  • Cons: The single fan speed is great for general use but lacks finesse for delicate patisserie.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Granary Bistro in Salisbury needed to upgrade their ageing oven, which was causing inconsistent bakes and  struggling to keep up with their popular lunchtime service. They chose the Buffalo CW864 for its capacity and  simple plug-in design.

"It's been absolutely brilliant. Everything cooks so evenly now, from our sausage rolls to our Victoria sponges. We just set the dial and  trust it to do its job, which has freed us up massively during busy periods. Our customers have even commented on how consistently good the baked goods are!"

- Tom Evans, Head Chef

The bistro's new setup has allowed them to increase their daily baked goods output by over 30%, significantly reducing food waste from uneven cooking.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, sturdy countertop that can comfortably support 58kg.
  • Leave at least 20cm of space around the sides and  back for proper air circulation.
  • Before first use, run the oven empty at 200°C for 20 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues.
  • Simply plug it into a standard 13-amp wall socket. No special wiring needed!

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel interior daily with a damp cloth to prevent food build-up.
  • The shelves and  side racks are removable for easy soaking and  deep cleaning.
  • Regularly check the door seal for any damage to ensure heat doesn't escape.
  • The inner door glass, seal, and  lightbulb are designed to be user-replaceable, saving you a call-out fee.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Convection Oven

Feeling a bit lost in the world of ovens? Let's make sure you get the perfect fit for your professional kitchen.

Power & Plug Type

Does your kitchen have a standard 13A socket available, or do you need a hardwired unit? This model's 'plug and  play' design is perfect for avoiding electrician costs.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Consider how many GN pans you need to cook at once. This 4 x 1/1 GN oven is a great all-rounder, but make sure you've measured the counter space first!

Controls: Manual or Digital?

Simple dials, like on this Buffalo oven, are robust and  intuitive for all staff. Digital controls offer more precision but can be more complex to operate.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for stainless steel interiors and  removable shelf runners. They make the end-of-day clean-down significantly faster and  easier.

Primary Cooking Style

Are you mostly roasting, baking, or regenerating food? A convection oven is a master of all trades, making it a fantastic and  versatile choice for most kitchens.

The Secret to Even Bakes: How Fan Convection Helps Your Kitchen

Ever had a tray of pastries where the ones at the back are burnt and  the ones at the front are pale? That's what a 'static' oven does. The Buffalo CW864 uses single-fan convection to solve this. Think of it like a powerful, precise hairdryer inside your oven. Instead of letting heat just sit there in pockets, the fan actively circulates the hot air around the entire 100 litre cavity. This constant movement blasts away the 'cold air bubble' that surrounds food, ensuring every pie, potato, and  pastry is cooked evenly, no matter which of the four shelves it's on. It’s the key to getting consistent, professional results every single time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Village Pubs & Inns: Perfect for reliably cooking Sunday roasts, lasagnes, and  jacket potatoes for your regulars without fuss.
  • Independent Cafés: Effortlessly bake daily batches of scones, cakes, and  pastries, or heat paninis and  pies for the lunch rush.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: Its simple 13A plug-and-play operation makes it ideal for setting up a professional kitchen anywhere.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: A great choice for baking fresh bread, savoury tarts, and  other deli items right there on site.
