What Is a Speed Cook Oven

Speed ovens combine convection, microwave, and grill cooking for something completely original—and as versatile as you would imagine. They’re smaller, more compact, and much faster than conventional ovens, and some even incorporate a toaster oven for a complete cooking experience.

What is the difference between a microwave oven and a speed oven?

Smaller in size and faster in cooking speed than a standard wall oven, a speed oven combines convection, microwave, and, in most cases, a grill element. Together these cooking technologies reduce cooking times significantly—and without the colorless, tasteless, and rubbery results of a microwave.

Do you need a speed oven?

You don’t absolutely need a speed oven. I have an Advantium, and I would say that 95% of the time I use it as a microwave oven. But it does come in handy when I want to make baked potatoes. The other time it’s useful is when we’re doing big dinners, like for Christmas and Thanksgiving and you need an extra over.
