A method for operating an oven including a microcomputer includes receiving in a microprocessor of an oven, a plurality of inputs from a user indicative of a conventional cooking time, a conventional cooking temperature, and a food category, wherein the oven includes an RF generation module, an upper heater module, a lower heater module, and a convection fan, and converting at least one of the conventional cooking time to a speedcooking time different than the conventional cooking time, and the conventional cooking temperature to a speedcooking temperature.

Methods and apparatus for operating a speedcooking oven

A multirack speedcook oven includes a cooking cavity, a plurality of racks within the cooking cavity, an RF generation module operationally coupled to the cooking cavity and configured to deliver microwave energy into the cooking cavity, at least one heat source positioned within the cavity and configured to supply heat energy to the cooking cavity, and a control configured to accept data regarding said plurality of racks, the control operationally coupled to the RF generation module, and the at least one heat source for selective control thereof based on the accepted data.

Multirack cooking in speedcook ovens

An oven includes an oven cavity, at least one heat source disposed in the cavity; and only one reversible fan disposed in the cavity, the fan is configured to change an airflow pattern in the cavity by reversing a direction of rotation.

Oven and methods for operating same

A self-cleaning oven includes a cooking chamber, a first heating element inside the cooking chamber, and a second heating element inside the cooking chamber. The first and second heating elements are configured to be energized simultaneously during a first stage of a self-cleaning operation of the oven.

Self-cleaning systems and methods

An oven includes an oven cavity, at least one heat source disposed in the cavity, and an oven controller operationally coupled to the heat source. The oven controller is configured to accept data regarding a number of racks and control the at least one heat source based upon the accepted data.
