Commercial Benchtop Convection Ovens

As opposed to a conventional oven, which applies heat directly to your food to cook it, a convection oven uses a fan to circulate hot air around it instead. The effect is that you’ll still get even, perfectly cooked results, however it’s generally a lot more time-efficient, making convection ovens a great choice for those jobs that require quick cooking.

The right size of Commercial Benchtop Convection Ovens for your establishment will depend on a few factors. First, you’ll want to consider how much space you have available for your oven. Make sure to measure the total footprint size, accounting for extra room to allow adequate airflow. We have comprehensive size information on all of our product pages, making it easy to look through and find one that’ll fit your space.

Another thing to consider is how much food you need to prepare. If you want something for a smaller number of pastries, a two-tray model may be enough. For more regular use throughout the day, or larger volumes of food prep, a three or four tray model will be better. If you need more help, you can always contact our customer service team and they’ll be able to help you with a personal recommendation.

Yes, absolutely. As with any form of benchtop cooking, the space that needs to be heated internally is smaller, meaning that when you’re not cooking in bulk like you would in something like a combi oven, you aren’t generating excess heat for nothing. The convection heating is also more efficient when it comes to how long things take to bake or roast, so you don’t need to run your convection oven for extended periods to get the results you need.

We stock a range of brands, each offering their own unique features, many of which also offer multiple racks. Our Anvil and Apuro models are usually more compact, offering single or dual-trays, while ConvectMAX and Tecnodom have larger models with space for three to four trays.

Absolutely. With temperature settings that range up to 270℃, they lend themselves to a wide range of sweet and savoury options. You can prepare everything from pastries, cakes and cookies, to meat pies, quiches and roast vegetables.

Along with having the standard adjustable temperature controls, convection ovens also allow you to refine how much airflow there is. Higher airflow is great for cooking quickly, but may be too intense for something delicate like a pastry. More rapid and concentrated air circulation is better for things like baking or roasting meat, or anything that’s more dense.

We recommend opting for a model with stainless steel construction for easy cleaning, along with drip trays to make it simple to empty at the end of each shift. When it comes to safety, non-slip feet are always a good addition for benchtop cooking, along with automatic features like timed shutoff once your food is done.

Modern kitchen cooking appliances are always evolving, both in terms of insulation for energy efficiency but also user-experience. Touch temperature control is an emerging feature, along with pre-programmed baking or roasting modes, making it simple for everyone in the kitchen to get your menu items prepared.
