Speed Bake TM Cooking System (Model B Only)
Speed Bake TM Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly and
continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with
Speed Bake
TM Cooking System are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Speed Bake TM Cooking System
cooks most foods faster and more evenly than conventional baking.
Benefits of Speed Bake TM Cooking System
- Foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
- Two racks can be used with more even cooking and browning.
- No special pans or bakeware needed; but for most bakery pan without sides have better results.
