For one thing, there’s not preheating necessary … the oven starts cooking your food just as soon as you click the appropriate button on the digital control panel. And there’s no thawing necessary either - frozen steaks can go right from the freezer into the Infrawave speed oven and they’ll be grilled to perfection in less time than it would take broiling them in a conventional oven.

Cookies, for example, which normally take 13 minutes or so in a conventional oven (after the oven is preheated, no less) are generally baked to perfection in about 7 minutes (for most types of cookies). And they come out brown & crispy, just like they’re supposed to.
