COMBI OVENS

THE PERFECT COMBINATION.
With the Hobart Combi® Oven, you can cook with dry convection heat. You can also cook with fan-assisted steam. Or you can use a combination of both, where you precisely control the amount of steam (humidity) you want—from 0% to 100%. It's a combination that gives you virtually unlimited versatility in baking, grilling, roasting, steaming, proofing, rethermalization, low-temp cooking, "Healthy-Fry" techniques and high-yield, low-shrinkage Delta-T cooking. What makes it all so perfect is that it's all so easy.

From end to beginning, the perfect combination. Hobart took an unusual approach when we designed our combi ovens. We started with the end result: the perfectly prepared food you present to your customer.

A roasted chicken, perhaps, with a crisp, golden skin and fall-off-the-bone juicy meat with virtually no shrinkage. Or pan after pan of "Healthy-Fry" French fries, deep-fat crispy—without the deep fat. Or rethermalized cook/chill meals that come out with their original freshness restored.

Versatility and efficiency have made combi ovens the workhorses of today's kitchens in both foodservice and food retail. Now Hobart has taken all the advantages of combination cooking and fine-tuned them to produce the consistent, customer-pleasing results you want. That's what makes a Hobart Combi Oven the centerpiece of your productive kitchen.

Three modes, endless possibilities.

Three cooking modes give Hobart Combi Ovens their versatility in baking, grilling, roasting, steaming, proofing, rethermalization, low-temp cooking, "Healthy-Fry" techniques and high-yield, low-shrinkage Delta-T cooking.

Convection mode. Cook with dry convection heat. An automatic vent lets out humidity, for the bone-dry environment that's perfect for pastries, breads, coloring and glazing. Inject steam at any time with a touch of a humidifier button.

Steam mode. Cook with fan-assisted steaming up to 212°F to steam fish, shellfish, rice, vegetables and meats, or for poaching terrines and pâtés.

Combination mode. Cook in convection mode while maintaining the humidity levels you want, from 0% to 100%, reducing shrinkage and weight loss. Combination mode is ideal for meat and poultry dishes, regenerating meals, bain-marie cooking and plated banqueting.

Consistent results, anywhere, everywhere, every time.

It's your signature entrée. It has to be cooked, just right, the same way, every time. Your customers know what to expect. Whether their meal is prepared in your foodservice kitchen or a high-volume operation, whether it's a popular grab-and-go deli item or a complete take-home meal from your in-store kitchen, what you and your customers want is consistency.

Hobart Combi Ovens deliver that consistency and repeatability. We've taken temperature and humidity control to a new level—and handed the controls to you.

Optional Hobart Combi Barcode Scanner. Now you can turn every recipe into a barcode that operators just have to scan and press Start to cook. It brings a whole new era of simplicity and consistency to cooking.

Humidity control. Hobart’s oven-chamber humidity control system continuously and accurately maintains the humidity level during the cooking process. You can adjust humidity from 0% to 100%. Add humidity at any time, with the simple press of a button.

Temperature control. Stainless steel, inside and out. Double-glazed doors and super-insulation to keep the heat where it’s needed. You can effortlessly and precisely preset or adjust temperatures, knowing that the temperature you want is the temperature you get. Rapid heat-up and cool-down functions get you to full temperature within minutes, cooled down within seconds.

Four-speed, auto-reversing adjustable fan. Hobart’s exclusive four-speed, auto-reversing fan with electrical braking precisely controls airflow. You cook at an even, constant temperature, top to bottom, front to back, without rotating the food. You can also minimize air movement for baking delicate confectionary items and pastries.
