Contender 181L 6 Grid Combi Convection Oven with Steam – High-Volume Professional Cooking
In stock
Exclusive to ECatering
Product Information
This Contender 181 litre combi convection oven adds genuine steam and humidity control to everyday convection cooking, making it well suited to kitchens that need both robust daily baking and more delicate work from a single unit. With space for 6 x 1/1 GN pans, rear fan assisted convection circulates heat evenly throughout the cavity for consistent results with no cold spots, while the humidity control and steam function give the versatility to bake delicate items that a dry convection oven alone can't handle.
Features
Steam and Humidity Control: adds moisture for delicate baking alongside standard dry convection cooking
Rear Fan Assisted Convection: circulates heat evenly throughout the cavity, with no cold spots
6 x 1/1 GN Capacity: generous gastronorm space for high-volume batch cooking
Adjustable Thermostat: up to 240°C for precise temperature control
Digital Timer: adjustable for controlled cook times
Dedicated Indicator Lights: power on, temperature, steam and humidity control shown separately
Stand Compatible: pairs with the Contender Convection Oven Stand with 3 x 1/1 GN Storage Shelves (OVS025), sold separately
The genuine combi/steam function and larger 6-grid capacity put this a step up from the 112L unit, so it suits higher-volume or more technique-varied kitchens: hotel and contract catering kitchens running mixed menus, bakeries and patisseries needing steam injection for bread and pastry work, hospital and care home kitchens doing large-batch combi cooking, schools with sizeable meal production, and restaurants wanting both roasting and delicate steam baking from one oven. It's overkill for a simple secondary bake-off role.
