WHAT IS A COMBI-OVEN?
The Evolution of Cooking
From the early beginning, to today, not much has changed.
The Foodservice Industry is plagued by highly inefficient and outdated cooking equipment.
In today’s kitchen operations, it is common to have excessively hot working conditions and cooking equipment which demands
every minute of the chefs attention.
From standing over open flame ranges, to turning of trays
within a convection oven, the end-results are consistently
inconsistent.
