What has been your experience with Retigo combi oven?
It’s a complete game changer and my favourite piece of equipment in the kitchen. What I love about it is its versatility. It gives me complete control over temperature and humidity, which means I can produce high-quality food while maintaining flavour, texture and moisture. I still love cooking on the stove and using traditional methods, but if there was one piece of equipment I couldn’t be without, it would definitely be my Retigo combi oven. It’s an absolute game changer, and I genuinely love cooking with it.
What do you prepare in the combi oven?
Everything! It’s so versatile. Whether I’m roasting, steaming, baking or slow-cooking, it delivers consistent results every single time. My favourite dish to cook is my signature Butter Chicken. There’s no need for a traditional clay tandoori oven – my Retigo oven produces perfect, juicy and tender chicken every time.
What benefits does Retigo bring to your kitchen?
The Retigo combi ovens can handle large quantities of food which is essential for us. Being able to cook big batches at the same time certainly helps with kitchen efficiency. And the individual rack settings allow us to cook different food, in different ways, at the same time! This removes the need for multiple pieces of large (and expensive!) catering equipment which save space and improves kitchen flow.
What features and functions do you appreciate the most?
As someone who runs a busy restaurant, consistency is everything. The pre-programmed function of the Retigo combi oven allows me to save the cooking parameters for each recipe, meaning we can deliver consistently high standards to every customer, every service. It also makes the kitchen far more efficient.
