Having a commercial oven in a kitchen, a laboratory, a pastry shop or a delicatessen plays a key role for both the realization of successful dishes and the adoption of a more profitable working method that increases quality and profits. A combi oven or a speed oven: which one to choose?

A combi oven is the highest expression of a commercial oven.

It is an oven that, in addition to distributing heat through air flows, adds another fundamental element for cooking: steam. It was created to cover all the climatic conditions necessary to complete a cooking process: from steam cooking to grilling. A commercial combi oven can cook anything and is designed to withstand all conditions. This oven allows you to choose the percentage of humidity you want to have inside the cooking chamber. Furthermore, thanks to new technologies, UNOX intelligent combi ovens can automatically recognize the amount of food baked, the characteristics and climatic conditions in which to operate by automatically adjusting the settings, to ensure the perfect result in every condition.

A speed oven is an oven that uses a combination of microwaves and hot air to cook or regenerate food.

The microwaves act directly on the water in the food to create heat from the inside. Hot air heats the outside of the food. The combination of the two ensures incredibly fast cooking times and even faster regeneration times.

Commercial ovens can be electric or gas and have manual or digital controls. The manual oven is the one with the classic knobs. It is intuitive and suitable for simple cooking techniques. The digital oven, on the other hand, is ideal for more advanced uses and offers the advantage of being able to program, customize and save recipes.

Why choose a self-cleaning oven?

Cleaning your oven daily can be a big effort, but it is a necessary activity to avoid malfunctions or food contamination and to ensure the efficiency of your appliance and meet the hygiene standards of a commercial kitchen. It is not always easy to understand the degree of dirt in the cooking chamber and choose the most suitable cleaning program. For this reason, UNOX created an innovative commercial self-cleaning oven. Thanks to very precise sensors, it verifies the amount of dirt accumulated and then selects the most efficient washing program for every situation avoiding waste of water and detergent. UNOX ovens are intelligent self-cleaning ovens.
