The advantages of combi ovens
Most hob steamers do not have a boiler, where water is poured into a reservoir built into the bottom section of the unit with its own heating element. Plug-in vaporizers have a water line leading to the vaporizer from the building’s water source. Although this type of vaporizer requires additional maintenance and can be more difficult to clean, it handles a much larger volume.
To reduce additional cleaning and maintenance, it is recommended that you only use filtered water with a scale inhibitor. Using tap water will likely have an effect on the taste of your food.
Combined ovens
A commercial combination oven uses steam, convection, or a combination of both to cook food quickly and efficiently. Despite being relatively more expensive than traditional ovens, combination ovens can replace various restaurant equipment, such as warming or holding cabinets, deep fryers, steamers, and traditional convection ovens.
To maximize space in your restaurant, combination ovens can replace other kitchen equipment.
How much can a combi oven support?
Most vaporizers come in sizes from 1 to 4 compartments. A one compartment model has the capacity to produce up to 200 meals per hour. Combination ovens are most often used in high volume situations because they can cook food very quickly and offer multiple cooking options.
Ways to keep your commercial vaporizer running at peak performance
Use filtered water with a scale inhibitor. A scale inhibitor removes minerals from tap water. When minerals build up in the vaporizer, it will lead to performance issues, as well as having to constantly clean. Several vaporizer models come with an alert light that indicates when a build-up needs to be cleaned. The taste of steamed foods can also be affected by minerals in unfiltered water.
Steamers must be preheated before cooking food. Most vapors take about 5 minutes or more to heat up. Food should be seasoned after it has been steamed for the best flavor. For best results when working with vegetables, separate frozen vegetables and use a perforated skillet.
Since vaporizers are much more energy efficient compared to other commercial kitchen equipment, you will save a lot more money over time.
The reasons anyone can buy a commercial combi oven are clear when considering the superior cook times and exceptional taste.
