The Different Types of Ovens for your Commercial Usage Needs

An oven is an essential piece of equipment which plays an important role in catering to all of your commercial cooking needs. There are many types of ovens available in the market for one to choose from with each one of them specially built to cook and prepare a select range of food items for you to serve your customers. So, if you are in the market for an oven, here are some of the most commonly used types of ovens which can help you prepare and serve some of the best food to your customers.

1.      Combination Oven

A combination oven is best suited to prepare a wide range of dishes due to the different functions it offers to cater to your different commercial cooking needs. A standard combination oven has 3 functions to help you cook and prepare different types of meats and vegetables with ease. They are;

• Convention cooking mode
• Steam cooking mode
• Combination cooking mode

The convection mode circulates dry heat within the oven to create an environment which is best suited to prepare breads and pastries. In the steam mode, pressurized steam is used to create a dense environment which is best to cook rice, vegetables and fish. The combination cooking mode is what is unique about the combination oven as it allows you to maintain a humid environment within the oven to make sure that the food does not lose its moisture.

The oven requires a constant water and an energy (either electric or gas) supply to function optimally. Thus, investing in a combination oven is a worthwhile investment which can help you bring out the best in your food.

2.      Microwave Grill Oven

A microwave grill oven (also known as an oven toaster grill) performs the function of a typical microwave in addition to a few more tricks which it has up its sleeve. The equipment comes fitted with heating coils which allow you to roast and grill different food items including eggs, bacon, bread and much more.

Microwave grill ovens can be plugged into an electric power source to perform their function. So, if your restaurant has a variety of grilled and roasted items on its menu, buying a microwave grill oven can help you prepare your dishes with ease.

3.      Steam Oven

A steam oven, like the name suggests, uses pressurized steam to help you prepare different food items. The steam which circulates within the oven allows the food being cooked to maintain its moisture and nutrients which are necessary to ensure it does not lose its taste and nutritional value. So, if you want to make sure your vegetables remain crisp, your fish is served moist and tender, and your rice is cooked to perfection, using a steam oven can help you do just that.

4.      Convection Microwave Oven

A convection microwave oven is a combination of a microwave oven and a convection oven which allows you to cook your food quickly and make sure it is browned and crisp at the same time. This piece of equipment has become the preferred option of many restaurant owners due to its compact nature and functionality which allows it to prepare different types of food items.
