Lainox Naboo Boosted Electric Combi Oven 16x 1/1 GN NAE161BS

The Lainox Naboo Boosted NAE161BS is a stacked electric combination oven configured as two independent units within a single structure — a 6-grid oven positioned above a 10-grid oven — giving a combined capacity of 16 full 1/1 GN positions. Each oven operates independently, with its own 10-inch full-colour touch screen, its own cooking programmes, and its own set of controls. This makes it a genuinely flexible setup rather than simply a large oven: the two cavities can run different processes simultaneously, at different temperatures, serving different parts of the menu at the same time.

In a busy kitchen, that independence is a significant operational advantage. A high-footfall restaurant, contract catering operation, or large staff catering facility can run regeneration in one cavity while roasting in the other, or hold one oven on a banqueting programme while the second handles à la carte production. Convection, steam, and combination modes are accessible directly from the home screen on each unit, and the touch interface allows frequently used menu items to be pinned for single-touch recall — reducing the margin for error during a busy service and making the ovens accessible to a broader range of kitchen staff.

The multilevel cooking function is worth noting for kitchens managing complex menus. The oven can identify saved recipes that share compatible cooking parameters, allowing different items to run together in the same cavity without compromising the result. Recipes can be organised into folders, which supports consistent output across shifts and helps with onboarding new kitchen staff.

• Two independent cavities allow simultaneous cooking of different menu items
• Single-touch recipe recall reduces reliance on individual cook knowledge
• Folder-organised recipe storage supports consistency across shifts
• Full convection, steam, and combination modes on both cavities
• Stainless steel construction suits demanding commercial environments

Installation planning is essential for a unit of this scale. The NAE161BS is a substantial piece of equipment — 250kg and over two metres in height — and will require careful assessment of floor loading, ceiling clearance, and access routes before delivery. As an electric unit, it will need a suitable dedicated electrical supply; this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician at the planning stage. Adequate ventilation is required, either via a canopy extraction system or a ventilated hood arrangement — connection to an appropriate extraction setup is not optional. Water connection and drainage are also required for steam functions. This unit is best suited to kitchens with the infrastructure and physical space to support it properly.

The NAE161BS is well suited to high-volume operations: large restaurants, hotels, contract caterers, central production units, and event or banqueting kitchens where throughput demands more than a single oven can realistically handle. For operations with more modest volume requirements, smaller-capacity models in the Naboo range offer the same cooking intelligence in a more appropriate footprint. For sites needing even greater capacity or more advanced production control, it is worth exploring the broader Lainox range before committing.

If you are assessing whether this configuration is the right fit for your kitchen — or whether the split 6+10 arrangement suits your service style better than a single large cavity would — the team is happy to work through that with you before you order.
