Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Combi Oven 11 x GN 1/1 with Stand & Hood

The Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Combi Oven is an 11 x GN 1/1 combination oven designed for professional kitchen use. It combines convection heat, steam, and combination cooking modes within a single unit, and is supplied complete with a floor stand, extraction hood, and installation kit — making it a more complete out-of-the-box solution than many comparably priced combi ovens.

In a working kitchen environment, the oven's ClimaControl system earns its keep. It allows operators to set the precise balance of heat and steam for each cooking programme, which matters when you're producing consistent results across multiple covers. Cooking can be controlled by time, core temperature probe, or Delta T function, giving the kitchen team enough flexibility to handle a varied menu without resorting to workarounds. Up to 99 custom programmes with up to six stages each can be stored, alongside 40 factory presets covering a broad range of dishes from roasting to baking.

From a practical standpoint, the 7-inch full touchscreen panel is straightforward to navigate even during a busy service. GN 1/1 compatibility means trays move seamlessly between the oven and cold storage or other stations without decanting. The automatic self-cleaning cycle reduces the burden on end-of-service cleaning, which in a high-throughput environment is a meaningful time saving.

• Multi-stage programming keeps complex menus running smoothly through service
• ClimaControl allows precise steam and heat balance per programme
• Automatic wash cycle simplifies end-of-service cleaning significantly
• GN 1/1 compatibility integrates with standard kitchen workflow
• Supplied with stand and hood, reducing third-party procurement

This oven requires a hardwired electrical connection and adequate ventilation — the supplied hood assists with this, but the installation location still needs to meet local building and ventilation regulations. At 127kg with the stand, access and positioning should be planned carefully before delivery. The unit is finished in stainless steel throughout and is built to withstand the demands of a commercial environment, though it is worth noting that the two-year parts and labour warranty reflects its positioning in the mid-market rather than the heavy-duty tier.

This model is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and similar sites producing varied menus at moderate to high volume. It is particularly practical for kitchens that need reliable multi-mode cooking without the complexity or cost of higher-specification combi ovens. For very high-volume operations running continuous service across multiple sittings, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty model would be more appropriate for the workload.
