Combination Ovens
Although relatively new to this country, combination steamer/ovens have been a mainstay of Europe cooking for years. The unit actually operates as three units in one: a convection oven, a convection steamer, and a combination of the two. The result is a versatile piece of equipment capable of a multitude of functions within a single space. Food does not dehydrate as in conventional deck ovens or convection ovens, resulting in higher meat yields. The combination of steam and convected heat results in better heat transfer than conventional ovens, cooking food more quickly.
In addition, the combination oven can proof can hold dough slow cook and hold meats, defrost, reheat, broil or grill. Combination ovens are available in a variety of sizes, from small counter models to large roll-in units.

Several electric units incorporate boiler free technology, which utilizes a single burner technology while eliminating time consuming maintenance and service. Plus, the countertop Combi-therm is the only combi oven on the market featuring our patented smoking feature.

WHAT IS A COMBI/OVEN STEAMER?
You can easily perform every cooking function and maximize results in our high quality Combination-Oven/Steamers. A Combi Oven is a unique style of convection oven that steams, poaches, roasts, broils, bakes and rethermalizes. You can combine three great modes of cooking in one oven - steam, hot air, and a combination of both.
THREE GREAT COOKING MODES: ONE GREAT OVEN
- STEAM MODE - Gentle Pressureless Steam
Cooks quickly and safely in closed, insulated cooking chamber. The Combi-Oven/Steamer eliminates dangerous stockpots boiling on the stove. Plus there's no flavor transfer. The Blodgett Synergy Series Combi features Vario Steam for poaching.- HOT AIR MODE - Gentle Circulated Hot Air
Provides uniform temperatures throughout the cooking chamber, assuring even browning on baked goods and faster cooking times as moving air speeds heat transfer to food.- COMBI MODE - Combination of Steam and Hot Air
By combining both the steam and hot air modes, the Combi mode cooks up to 50% faster than convection ovens while maintaining the food's essential moisture. The Combi mode eliminates the need for basting roasts, reduces shrinkage while giving perfect browning and is ideal for baking hard crusted breads. Combi is perfect for rethermalization (reheat) at 275°F / 135°C.Blodgett Combi Electric Oven/Steamers are available in our latest BCX Series and the original COS Series.
