Combi oven vs convection oven: which does your kitchen need?

A convection oven cooks using circulated hot air, while a combi oven can also use steam and combine steam with hot air. The right choice depends on the cooking methods your menu requires.

If your work mainly involves baking and roasting with dry heat, a suitable convection oven may cover your needs. A combi oven gives you additional cooking options where steam or controlled humidity forms part of the process.

Compare the specific models’ capacity, cleaning arrangements and installation requirements before buying. When shopping second hand, ask for a demonstration of the functions you will actually use and include installation in your budget.
