Abstract
A cooking appliance employing rapid cook technology includes a controller which automatically converts conventional cooking temperatures input by a user to rapid cooking temperatures. In accordance with the most preferred form of the invention, after a user enters a standard radiant cooking temperature into a control panel, an electronic controller subtracts a certain amount, preferably 25° F. (approximately 14° C.), off of the standard temperature. This reduced temperature is then shown in a display provided in the control panel. The controller will use this temperature as the actual cook temperature for the cycle. However, in order to assure food quality, this method is only employed in relatively short convection cooking cycles, such as a convection bake mode.
