Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Combi Oven 11 x GN 1/1 with Installation Kit

The Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Combi Oven is a full-featured combination oven designed for professional kitchens that need reliable, flexible cooking across a broad range of dishes. With an 11 x GN 1/1 capacity, it sits in the mid-range of commercial combi ovens and is well suited to kitchens producing consistent volumes across multiple service periods. It ships with an installation kit, which removes one of the more common friction points when bringing a new combi on-site.

In a busy kitchen environment, the oven's ClimaControl system is one of its more practically useful features — it allows operators to dial in the precise balance of heat and steam for each cooking programme, which matters when you're running the same recipes day after day and need consistent results without constant adjustment. The 7-inch touchscreen gives access to up to 99 customisable multi-stage programmes, each with up to six stages, as well as 40 pre-loaded presets covering a broad range of dishes. The choice of time-based, core probe, or Delta T cooking modes gives skilled operators meaningful control without overcomplicating the interface for less experienced staff.

From an operational standpoint, the key day-to-day advantages include:

• Consistent, repeatable results across shifts through saved programmes
• Flexible cooking modes to suit proteins, baked goods, regeneration, and more
• GN 1/1 compatibility allowing trays to move directly between stations
• Automatic one-touch wash cycle, reducing end-of-service cleaning time
• Pre-loaded presets that help less experienced staff achieve reliable outcomes

The oven is a freestanding unit and at 127kg will require careful positioning and adequate team resource for installation. At just under 800mm in both width and depth, it occupies a meaningful footprint, so kitchen placement should be planned carefully — particularly where ventilation canopy alignment is concerned. The inclusion of the installation kit is a practical consideration worth factoring into your setup timeline, but we'd always recommend confirming your electrical supply and ventilation arrangement before the unit arrives on site.

This oven is a sound choice for hotel kitchens, school catering operations, pub kitchens, and contract caterers running multi-dish menus across consistent daily covers. It is not a high-volume production combi and would not be the first choice for very large central production kitchens or high-throughput banqueting operations — for those environments, a larger-capacity or higher-specification model may be more appropriate. Equally, for smaller operations where an 11-shelf capacity would go largely unused, a more compact unit may offer better value.
