Unox FAQ

The convection oven is a kind of oven that uses the air flow created by the fans to distribute the heat within the cooking chamber to cook food. A good convection oven controls the air flows to guarantee perfect heat distribution within the baking chamber, for uniform results at every point throughout every tray, for all trays, regardless of the quantity of food cooked.

UNOX convection ovens use the AIR.Plus technology to perfectly and uniformly distribute the heat within the baking chamber, guaranteeing perfect colouring of frozen bakery and pastry products.

The threefold oven, also known as combi oven, is a kind of oven that, besides using the air flow to distribute the heat, adds another key element for the cooking process: steam.

 By "low temperature" we mean a cooking technique that always uses temperatures lower than 95°C. Low temperature cooking is a technique typically applied to cuts of meat rich in connective tissue or fat, but recently it has also become popular for grilled meat (such as reverse searing) and fish.

Which are the benefits of low temperature cooking? It maintains the organoleptic characteristics of the food intact and ensures low degradation of vitamins and essential nutrients, with minimum weight loss. From the aesthetic point of view, food has more intact colours compared to the traditional cooking, the weight loss is less and the taste is incomparable. The low temperature cooking can be made either with food in an open baking tray or with vacuum, using special heat-resistant plastic bags.

The oven is one of the least pleasant appliances to clean. There are many ways to clean a professional oven:

- By hand, with detergent and water

- Automatically, thanks to an integrated washing system. 

The first solution is not very precise, time-consuming and does not ensure adequate levels of hygiene. The food not only dirties the parts of the oven you can see, but the dirt is also sucked into the fan and gets everywhere. This is why the latest generation ovens such as CHEFTOP and BAKERTOP MIND.Maps™ are equipped with an automatic washing system.

Its name is Rotor Klean and it allows the detergent to be spread in every corner of the oven, even in non-visible areas.

The SENSE.Klean technology estimates the degree of dirt that accumulates during the different cooking processes and recommends the most suitable cleaning program in order to have maximum hygiene without wasting detergent, water and energy. 

If your oven does not have and automatic washing system, you can use UNOX SPRAY&Rinse™, a spray detergent to make it brilliant and clean! Simply spray the detergent, wait for the descaling action and rinse with a wet cloth and plenty of hot water.

The ovens in the CHEFTOP and BAKERTOP MIND.Maps^™ ranges are available in PLUS and ONE versions. 

The PLUS models are the most technologically advanced in terms of programs and cooking functions (they have automatic cooking modes, functions that allow you to manage more than 10 timers to control the cooking of several products at the same time or to synchronize different loads of food to be baked to have them all ready at the same time).

But not only that! PLUS ovens guarantee maximum performance in terms of washing, double choice of supply, better structural and technical characteristics (larger control panel, triple glass, etc.).

PLUS ovens are also ENERGY STAR^® certified, allowing you to save energy over time and making you earn more money while reducing the time needed for each cooking process.
