Expert Review and  Insights

Buffalo has a solid reputation for creating gear that's tough, reliable, and  does the job without any unnecessary frills. This convection oven is a prime example. It's a proper workhorse for any site needing consistent baking and  roasting performance but lacking the space or wiring for a larger, more complex unit. It’s all about straightforward, dependable results.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Pro: The 13A plug makes it incredibly versatile for almost any kitchen setup.
  • Con: Its single fan speed offers simplicity but lacks advanced baking control.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Rolling Pin Bakery in York, North Yorkshire, found their old oven was unreliable and  couldn't keep up with the morning pastry rush, leading to lost sales and  stressful mornings.

"This Buffalo oven heats up in no time. We've gone from struggling to meet demand to having a surplus of perfectly baked croissants every morning. It's been fantastic for our workflow."

David Chen – Owner

The bakery successfully reduced its morning prep time by 25% and  can now bake three different product batches before the doors even open.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  well-ventilated countertop, leaving space around the unit for air to circulate.
  • Before the first use, give the interior and  shelves a good wipe-down with a damp cloth.
  • Run the oven empty at 200°C for 20-30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues.
  • Simply plug it into a standard 13A socket – no electrician needed!

Keeping It Going

  • After it has cooled, wipe down the interior and  the door seal daily with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Remove and  wash the shelves and  side racks regularly to prevent build-up.
  • The door seal, inner glass, and  light bulb are designed to be user-replaceable, keeping maintenance simple.
  • Periodically check that the fan at the back isn't obstructed by any food debris for optimal airflow.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Convection Oven

Not sure which oven is right for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider before you buy.

Power & Plug Type

Will your kitchen support a hardwired unit, or do you need the flexibility of a standard 13A plug? Plug-and-play models like this one are great for avoiding installation costs and  for use in varied locations.

Size & Capacity

Measure your available space carefully! Check the oven's external dimensions to ensure it fits, and  consider the internal capacity (e.g., Gastronorm size) to make sure it can handle your trays and  typical batch sizes.

Controls & Simplicity

Do you need complex digital programming for precise recipes, or are simple, robust manual dials better for your team? Easy-to-use controls reduce training time and  minimise errors during a busy service.

Airflow & Fan System

Most commercial convection ovens use fans for even cooking. A single fan is fantastic for general roasting and  baking, providing consistency and  speed. Consider if your specific products require more advanced airflow control.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features that make daily cleaning easier. A stainless steel construction, removable shelves and  racks, and  rounded internal corners will save your team valuable time at the end of a long day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'fan convection' actually do?

A: It means a fan is used to actively circulate hot air inside the oven. This cooks food faster and  much more evenly than a standard static oven, eliminating hot and  cold spots.

Q: Can I bake very delicate items like meringues?

A: While it's fantastic for general baking like pastries, pies, and  roasting, the powerful single-speed fan might be a bit much for extremely delicate items. It truly excels at being a robust, all-round performer.

Q: Is this oven easy to move?

A: Weighing 30.5kg, it is designed for stable countertop use. However, its plug-and-play nature makes it a great choice for mobile caterers who need to set up in different locations.

Q: What does 2/3 GN capacity mean?

A: 'GN' stands for Gastronorm, a European standard for kitchen container sizes. This oven fits four 2/3 size Gastronorm pans, which is a common and  versatile medium size for professional kitchens.

Q: How quickly does it heat up?

A: It features a rapid heat-up function, meaning it gets to your set temperature significantly faster than a domestic oven, saving valuable time during prep.

Q: Do I need a specialist electrician to install this oven?

A: Absolutely not. The Buffalo CW863 is a 'plug and  play' appliance and  comes with a standard 13A UK plug. You just need a standard socket.

Q: What is the full temperature range?

A: The thermostatic control allows you to set it anywhere from 50°C, which is great for gentle warming, up to 250°C for high-temperature baking and  roasting.

Q: Are the controls difficult to learn?

A: Not at all. It uses two simple, robust dials – one for temperature and  one for the timer. This makes it incredibly straightforward for any staff member to operate without training.

Chloe D. – Café Manager, Manchester

How Fan Convection Delivers Perfect Bakes Every Time

Ever wondered what makes a 'convection' oven different? It's all about the fan. Think of it like the difference between air-drying your hair and  using a hairdryer. A standard static oven just radiates heat, which can lead to hot spots and  uneven results – think trays of buns with burnt edges and  undercooked middles. This Buffalo oven uses a fan to actively circulate hot air all around the cavity. This moving air eliminates those hot and  cold spots, ensuring every item on every shelf gets consistent, even heat. The result? Food cooks faster, browns more evenly, and  you get reliable, repeatable results you can count on, batch after batch.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Village Cafés: Perfect for baking fresh pastries, scones, and  heating savoury snacks without needing complex installation.
  • Country Pubs & Inns: Easily expand your menu with perfectly baked potatoes, homemade pies, or portions of lasagne.
  • Farm Shops and  Delis: A brilliant solution for offering hot baked goods and  appealing grab-and-go items to customers.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Stalls: A reliable and  powerful oven that runs off a standard plug, essential for any event.
