As a bakery owner or baker, you know the importance of having the right equipment in your kitchen. One of the most essential pieces of equipment you own is your bakery oven; it crisps up your croissants and browns your sourdough loaves, but have you considered investing in a combination oven for more even and consistent baking? Not only do they save space in your kitchen, but they can also provide many advantages over traditional ovens.
In this blog, we'll discuss why a combi oven, or alternatively the RATIONAL iCombi Pro cooking system, is a great choice for a bakery!
A combination oven is a must-have tool. These ovens offer precise humidity control, energy efficiency, and the ability to use both convection and steam cooking methods. These features allow bakeries to produce perfectly baked goods with crisp crusts, flaky pastries, and moist cakes.
Combi ovens are also ideal for small kitchens, as they have smaller footprints and are available in countertop models. Consider factors such as oven size, cooking capacity, and maintenance requirements when purchasing one for your bakery. By investing in a high-quality combination oven, bakeries can elevate their baking results and provide their customers with delicious and perfectly cooked baked goods every time… or even better, invest in the RATIONAL iCombi Pro!
1. Even baking
One of the advantages of using the RATIONAL iCombi Pro is its ability to evenly bake all types of baked goods, from bread to pastries. This is possible due to the combination of steam and dry heat technology used. Traditional ovens use only dry heat, which can result in uneven baking and inconsistent results.
2. Versatility
As a baker, you know that different baked goods require different cooking methods. With the iCombi Pro, you can choose from various cooking modes, and each rack programmed to bake at different temperatures. You can also pre-programme recipes for popular baked goods, making it easy to get consistent results every time.
3. Space Saving
Another benefit of using a combination oven is its space-saving design. The iCombi Pro takes up less space than a traditional oven and steamer, leaving more room in your kitchen for other equipment. This is especially important in small bakeries or patisseries where the area is at a premium.
4. Energy Efficient
The iCombi Pro does not only cook intelligently but also saves intelligently: It uses 18% less energy, reduces your cost of goods by up to 15% and requires more than 40% less working time, helping you save money on your energy bill and also reduce your carbon footprint.
5. Easy To Use
Finally, the iCombi Pro is incredibly easy to use. The touchscreen interface allows you to easily navigate through the oven's settings and pre-programmed recipes, making it easy to use even for novice bakers and leaving you time to sort other things in your bakery than keeping a constant eye on your baking croissants!
A combination oven is one of the best ovens for bakers due to the precise humidity control, energy efficiency, and the ability to use both convection and steam cooking methods! However, if you want to take your baking to the next level, there's no better choice than the RATIONAL iCombi Pro.
This cooking system is designed with innovative technology and pre-programmed functions to create the perfect environment for each baked good that comes from the kitchen. It also offers a high level of customisation, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance that make it a favourite among professional bakers.
