New & Used Ovens For Sale

What is a commercial oven?

A commercial oven is a heavy-duty cooking appliance designed for professional use in kitchens, bakeries, and food service environments. Unlike domestic ovens, these units are built for frequent, high-volume cooking and often include features such as convection heating, programmable controls, multiple shelves or racks, and durable construction to withstand constant use.

Does a built-in oven need ventilation?

Most built-in commercial ovens include integrated ventilation or can be installed alongside an extraction hood. Proper ventilation removes heat, steam, and cooking odours, helping to maintain safe and comfortable air quality within the kitchen.

What is the lifespan of a commercial oven?

Commercial ovens typically last between 10 and 15 years, depending on the brand, build quality, and level of use. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance can help extend the lifespan and ensure consistent performance.

Why choose a commercial oven?

Designed for high-demand food preparation, commercial ovens support efficient workflows and consistent cooking results across a wide range of food service environments.

• Built for continuous use: Engineered to operate for long periods while maintaining stable temperatures.
• Consistent cooking results: Precise temperature control and even heat distribution support quality and repeatability.
• Higher capacity and output: Designed to handle larger volumes than domestic ovens.

Why buy a used commercial oven?

Investing in used commercial ovens offers several practical advantages for professional kitchens:

• Immediate availability: Used ovens are often ready for purchase and installation.
• Proven reliability: Many have already demonstrated durability in professional environments.
