Product Description
This Buffalo convection oven is a four-tray forced-air oven with a built-in humidity injection function, designed for professional kitchens running a varied menu. The three-phase power supply makes it better suited to sites with a commercial electrical installation than to lighter-duty setups, and the full GN 1/1 tray capacity means it can handle meaningful batch sizes across baking, roasting, and reheating applications.
In a working kitchen, the bi-directional fan helps maintain even heat distribution across all four tray positions, which reduces the need to rotate or check loads mid-cook. The humidity function is a simple single-button injection rather than a programmable steam system, which suits operators who want a reliable moisture boost during baking or to keep roasted proteins from drying out — rather than those needing precise humidity control at multiple stages of a cook cycle.
From an operational standpoint, the manual dial controls are straightforward to use and easy to hand over to kitchen staff without lengthy training. Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Glazed door for monitoring progress without opening and losing heat
- Simple humidity injection to support baking and roasting results
- Manual dial controls — minimal training required for kitchen staff
- Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and ease of cleaning
- Four full GN 1/1 positions providing a workable batch capacity
On the installation side, this is a three-phase unit, so a suitable three-phase supply must be confirmed before ordering. At 50kg it will require more than one person to position safely, and the footprint should be checked against your available bench or stand space. Ventilation requirements should be assessed as part of your kitchen setup — a hood or extraction canopy above the oven is standard practice for a convection unit of this type.
This oven is well suited to small-to-medium professional kitchens — pub kitchens, café bakeries, contract catering operations, and similar environments where consistent all-round cooking performance is needed across a mixed menu. It is not a combi oven and does not offer programmable cooking cycles or precise humidity management; operators needing that level of control should consider a dedicated combi oven. For very high-volume sites turning over continuous full loads through a long service, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this oven is the right fit for your kitchen's power supply, workflow, or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, this is a three-phase unit, so a three-phase supply at the installation point is a firm requirement before ordering. Most purpose-built commercial kitchens already have three-phase provision, but if you are fitting out a converted space or smaller premises, it is worth confirming with your electrician first. Connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician and should comply with current UK wiring regulations.
- The humidity system is a simple steam injection triggered by a single button press rather than a programmable multi-stage system, so it delivers a burst of moisture on demand. This is practical for general bakery work — improving crust development on bread or keeping pastry from over-drying — but it is not a substitute for the precise humidity programming found on a full combi oven. For operations where humidity control at specific stages is critical, a combi oven would be the more appropriate choice.
- It is well suited to small-to-medium operations such as pub kitchens, café bakeries, hotel breakfast services, and contract catering units running a mixed menu. Four GN 1/1 trays gives a reasonable batch capacity for continuous service, though very high-volume kitchens running near-continuous full loads may find a larger or higher-output unit better matches their throughput demands. If you are unsure whether the capacity fits your service model, it is worth discussing your covers and menu requirements with us before ordering.
