A gas combi oven gives you convection, steam and combination cooking in one cabinet, heated by natural gas or propane. Babak Food Equipment supplies commercial gas combi ovens for restaurants, hotels, banquet halls, caterers and institutional kitchens across Vancouver and British Columbia, from brands such as Rational, UNOX and Vulcan. As an authorized UNOX dealer, our team can walk you through the options.
Types of gas combi ovens
Countertop gas combi ovens
Compact models of about 6 to 10 pans fit on a stand or worktop and suit restaurants that cook a varied menu in a small space.
Floor and roll-in gas combi ovens
Larger units of about 20 pans load a full trolley, ideal for banquets, hotels and high-volume kitchens.
Boiler vs. boilerless
Boiler models make steam in a separate generator for heavy steaming; boilerless models inject water into the cabinet and use less water.
How to choose a commercial gas combi oven

Capacity: match the number of pans to your busiest service, and confirm the pan size you use.
Gas type and supply: check natural gas or propane and the supply size; installation must be done by a licensed gas fitter.
Electrical: gas combis still need an electrical connection for controls and fans.
Ventilation: gas combi ovens need a commercial hood under local code.
Water: plan a water line, drain and water filtration to protect the steam system.
Cleaning and controls: automatic cleaning, programmable recipes and core probes save time and labour.
