At Foodexpo in Herning, HOUNÖ introduces the new Invoq Essence – a professional combi oven that combines the essentials with premium technology and can be upgraded as the business evolves.
Built on the same platform as the rest of the Invoq series, Invoq Essence brings together intuitive operation, consistent results, and high food safety. The 7” touchscreen makes the oven easy to use, while the core cooking modes – convection, steam, and combi – are controlled by intelligent sensors that ensure stable quality on every rack.
Invoq Essence is available in three models:
6 x 1/1 GN – ideal for smaller kitchens and cafés
10 x 1/1 GN – for mid-sized operations requiring additional capacity
20 x 1/1 GN roll-in – designed for large kitchens, canteens, and central production
Across all models, you’ll find efficient air circulation, injection steam, fast preheating, and a robust stainless steel oven chamber with rounded corners for easier cleaning.
Invoq Essence is designed for professional environments with a strong focus on safety and operational reliability. The oven features a triple-glazed cool-touch door, fan brake, overheat protection, and IPX5 rating. The integrated CareCycle cleaning system makes daily maintenance simple and efficient.
What truly sets Invoq Essence apart is the option to add upgrade packages. Kitchens can start with the essentials and later expand functionality within areas such as precision cooking, climate control, automation, connectivity, and advanced cleaning.
In short: a professional combi oven that adapts to your menu, workflow, and business.
With Invoq Essence, HOUNÖ makes premium performance more accessible — ready for today’s needs and prepared for tomorrow’s demands. Discover the new model at Foodexpo in Herning.
