Rapid Cook Ovens Buying Guide

Imagine cooking a pizza in less than 4 minutes. Or maybe a quesadilla in 60 seconds. When time is of the essence and quality is key, a rapid cook oven will be a welcome addition to your busy commercial kitchen. Rapid cook ovens combine several cooking technologies into one effective unit, so whether you're preparing jalapeno poppers and chicken wings at your trendy sports bar or toasting sandwiches to crisp, crunchy perfection at your specialty sandwich shop, a rapid cook oven will get things done in a shorter amount of time while taking up less space than a traditional oven!

Features and Benefits

Advances in cooking technology have allowed manufacturers to combine several cooking methods, including microwave, convection, and air impingement cooking, into a revolutionary piece of equipment called a rapid cook oven! The main advantage of these units is that they are able to greatly speed up the cooking process and deliver levels of quality that previously could only be achieved using a conventional convection or combi oven. Plus, because many high speed cooking models come with a catalytic converter system that captures steam, grease, and smoke, they may be used without a hood or in kitchens that don't have space for a traditional oven. These convenient pieces of equipment add great versatility to menus at busy mall kiosks, bars, nightclubs, shops, and other small establishments. Take a look at the section below to see how quickly common foods can be cooked in a rapid cook oven!

Cooking Times for Common Foods

Food Type Cook Time Food Type Cook Time
Less than 3 minutes and 30 seconds 1 minute
Less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds 6 minutes and 30 seconds
Less than 30 seconds 2 minutes and 30 seconds
