.
- Convection ovens use a fan to circulate hot air for fast, even baking and roasting, ideal for bakeries and cafés.
2. Size it by trays
Oven capacity is usually listed by the number of trays or GN pans it holds, for example 6 or 10 trays. Think about your busiest service and how many trays you need in at once, then allow a little room to grow.
3. Check power, water and installation
Larger ovens often need three-phase power, and combi ovens also need a water connection and a drain. Check the power and plumbing details on the product page and have a licensed electrician or plumber install it. Most commercial ovens also need suitable exhaust ventilation.
4. Think about controls and cleaning
Programmable controls help staff cook consistently every time. Automatic cleaning programs on combi ovens save a lot of time at the end of a shift.
