Expert Review and  Insights

Buffalo have really hit the sweet spot here. They’ve managed to pack in the kind of smart features, like the multi-timer and  precise steam control, that you’d usually expect on a machine costing twice as much. It feels solid, the touchscreen is responsive even with greasy fingers, and  it genuinely streamlines the workflow in a busy service. It’s a proper workhorse with a modern brain.

  • Top-Tier Tech, Sensible Price: The multicook function is superb for complex multi-part menus.
  • Needs a Pro Install: Its 10.2kW power demands a hardwired setup, not a simple plug-in.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Clifftop Café in Whitby needed to modernise its kitchen. Their existing setup of separate convection and  steam ovens was inefficient and  led to inconsistent results during the frantic tourist season, causing delays and  food waste.

"The Buffalo combi oven has completely streamlined our operation. The 'All-on-Time' function means our Sunday roasts – the beef, potatoes, and  veg – all finish together, perfectly cooked. It's taken so much pressure off the team."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Since installation, the café has reduced its average ticket time by 20% during peak lunch service and  virtually eliminated cooking-related food waste.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit is powerful and  must be hardwired into your mains supply by a qualified commercial electrician.
  • Ensure it's installed on a flat, level, and  stable surface that can support its weight.
  • A mains water connection is required for the steam functions. We highly recommend a water filter in hard water areas.
  • Leave adequate space around the unit (as per the manual) for ventilation and  to prevent heat build-up.

Keeping It Going

  • Make the most of the brilliant automatic wash cycle! Run it at the end of each day to prevent grease build-up.
  • Regularly check and  wipe the door seals to ensure they are clean and  create a perfect seal.
  • If you're in a hard water area, follow a regular descaling schedule to protect the steam generator.
  • Clean the full-colour touchscreen with a soft, damp cloth and  avoid abrasive chemicals.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Combi Oven

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

Measure Your Space & Access

This is a large unit. Double-check your kitchen dimensions, but also doorways and  corridors it needs to pass through for delivery.

Check Your Power Supply

A 10.2kW oven needs a dedicated, hardwired electrical circuit installed by a pro. Check your fuse board's capacity first.

Capacity vs. Covers

A 7 x GN 1/1 oven is ideal for kitchens serving 100-200+ covers per service. Be realistic about your peak demand.

Water Quality Matters

To get the best from steam functions and  prolong the oven's life, a water softener or filter is a wise investment in hard water areas.

Smart Features or Simple Controls?

This model is packed with tech. If your menu is simple, you might not need 99 programs, but the touchscreen is a bonus for any skill level.

The Value of Self-Cleaning

Don't underestimate an automatic wash cycle. It saves countless staff hours and  ensures the oven is always hygienically clean and  ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'GN 1/1' mean?

A: It refers to 'Gastronorm', a standard European sizing for kitchen trays and  containers. A 1/1 tray measures 530 x 325mm, making it easy to swap pans between your oven, fridge, and  service counter.

Q: What is 'combi' cooking?

A: It's the combination of dry convection heat (like a fan oven) and  steam. You can use them separately or blend them to cook faster, improve food texture, and  retain moisture.

Q: Can I really cook different foods at the same time?

A: Yes! The 'Multicook' or 'All-on-Time' function allows you to load different items with different cooking times, and  the oven will manage them to all finish simultaneously.

Q: Is the touchscreen difficult to use for staff who aren't tech-savvy?

A: Not at all. It's designed like a smartphone, with clear icons and  simple menus. Pre-programming your core recipes makes it a simple one-touch operation for any team member.

Q: What does the core cooking probe do?

A: You insert the probe into the thickest part of a piece of meat or fish. The oven then cooks until the food's internal core reaches the perfect temperature you've set, guaranteeing it's cooked perfectly and  safely.

Q: How does the automatic cleaning cycle work?

A: The oven uses a combination of water, steam, and  a specialised detergent (sold separately) to run a powerful internal cleaning programme, dissolving grease and  food residue automatically.

Q: What is Delta T cooking?

A: It's a gentle cooking method where the oven temperature stays at a set difference ('Delta') above the food's core temperature (measured by the probe). It's brilliant for slow-cooking large, delicate joints of meat for maximum tenderness.

Q: Does this commercial kitchen combi oven need a water connection?

A: Yes, for the steam and  combi-steam functions, as well as the automatic wash cycle, a 3/4" BSP mains water connection is required.

What Customers Are Saying

"An absolutely brilliant bit of kit. The touchscreen is so easy to programme, and  the results are spot on every single time. The self-cleaning function is worth its weight in gold!"

Sarah Jones – The Plough Inn, Cotswolds

"We bought this for our catering business and  it's been a workhorse. The 7 tray combi steam oven capacity is massive and  lets us handle big events without breaking a sweat. Really impressed."

Tom Williams – Williams Catering, Manchester

"We replaced two older ovens with this one unit and  it does everything better. Cooking with the core probe is fantastic for getting our roast beef perfect for carvery service."

How 'Clima Control' Guarantees Perfect Results

Ever wonder how some kitchens get such moist, tender roasts or perfectly crisp bread crusts? The secret is often precise humidity management, and  that's exactly what 'Clima Control' does. Think of it like a thermostat for moisture. In a normal oven, you just set the temperature. With Clima Control, you also set the exact percentage of steam in the cooking chamber. This allows you to add a touch of moisture to prevent a chicken from drying out, or use a burst of steam to create that amazing artisan bread crust. It gives you a level of control that's simply impossible with a standard convection oven, ensuring your food's texture is as perfect as its temperature.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Gastropubs

    Perfect for executing a diverse menu with precision, from slow-cooked meats to delicate steamed fish and  baked desserts.

  • Event & Contract Caterers

    The large capacity and  multicook function are ideal for preparing multiple components for large functions simultaneously.

  • Hotel Kitchens

    Handles breakfast, room service, and  restaurant demands with ease, while the proving function is brilliant for in-house bakeries.

  • Schools & Care Homes

    Provides consistent, repeatable results for large-scale meal production, ensuring nutritional and  quality standards are always met.
