Commercial speed ovens.

What is a commercial speed oven?

A commercial speed oven combines microwave, convection, and sometimes steam cooking technologies to cook food quickly while maintaining high quality. Because it uses a variety of methods to cook food, a single speed oven has the versatility to produce food for an entire menu. 

How does a speed oven work? 

A speed oven works by combining multiple cooking methods — typically microwave, convection, and sometimes steam heating. The microwave heats food quickly from the inside, while the convection fan circulates hot air for even cooking and browning. Steam heating adds moisture to the cooking process, helping to preserve the texture and flavor of delicate foods, such as vegetables and fish. The combination of these methods significantly reduces cooking time while delivering results similar to traditional commercial ovens.  

Deliver quality food fast with high speed ovens.

Once you witness the power of commercial speed ovens to accelerate snack preparation and food regeneration, you’ll want to have one for your own kitchen. Any business that needs to serve a large number of guests in a short time will find a speed oven extremely useful.

Why are they so fast? Commercial speed ovens use a combination of microwaves and hot air to cook or regenerate food. Microwaves act directly on the water contained in the food, creating heat from within, while hot air acts on the surface of the food. The combination of these two elements shortens cooking times and makes regeneration times even quicker. Speed ovens’ main limitation is their lack of moisture management and self-cleaning functionality. This tends to confine the use of speed ovens to very simple cooking tasks that create minimal mess or for regenerating cooked food, sandwiches, and snacks.

Can a speed oven replace a regular oven in restaurants?

A speed oven can replace a regular oven for many tasks in restaurants, particularly when quick cooking or reheating is needed, and as a combi speed oven, SPEED-X is even more efficient and versatile than other speed ovens. But commercial combi ovens are still the best choice for large-scale baking, roasting, or when cooking in large quantities, as speed ovens typically have a smaller capacity and are designed for speed and versatility rather than high-volume production.
