The Speedcook Oven Toast Bake bake toast Toasting browns and crisps foods. Using high heat and high-speed air, the Toast mode can enhance flavor and melt cheese. Traditionally, to bake is to cook with dry heat.

Operation Use Toast mode for foods like bread, bagels, tortillas, and pastries.
The Speedcook Oven Broil Dehydrate broil dehydrate The Broil mode on your Speedcook Oven will yield the same or superior results as broiling in a traditional oven. The only difference is that your food cooks faster due to the hot air moving through the cook cavity at increased speeds.

The Lower Oven The Lower Oven in the Double Oven model is both a conventional and convection oven that provides uniform cooking throughout in five cook modes. The Lower Oven also uses the touch screen control. In addition to these six modes, Warm and Proof Modes further expand the overall capabilities of the bottom oven.
