Roll-in combi ovens: The perfect solution for high-volume cooking
Discover the roll-in combi oven for professional kitchens: streamline high-volume cooking, reduce labor costs, and boost productivity. Perfect for chefs.
5 February 2024
The roll-in combi oven is designed to handle high-volume cooking in professional kitchens. The term “roll-in” refers to the trolley of the oven, which can be rolled into place inside the oven and left there throughout the cooking process for easy loading and unloading of large quantities at the same time. As a result, the roll-in combi oven can help to reduce labour costs and increase productivity.
The Invoq range offers two sizes of the roll-in model: 20-1/1 GN and 20-2/1 GN. Both are available as Invoq Combi with injection steam and Invoq Hybrid with injection and boiler steam.
An Invoq 20-1/1 GN can hold up to 20 pcs 1/1 GN trays. The Invoq 20-2/1 GN can hold up to 20 pcs 2/1 GN trays or 40 pcs 1/1 GN trays.
When efficiency and consistency matters
Roll-in combi ovens are especially useful in kitchens where large quantities of food need to be cooked quickly and consistently, such as canteens, hospitals, educational institutions, catering and restaurants.
The roll-in functionality enables quick loading of the entire oven, which reduces energy loss during the loading process compared to manual loading. This has a significant impact on the consistency of your products. You can also improve productivity by having multiple trolleys and working in flows: moving trolleys from freezer or refrigerator to combi oven, to blast chiller, to packing station.
The efficiency of the roll-in model can also be measured in the versatility that comes with combi oven cooking. It is possible to load the oven with many different types of food items, cooking them quickly at the same time and to a high standard. For example, you can save time by steaming vegetables like broccoli and carrots while steaming seafood like fish fillets and grains like quinoa – all simultaneously and without cross-contamination of flavours.
Adding to the efficiency are the many smart features such as SmartChef, temperature and humidity control, and automated cleaning systems, which for the Invoq oven is called CareCycle.
As such, the roll-in combi oven is ideal for streamlining kitchen operations with large productions improving both throughput and output.
