Frequently Asked Questions What can I cook in the Speedcook Oven? What about my recipes? Anything that is cooked in a regular oven can be cooked in the TurboChef Speedcook oven. Cook settings for favorite recipes can be saved in the oven for quick and easy access whenever cooking one of the family favorites. There are certain foods that require low heat and slow cooking for best results. Is the lower oven a Speedcook oven also? No. The lower oven is a conventional/convection oven. Additionally, the lower oven can be used as a warming drawer or proofing oven. What is the temperature range of the oven? The upper oven cooks at 250°F to 500°F. The lower oven cooks at 100°F to 500°F. Is the oven self-cleaning? Yes. Both the upper and lower ovens are selfcleaning. Self-cleaning takes approximately 4 hours. You can not self-clean the top and bottom ovens at the same time. How long does the oven take to preheat? Preheat takes 8-14 minutes depending on the temperature selected. By default, the oven preheats to 350°F. What if moisture collects on control panel? Cooking foods with high moisture content may cause steam/moisture to collect on the control panel. This is normal and can be simply removed with a dry soft cloth. How much faster is the Speedcook Oven? Up to 15 TIMES FASTER than "conventional" cooking. Up to 5-8 TIMES FASTER than "convection" cooking. Some examples of cook times: • 12 lb. turkey in 42 minutes • A single baked potato in 6 minutes • 20 stalks of asparagus in 45 seconds • 6 chocolate soufflés in 3 minutes How does the Speedcook oven work? The Speedcook oven uses a patented Airspeed Technology to cook food up to 15 times faster than conventional cooking methods while retaining more moisture and locking in juices and flavor. What is Airspeed Technology? Airspeed Technology refers to how the air is circulated through the cook cavity. Unlike a convection oven, where air is circulated by a fan in the back of the oven, the TurboChef Speedcook oven, forces the air through "jet plates" located in the top and bottom of the oven, at varying speeds, to accelerate the cooking process while maintaining superior quality. How do I know what time and temperature to use for the Speedcook oven? The oven does all the work. The oven contains over 700 preprogrammed time and temperature settings that were developed by an experienced team of chefs, food scientists, and engineers who performed over 6,000 tests. Through the user interface, the oven guides the user through a series of selections: cooking mode (roast), food type (turkey), weight (12 lbs.). From the users selections, the oven can determine the proper cook time and temperature. Can I make adjustments to the preprogrammed settings? Yes. When the cook cycle is 80% complete, the user will have the opportunity to tell the oven how they would like it to proceed: Cook Less, Brown Less, Cook & Brown Less, Finished, or continue on without any changes. When the cook cycle is complete, the user again has the opportunity to tell the oven how to proceed: Cook More, Brown More, Cook & Brown More, or Finished. Once a cook setting has been perfected, it can be saved under the "Favorites" mode. This allows the user to quickly recall the exact cook settings the next time the item is cooked. Product Care 50
