Gas convection oven Inoxtrend PPDA111G

A gas convection oven moves hot air around the chamber with a powerful fan, spreading heat evenly across every tray. This method cooks food faster and more uniformly than static heat, while the fan's speed and direction can be adjusted to suit different dishes. The addition of steam injection introduces moisture into the chamber, preventing drying and helping to create a crisp exterior with a juicy interior. Combining convection and steam in a single unit allows operators to switch between roasting, baking and gentle steaming without changing equipment, saving space and time in a busy kitchen.

The PPDA 111G starts with the gas burner igniting beneath the chamber, heating the air that the fan then circulates. Once the set temperature is reached, the oven holds it steadily, compensating for the cool air that enters when the door is opened. The operator loads up to eleven full-size gastronorm trays, selects one of three cooking modes—convection, steam or combi—and sets the temperature between 30 and 270 °C. Humidity control adjusts the microclimate inside the chamber, ensuring consistent results across every tray. When the timer signals the end of the cycle, the trays are removed and the oven is ready for the next batch.

Built from stainless steel, the unit resists corrosion and stands up to daily cleaning. The 800 mm width fits standard worktop depths, while the 1060 mm height allows stacking beneath overhead cupboards. A small electric element powers the controls and fan, requiring a 230 V single-phase supply, while the 16 kW gas load heats the chamber quickly and economically. The 67 mm spacing between trays accommodates large roasts or stacked containers without crowding.

Mechanical knobs set temperature, time and cooking mode, giving immediate feedback and eliminating the need for digital programming. The fan's automatic reverse function prevents hot spots and ensures even browning on every tray. Steam injection is controlled separately, allowing the operator to add moisture at any point during the cycle.

The 11 GN 1/1 capacity lets the kitchen handle multiple dishes simultaneously, reducing batch times during service. The 16 kW gas input provides rapid heat-up, while the 0.5 kW electric draw keeps the supply simple and cost-effective. A temperature range from 30 to 270 °C covers everything from gentle proofing to high-heat roasting. The 800 mm width and 780 mm depth fit standard kitchen layouts, while the 1060 mm height allows installation beneath extractor hoods or shelves.

Daily cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel interior and exterior with a damp cloth, while the steam injection system flushes out residue without manual scrubbing. The fan's reverse cycle helps dislodge food particles, and the smooth surfaces prevent grease build-up. The mechanical controls are easy to wipe down, and the durable construction resists dents and scratches from frequent use.

The PPDA 111G is part of Inoxtrend's PROEVO+ series, designed for professional kitchens requiring a gas-powered convection oven with steam and combi functionality.
