Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Combi Oven 7 x GN 1/1

The Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Combi Oven is a seven-rack combination oven designed for professional kitchen use. It operates across convection, steam, and combined modes, allowing kitchens to roast, steam, bake, regenerate, and poach within a single unit. The 7-inch full-colour touchscreen is the primary control interface, through which operators can run manual cooking modes or draw from a library of 40 pre-set programmes covering a broad range of common dishes.

In service conditions, the oven holds up well across a full shift. The ClimaControl system actively manages humidity levels throughout the cooking cycle, which helps maintain consistency across multiple loads — particularly relevant when running through larger covers where moisture loss or uneven cooking would otherwise affect quality. The core probe function allows operators to cook to internal temperature rather than time, reducing the margin for error on proteins during a busy service. Multi-stage cooking programmes can be built and saved, with up to 99 custom programmes available each with up to six stages, which supports consistent output when different team members are operating the unit.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:

• Reduced kitchen footprint by consolidating multiple cooking methods into one appliance
• Consistent results across repeated loads without manual monitoring
• Flexible cooking modes including time-based, core probe, and Delta T functions
• GN 1/1 compatibility allowing direct tray transfer between stations
• Automatic one-touch washing mode simplifying end-of-service cleaning

On the installation side, this is a sizeable unit at 94kg and will require adequate floor space and appropriate ventilation — either a canopy extract or connection to a ventilation system depending on your kitchen setup. The oven-only configuration means no built-in stand is included, so you will need to account for a suitable base or stand that positions the unit at a workable height. Electrical supply requirements should be confirmed with your installer before ordering, and water inlet and drain connections are required for the steam and wash functions. It is worth reviewing access routes during delivery given the unit's weight.

This oven is well suited to mid-sized operations such as hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, contract catering sites, and independent restaurants producing consistent volume across multiple services. It offers a practical balance of functionality and value at this capacity level. For very high-throughput sites or central production kitchens preparing significantly larger volumes, a higher-capacity unit may be worth considering. Equally, smaller operations producing lighter daily covers may find a reduced-rack model better matched to their load.

If you are weighing this up against your current setup or want to talk through whether the capacity and features fit your service model, we are happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.
