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

The Lainox Naboo Boosted NAE161BS is a stacked gas combination oven comprising two independent cooking chambers — a six-grid lower unit and a ten-grid upper unit — operating together within a single stainless steel structure. Each chamber functions independently, with its own dedicated controls, giving kitchens the flexibility to run entirely different programmes simultaneously across sixteen 1/1 GN positions. All three cooking modes — convection, steam, and combination — are available in each chamber, covering the full range of roasting, baking, steaming, regenerating, and combination cooking that a busy professional kitchen requires.

In service, the NAE161BS is built for sustained high-volume output. The dual-chamber configuration means production across the two ovens can be managed independently during peak periods, allowing different menu items to cook concurrently without compromise. Multilevel cooking intelligence allows dishes with different cook times to run within the same chamber at the same temperature, with the system identifying compatible recipes automatically — a practical advantage when throughput matters and oven space is at a premium. Gas operation typically offers strong energy economy under continuous use, and the Boosted specification supports rapid heat recovery after door openings, maintaining consistent results across extended service periods.

From an operational standpoint, the NAE161BS offers several day-to-day advantages:

• Dual independent chambers allow two separate menus or programmes to run simultaneously
• Each chamber has its own 10-inch full-colour touch screen with folder-based recipe organisation
• Frequently used recipes can be pinned to the home screen for single-touch access during service
• Multilevel cooking reduces idle oven capacity and improves overall throughput
• Gas operation supports efficient running costs under heavy continuous use

At 270kg and with a footprint of just over a metre wide and approaching a metre in depth, this is a substantial piece of equipment requiring careful planning before installation. Gas supply, extraction, and adequate service clearance all need to be confirmed prior to delivery. The overall height of over two metres means ceiling height and access routes must be verified — particularly in kitchens with low ceilings or restricted entry points. A suitable gas connection with appropriate pressure and flow rate is essential, and commissioning by a Gas Safe registered engineer is a legal requirement. Water connection for the steam functions and a drain for condensate will also be required. Weight distribution and floor loading should be assessed, especially in first-floor or basement kitchen environments.

The NAE161BS is well suited to high-volume operations where continuous output across a broad menu is the daily reality — large hotel kitchens, contract catering facilities, central production units, and busy restaurant kitchens serving significant covers. The sixteen-grid capacity makes it practical for banqueting preparation, large-scale regeneration, or running separate cooking streams for different menu sections in parallel. For operations with more modest throughput requirements, a single-chamber model at lower capacity would likely be a more proportionate choice. Equally, sites with very high production demands and available floor space may benefit from considering higher-capacity alternatives in the range.
