Combi-Oven Proposal By: Ellie, Kristin & Rachael
Combi-Oven Overview • Combination of convection oven and steam • Steams, bakes, grills, blanches, poaches, roasts, and dry fries (some models do this simultaneously)
Advantages • Adjustable humidity levels • Reduces shrinkage • Improved color and nutritional value • Cost savings • Consistent results
DISADVANTAGES • Higher initial cost than a standard convection oven • Higher maintenance costs • Lag time in conversion from convection to steam
PSA and Combi-Oven • Needed for steaming vegetables • Will cut down on Sous Vide packaging use • No access to ventilation (need the Combi-Oven hood)
The Bottom Line • Initial cost of Combi-Oven estimated at $12,000-$16,000 • Oven is expected to pay for itself within the first year of purchase • Oven will save hospital $16,000-$20,000 per year
