In today’s fast-paced world, customers demand quick service without sacrificing quality. The food service industry has responded by developing high-speed cooking solutions that are faster than conventional ovens and microwaves, while still delivering excellent cooking quality. Electrolux Professional has gone even further, introducing its high-speed line, which boasts the benefits of both microwaves or traditional ovens into a single, versatile cooking appliance. In this article, we will explore the differences between commercial high-speed solutions, and why an Electrolux Professional high-speed oven will most certainly be the best choice for your commercial kitchen.
Is a speed oven the same as a microwave?
While both the High Speed Oven and the microwave are designed to cook food quickly, they are not the same type of appliance, as they use different technologies to do so. Microwaves use electromagnetic radiation to heat food, which causes the water molecules in the food to vibrate and create heat. High Speed Ovens, on the other hand, use a combination of microwave, convection, and hot air impingement to cook food quickly and evenly.
How does a commercial microwave oven work?
A commercial microwave oven uses electromagnetic radiation, which causes the water molecules in the food to vibrate and create heat. This heat is then transferred to the rest of the food, cooking it quickly and efficiently. While microwaves are a fast and convenient way to cook food, they have some limitations. For example, microwaves can cause food to become dry or rubbery, and they cannot brown or crisp food like an oven can.
Microwave cooking should be used as it is more energy efficient than conventional cooking because foods cook faster and the energy heats only the food, not the whole oven compartment.
What is the difference between a commercial High Speed Oven (or rapid-cook oven) and a microwave?
The main difference between a commercial High Speed Oven and a microwave is the heating methods used . High Speed Ovens use a combination of microwave, convection and hot air impingement to cook food quickly and evenly, while microwaves only use electromagnetic radiation. This means that High Speed Ovens can cook a wider variety of foods than microwaves, including baked goods, meats, and vegetables. High Speed Ovens can also brown and crisp food like a conventional oven, giving you more options for creating delicious dishes.
Another advantage of High Speed Ovens is their speed. While microwaves are fast, High Speed Ovens are even faster, with some models able to cook food in as little as 60 seconds. This makes them ideal for busy commercial kitchens where productivity and efficiency are critical.
Finally, High Speed Ovens are more versatile than microwaves. They can be used for a wide variety of cooking tasks, including baking, roasting, toasting, and grilling. This means that you can use a High Speed Oven for more than just reheating leftovers or cooking frozen dinners.
