High-speed ovens can perform the work of a griddle, oven and cheese melter, saving space and the cost of multiple pieces of equipment.
For operators looking for quick cooking of complicated menu items or reheating items fast and efficiently, these units offer an affordable solution.
Because each model is different due to manufacturer patents, staff may require training prior to use. Although these ovens resemble a microwave, they can be much more complex to operate.
Most high-speed ovens offer preprogramming, where operators can input specific recipes using either a USB drive or card with a chip. This not only creates consistency across multiple foodservice locations, but it also reduces the need for continuous staff training. These ovens can also be used to expand menus as well as simplify adding limited-time offers.
Although the majority offer ventless operation, there are high-speed ovens that require type 2 ventilation for odors.
Consultants recommend signing up for maintenance programs with these units since high-speed ovens use magnetrons that eventually need replacing.
High-volume operations with larger menus may require two high-speed ovens, which also ensures service continues during a breakdown.
