Hobart Bonnet Equajet 6 Grid Combi Oven Gas

The Hobart Bonnet Equajet is a six-grid gas combination oven designed for serious production cooking in professional kitchen environments. It operates across steam, convection, and combination modes, giving kitchen teams the flexibility to roast, bake, steam, braise, and regenerate within a single unit. The VisioPad control panel provides a clear, touchscreen-style interface that makes programming and recalling cook cycles straightforward, even during a busy service.

In practice, a six-grid combi of this calibre is well suited to kitchens running consistent covers throughout the day — contract caterers, hotel kitchens, large staff restaurants, and production facilities where throughput and repeatability matter. The gas-fired format typically delivers strong heat recovery between loads, which is important when the oven is being opened and reloaded frequently. Consistent results across the full cavity are a practical requirement at this level, and the Equajet is built to meet that standard in sustained, daily use.

Key operational benefits include:

• Combination cooking reduces the need for multiple separate appliances
• Programmable cycles support consistent results across different kitchen staff
• Gas operation can offer running cost advantages over electric in high-use environments
• The VisioPad interface reduces training time and minimises operator error
• Stainless steel construction supports a robust cleaning and hygiene regime

At 108kg and with a footprint of 1000mm wide by 960mm deep, installation planning is important. The unit will require a suitable gas supply with appropriate pressure and flow rate, a properly specified flue or ventilation canopy, and adequate floor loading capacity. Access for delivery and positioning should be considered early — doorways, ramps, and kitchen layout all need checking before the unit arrives on site.

The six-grid format is most appropriate for kitchens cooking at medium to high volume on a regular basis. Smaller operations or those with lighter, less frequent cooking requirements may find a four-grid unit a better fit for their needs and budget. Conversely, very high-volume production sites should consider whether a larger-capacity model would serve them better over the long term.

If you're weighing up whether this unit suits your kitchen's gas supply, ventilation setup, or production volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
