Convotherm

Convotherm is the specialist combi steamer oven brand for production kitchens, hotels, hospitals, contract caterers and high-volume restaurants — covering the standard combi range from compact 6-tray countertop units through 10-, 20- and 40-tray floor-standing electric and gas models, plus the Flexx Pro multi-pan line that runs five independent cooking chambers for simultaneous service of different menu items without flavour transfer. Steam, convection, combination and smoker programs, ClosedCookingSystem moisture control, ConvoClean automatic wash and chef-friendly touchscreens — available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.

Production kitchens that have outgrown standalone ovens, steamers and tilting pans turn to Convotherm to consolidate three or four pieces of cooking equipment into one footprint. The standard catalogue covers compact 6.10 countertop combi steamers for café and gastropub kitchens, mid-size 10.10 and 10.20 floor units for hotels and restaurant production, and the workhorse CMAXX10.10 11-tray electric combi steamer oven for high-volume venues needing true 80-cover-per-batch capability. Above sit 20-tray roll-in trolley combis for banqueting and 40-tray cook-and-hold giants for hospital production. The Flexx Pro multi-pan line runs alongside — five independent pans, individually controlled, so one operator can run rice, vegetables, protein, sauce and dessert in parallel without cross-flavour.

Build quality reflects the duty cycle these machines are bought for. Cavities and exteriors are heavy-gauge stainless throughout with rounded internal corners that drain to a central scupper, doors use double-glazed thermally-broken glass with cool-touch handles, and full 180° door reversal clears pass-through-kitchen layouts. Steam generators run scale-resistant lime-protection cycles between bakes, and the ClosedCookingSystem keeps moisture inside the cavity rather than venting it — important when a kitchen runs proteins and pastries through the same oven across a service. Heavy-duty racking accepts 1/1 and 2/1 GN pans and slides cleanly when fully loaded.

Operationally, the chef-facing touchscreen is where Convotherm earns its premium. Pre-programmed cookbooks ship with proven recipes for roast, sous-vide, smoke, prove, regenerate and overnight cook-and-hold cycles — all editable and savable per venue. The ConvoClean automatic wash runs unsupervised overnight across five cycle intensities, reclaiming staff hours previously spent scrubbing cavities by hand. ACS+ active climate control modulates fan speed, steam injection and element output in real time so fish fillets on top and root vegetables underneath both finish on time. HACCP logs upload to kitchen management systems and remote diagnostics flag a failing element before it brings the machine down mid-service.

For Australian operators, Convotherm is specified into hotel groups, hospital food production, defence catering, contract caterers, in-flight kitchens and high-volume restaurants where combi reliability decides whether dinner service runs or fails. Commercial Kitchen Company stocks the standard combi line and Flexx Pro multi-pan units with nationwide delivery, can specify the right configuration (electric or gas, boiler or injection steam, single or stacked, freestanding or roll-in), and provides ready access to genuine spare parts — door gaskets, steam generator components, control boards, ConvoClean cartridges and rack assemblies — backed by Australian after-sales support. Whichever specification suits your operation, the right Convotherm unit is available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.
