A combi oven combines a convection oven and a steamer in one cabinet. It can cook with dry heat, steam or both at once, so one oven can roast prime rib, steam vegetables and fish, bake bread, proof dough, reheat banquet plates and hold moisture in chicken and pork. For many kitchens it replaces a convection oven, a steamer and part of the range.
Many Seattle owners start by looking for a used combi oven, and many found the original Encore Seattle that way when it sold used restaurant equipment. Today Encore Seattle sells only new Atosa equipment. A combi is the one oven where buying used is the riskiest, and this guide explains why, then covers sizing, power, water, installation and cleaning.
In this guide
| Your kitchen | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Small restaurant or cafe adding steam and roasting | AEC-0511E | 5 half sheet pans, 31" wide, the smallest footprint |
| Busy restaurant that needs more racks in the same footprint | AEC-0711E | 7 half sheet pans, same 31" x 34-1/2" footprint |
| High-volume restaurant or commissary on half sheets | AEC-1011E | 10 half sheet pans, still 31" wide |
| Bakery, hotel or caterer using full sheet pans | AEC-0621E | 6 full sheet pans or 12 hotel pans |
| Banquets, schools and large production | AEC-1021E | 10 full sheet pans or 20 hotel pans |
A combi oven mixes high heat, steam and hard water every day. That combination is tough on parts, and most of the damage is inside where you can't see it.
Most used combi ovens are sold as-is, with no service history. Every new Atosa combi oven on this page carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty.
| Cost | Used | New Atosa |

| Energy use | Often older, less efficient | ENERGY STAR on the AEC-0621E, AEC-0711E, AEC-1011E and AEC-1021E |
Count the pans you need at your busiest service, then add room to grow. Moving up in pans costs less than buying a second oven later.
