Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Combi Oven 7 x GN 1/1

The Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Combi Oven is a seven-rack combination oven built for professional kitchen use. It operates across convection, steam, and combined modes, meaning a single unit handles roasting, steaming, baking, poaching, and regeneration without requiring separate appliances. Control is managed through a 7-inch full-colour touchscreen, giving operators access to manual cooking modes or a library of 40 pre-set programmes that cover a wide range of common dishes.

In service, the oven holds up well across a full shift. The ClimaControl system actively manages humidity throughout each cooking cycle, which helps maintain consistency across repeated loads — particularly useful when running through larger covers where moisture loss or uneven cooking would otherwise affect quality. The core probe function allows cooking to internal temperature rather than time, which reduces the margin for error on proteins during a busy service. Up to 99 custom multi-stage programmes can be saved, each with up to six stages, which supports repeatable output when different team members are running the unit.

The practical advantages for a working kitchen include:

• Consolidates multiple cooking methods into a single unit, reducing kitchen footprint
• Consistent results across repeated loads with minimal manual intervention
• Core probe and Delta T cooking reduce the risk of over or undercooking proteins
• GN 1/1 compatibility allows direct tray transfer between stations
• Automatic one-touch washing mode simplifies end-of-service cleaning

On the installation side, this is a substantial unit and requires careful planning before ordering. Adequate ventilation is essential — either a canopy extract or connection to an existing ventilation system depending on your setup. The oven is supplied without a stand, so a suitable base will need to be sourced separately to position it at a practical working height. Water inlet and drain connections are required for both the steam and wash functions. Electrical supply requirements should be confirmed with your installer ahead of delivery, and at 94kg, access routes to the installation point are worth considering during planning.

This oven is well suited to mid-sized operations — hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, contract catering sites, and independent restaurants producing consistent volume across multiple services. It offers a practical balance of capacity and functionality at this level. For very high-throughput sites or central production kitchens running significantly larger volumes, a higher-capacity unit may be worth exploring. Equally, smaller operations with lighter daily covers may find a reduced-rack model a closer fit for their load.

If you are working through whether the capacity and feature set match your service model, we are glad to talk it through before you make a decision.
