Product Description
The Buffalo convection oven with humidity is a full-size forced-air oven designed for professional kitchens running on a standard single phase supply. It accommodates four full GN 1/1 trays simultaneously and includes a basic humidity injection function, making it suitable for a wider range of cooking tasks than a dry convection oven alone — from roasting and baking through to finishing dishes where a touch of moisture retention matters.
In a working kitchen environment, the bi-directional fan circulation helps maintain an even temperature across all rack positions, which reduces the need for tray rotation during service. The humidity button delivers a manual steam injection rather than a programmable climate cycle, so operators get a practical moisture boost without the complexity of a full combi oven. For sites producing moderate volumes — a busy café, a small restaurant kitchen, or a contract catering operation with straightforward menu requirements — this level of control is generally sufficient.
Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Manual dial controls that are straightforward to operate and require minimal training
- Glass door allowing cooking progress to be monitored without opening the oven and losing heat
- Stainless steel construction that withstands the cleaning routine of a commercial kitchen
- Single phase connection, removing the need for three phase electrical infrastructure
- Compact footprint relative to its four-tray capacity
Being single phase, installation is straightforward in most existing commercial premises without electrical upgrade work. At 50kg, positioning and bench placement should be planned in advance — adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and safe operation is important. This is not a plumbed steam system; the humidity function is injection-based, so no water connection is required.
This oven suits smaller commercial operations where a reliable, easy-to-operate unit with basic humidity capability covers the menu requirements. It is not designed to replace a full combi oven in a high-volume production kitchen, and for sites running continuous heavy output across multiple meal periods, a higher-capacity or programmable alternative may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this oven matches your service volumes or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk through your requirements before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It is well suited to moderate-volume operations such as restaurants, cafés, or small contract catering kitchens running regular service periods. For sites with continuous high-output demand across back-to-back services or large-scale production requirements, a heavier-duty or higher-capacity model would be worth discussing with us.
- No. The humidity on this oven is an injection-based system rather than a plumbed steam generator, so no water connection is needed. This makes installation simpler and keeps it practical for kitchens where plumbing access near the oven position is limited.
- The oven runs on a single phase 230V supply, which suits most existing commercial premises without electrical upgrade work. At 50kg it is a bench-mount or stand-mount unit, so the supporting surface needs to be rated for the weight. Adequate ventilation clearance around the unit should be maintained — if you are fitting it into an enclosed space or under a canopy, it is worth checking airflow requirements with our team beforehand.
