Merrychef e1s Speed Oven

Specifications from the Moffat Australia Merrychef e1s spec sheet (PDF download).

The Merrychef e1s is a compact speed oven that plugs into a standard 15A 240V power point and needs no hood. It cooks with tuned impingement, microwave and convection heat in a 305 x 305mm cavity that takes a 12 inch plate, stores 1,024 multi-stage programs, and sits on a 500mm deep bench at 407mm wide. Merrychef is a UK brand, distributed and serviced in Australia by Moffat.

Best for: cafes, sandwich bars, clubs, pubs and hotels doing low to medium volume, where there is no three phase, no hood and not much bench.

Merrychef e1s overview

Speed ovens that combine impingement and microwave cook 10 to 20 times faster than a conventional oven, and the e1s is the entry point to the Merrychef eikon range. It runs on a single 15A plug, so there is no electrical upgrade, and the built-in catalytic converter means it can go on any bench without a hood.

If you want Wi-Fi menu updates and a bigger screen in the same footprint, step up to the Merrychef ConneX 12 E. For more power on a 15A plug, look at the ConneX 12 SP.

How the Merrychef e1s cooks

The convection fan pulls air in through the back of the cavity, heats it and sends it back through the catalytic converters and the impinger plate. That gives an even heat pattern over the food for a crisp, golden finish. Microwave runs at the same time from 5 to 100% in 1% steps, so the food heats through while the top browns.

The catalytic converter also cleans the air before it leaves the oven, which is why no hood is needed. The exterior stays cool to touch, so the sides and back can go hard against a wall.

Which 15A speed oven do I need?

All three plug into a 15A power point and need no hood. The difference is cavity size, controls and connectivity.

Need more power on a single phase supply? The Lincat CiBO+ Boosted runs on a 20A plug.

Simple to use

The e1s uses Merrychef's easyTouch screen. Staff press a picture of the food and the oven runs the program. Each program can have up to six stages, each with its own time, microwave power and instruction for the operator. Menus load by USB, and automatic on and off timers mean the oven is hot before opening.
