Product Description
The Hobart Bonnet Equajet is a gas-fired combination oven running to a 10 grid capacity, controlled via the VisioPad touchscreen panel. Combination ovens of this type deliver steam, convection, and combined steam-convection cooking modes within a single unit, allowing kitchens to consolidate multiple cooking processes under one piece of equipment. The Equajet series sits at the higher end of the Bonnet range, built for continuous heavy use in demanding professional environments.
In service, a 10 grid combi of this scale is well suited to high-throughput kitchens where output consistency across large batch loads matters. The VisioPad control system allows operators to programme and store cooking sequences, which helps maintain consistency across different shifts and skill levels. Gas-fired models of this capacity are commonly used where electrical infrastructure cannot easily support the load demands of an equivalent electric unit, and where gas supply costs are a practical consideration in running costs.
From an operational standpoint, the Equajet brings several practical advantages to a busy kitchen:
- Multi-mode cooking consolidates steam, roast, and bake within a single footprint
- Programmable VisioPad controls support repeatable results across service periods
- Gas operation suits sites where electrical capacity is limited or costly to upgrade
- Stainless steel construction supports robust daily cleaning routines
- 10 grid capacity allows large batch loads to be processed without splitting across multiple units
At 121kg and with a footprint of 1000mm wide by 960mm deep, this is a substantial piece of equipment that will require a firm, level base and adequate clearance for door opening and servicing access. Gas combination ovens of this type require a correctly rated gas supply connection and must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Ventilation requirements will need to be assessed against your existing canopy or extraction setup — a combi oven producing steam at this capacity places meaningful demand on extraction. Water connection and drain provision are also required for steam generation and cavity cleaning functions.
The Equajet 10 grid is best suited to hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, hospital or education catering facilities, and busy restaurant kitchens where batch cooking volumes justify the investment. It is a considered choice for operations running two or more full service periods daily. Sites with lower throughput requirements or tighter kitchen footprints may find a smaller grid configuration more appropriate, while very large central production units may want to consider higher-capacity alternatives in the Bonnet range.
Combi ovens at this level involve a meaningful investment and a degree of installation planning — if you would like to talk through whether the Equajet 10 grid is the right fit for your operation, our team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A 10 grid unit is generally suited to operations producing high volumes across multiple service periods — hotel kitchens, contract catering, and busy restaurant kitchens are typical environments where this capacity is justified. If your throughput is lower or your kitchen space is restricted, a smaller grid configuration may be more practical, and we can help you assess which size aligns with your actual service volumes.
- As a gas combination oven, the Equajet must be connected and commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and you will need a correctly rated gas supply to the installation point. The unit also requires a mains water connection for steam generation, a drain connection for condensate and cleaning cycles, and adequate ventilation — your existing canopy or extraction system should be reviewed to confirm it can handle the steam load this size of oven produces.
- At 10 grid capacity, electric combination ovens typically draw a substantial three-phase electrical load, which can require costly supply upgrades in older or smaller premises. A gas-fired model like the Equajet avoids that infrastructure demand and can be more economical to run where mains gas is already available on site. The practical cooking performance across both fuel types is broadly comparable — the decision usually comes down to existing site infrastructure and ongoing energy costs.
