Vulcan Introduces Innovative Combi Oven for High Performance
Vulcan, a division of ITW Food Equipment Group and a best-in-class supplier of top-quality, energy efficient equipment, is pleased to introduce its new Chef’sCombi combi oven — an innovative addition to its highly-reputable product offering that is powerful, intuitive and customizable.
“We are thrilled to introduce the Chef’sCombi to the market. Vulcan developed our new combi oven with chefs in mind. We wanted to create an oven that’s customizable with unique features so chefs can have everything they need, and nothing they don’t for their operation. Price was a focus too. It’s important to us that Chef’sCombi is an affordable and profitable piece of equipment today and for years to come,” said Carine Wright, senior business development manager for combi ovens at Vulcan. “And because it was developed using ITW’s Customer-Back Innovation, chefs can be assured that they can easily produce consistent, high-quality results, followed by simple, effective and affordable cleaning.”
The Chef’sCombi features CombiOS — the new standard in combi operating systems, with a high-resolution 10″ touchscreen that is intuitive, responsive and adaptive, similar to the swipe, drag and tap features of a smartphone. CombiOS includes an easy-to-use, customizable interface with fast response to inputs that eliminates long start-up times. Users can control which features appear on the home, cooking and cleaning screens, and which are hidden — providing them with the simplicity and efficiency to streamline their operation.
Vulcan designed the Chef’sCombi with its patented CombiClimateControl technology, featuring powerful heating elements, multi-speed fan, advanced steam generator and industry-leading dehumidification. Plus, a true humidity sensor delivers precise humidity control for consistent cooking conditions, maximizing food yield with no guesswork. CombiClimateControl provides powerful heating for short heat-up times and rapid compensation of any temperature drop when fully loaded, or with frequent door openings during à la carte operation.

To ensure the Chef’sCombi stays in top condition, Vulcan integrated CombiCare for easy, safe and hygienic cleaning. With automatic soil detection, Chef’sCombi recommends the appropriate cleaning cycle and prevents the waste of resources, including water and electricity. Additionally, cleaning chemicals cost 10 to 15% less than other major combi brands, making cleaning Chef’sCombi not only easier, but also more affordable.
Other notable features include:
· AutoClimate – Automatic humidity adjustments based on a set temperature for optimum flavor and texture.
· CombiGuide – Guided automatic cooking, ensuring consistently delicious results, no matter who is at the controls.
· MenuMix – Smart technology that provides high-quality results from mixed loads.
The Chef’sCombi is available in gas or electric across the 6- and 10-level sizes, with a 20-level coming to market in 2026. The available combi ovens are stackable; and in the stacked configurations, the highest shelf stands at just 63 inches, ensuring accessibility for all chefs. Ventless options are also available.
As part of the ITW Food Equipment Group, the Vulcan Chef’sCombi is backed by the unmatched support of Hobart Service. Installation costs are comparable to the market leader. Users also have the availably to outfit entire kitchens from food prep to ware wash equipment from ITW Food Equipment Group brands like Hobart, Traulsen, Baxter and Berkel.
