Common Questions About Southbend Convection Ovens

Should I choose a gas or electric Southbend convection oven?

While some chefs insist on natural gas to power kitchen equipment, there is little functional difference between a Southbend electric convection oven and its gas-powered counterparts. Food within a convection oven is cooked by hot air rather than contact with the actual heating element, so you can choose a Southbend gas convection oven or an electric option depending on the most cost-effective utility at your location.

Propane-powered convection ovens are necessary for some uses because propane tanks are portable, while gas and electricity are more difficult to provide in mobile settings. Food trucks, caterers, and concession stands may need a liquid propane model to provide convection cooking at locations without access natural gas or electricity. Liquid propane is generally more expensive than other options, and is typically most beneficial for mobile operators.

Should I get a Southbend double-stack convection oven?

Double-stack ovens are two regular Southbend convection ovens stacked on top of one another. This arrangement gives operators exceptional control, as the two ovens can be set to different temperatures, fan speeds, and times, without increasing the footprint. By designing the ovens to be stacked, Southbend can offer twice the power without taking up more horizontal room, saving that space for other equipment.

How is a combi oven different from a convection oven?

Combi ovens are convection ovens with a steaming capability. These can be used as traditional convection ovens, steamers, or both, which is a powerful option in cramped cooking quarters. If your operation offers a wide menu, a Southbend combi oven can help provide that variety quickly without purchasing multiple pieces of cooking equipment.
