Hobart Bonnet Equajet 10 Grid Gas Combi Oven

The Hobart Bonnet Equajet is a gas-fired combination oven with a 10 grid capacity, controlled through the VisioPad touchscreen panel. Combination ovens of this type deliver steam, convection, and combined steam-convection cooking within a single unit, allowing kitchens to consolidate a wide range of cooking processes without occupying multiple equipment positions. The Equajet series sits toward the higher end of the Bonnet range and is built for continuous, heavy use in demanding professional environments.

At 10 grid capacity, this oven is designed for kitchens where output consistency across large batch loads is a daily requirement. The VisioPad control system allows cooking programmes to be stored and recalled, which helps maintain consistent results across different shifts and varying skill levels within the brigade. Gas-fired models at this scale are commonly selected where electrical infrastructure cannot comfortably support the load demands of an equivalent electric unit, or where gas running costs represent a practical advantage over the long term.

From an operational standpoint, the Equajet brings several practical advantages to a busy service environment:

• Steam, convection, and combination modes consolidated within a single footprint
• Programmable VisioPad controls support repeatable results across shifts and service periods
• Gas operation suits sites where electrical capacity is limited or costly to upgrade
• 10 grid capacity allows substantial batch loads without splitting across multiple units
• Stainless steel construction supports robust daily cleaning and hygiene routines

At 121kg this is a substantial piece of equipment. It requires a firm, level base and adequate clearance for door opening and routine servicing access. Gas combination ovens must be connected to a correctly rated gas supply and installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Steam output at this capacity places real demand on extraction — your existing canopy or ventilation setup will need to be assessed before installation. Water connection and drain provision are also required for both steam generation and cavity cleaning functions. These are not optional considerations and are worth working through early in the planning process.

The Equajet 10 grid is well suited to hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, hospital and education catering facilities, and high-volume restaurant kitchens where batch cooking across two or more service periods daily justifies the investment. Operations with lower throughput or tighter kitchen footprints may find a smaller grid configuration more practical, while very large central production units may have requirements that point toward a higher-capacity model.

A combi oven at this level involves both a meaningful capital investment and a degree of installation planning. If it would be helpful to talk through whether the Equajet 10 grid is the right fit for your kitchen before you proceed, our team is glad to work through that with you.
