Experience the Power of Speed Cooking with Kolb Atoll Speed Easy

When it comes to professional kitchen equipment, speed and efficiency are key. That’s where the Kolb Atoll Speed Easy comes in. This high-speed oven, often referred to as an accelerated cooking machine, is a compact yet powerful addition to any kitchen.

What Makes High-Speed Ovens Stand Out?

High-speed ovens combine multiple cooking methods to deliver meals much faster than traditional convection ovens or grills. They are ideal for quick service sites, ensuring the desired finish at ultra-fast speeds, without compromising taste or texture.

The Magic of Microwave Cooking

Almost every high-speed oven, including the Kolb Atoll Speed Easy, features microwave technology. This method is fast and efficient, cooking food quickly and safely. In high-speed ovens, the microwave energy is evenly distributed throughout the cavity, eliminating the chance of cold spots in the food.

The Crispness of Convection Cooking

Microwaving alone doesn’t always achieve the perfect finish. That’s why high-speed ovens like the Kolb Atoll Speed Easy also incorporate convection cooking. This ensures crispy bases and browned toppings that are impossible with microwaving alone. Note that convection cooking means a high-speed oven requires preheating before use.

The Efficiency of Impingement Cooking

Impingement, or forced air cooking, is one of the latest additions to rapid cooking technology. Jets of superheated air are fired directly onto the product, speeding up the cooking process and giving an attractive just-grilled look. This method is ideal for melting or browning toppings on dishes like lasagne or pizza.

What to Look For in a High-Speed Oven

Choosing the right high-speed oven goes beyond just the type of oven. There are several features that can significantly impact your day-to-day service.

Power

The more powerful a high-speed oven is, the faster it cooks. Each cooking category (i.e., microwave/convection) will have a different power rating. Choose a model that suits your menu and customer demand. Power ratings usually range between 1-3kW for each category.

Capacity

If you’re only cooking smaller items, a compact, small-capacity oven could be preferable to save space. Conversely, a large oven gives you the flexibility to batch cook food or offer wider pizzas. As most high-speed ovens are countertop, make sure to measure your counter space before purchase.

Specific Design

Some high-speed ovens are specifically designed for a particular dish. For example, the Turbochef Fire has a wide door like a traditional pizza oven, but it’s actually a powerful high-speed oven that can cook a 14” pizza in 90 seconds.

Power Type

Rapid cook ovens can often take quite a lot of power to operate. The more powerful the unit is, the more likely it’ll need hardwiring into a mains electricity connection. If it needs hardwiring, you may need a specialist catering equipment electrician to install the unit. Look for the power type to make sure the unit is suitable.

Venting

Food grease and smoke can build up quickly in a rapid cook oven. However, many models come with a built-in catalytic converter, so you can position the unit without having to worry about overhead extraction. This functionality is usually called vent-free. Units without this technology will require the usual overhead extraction canopy.

Door

The door can make a big difference during a service. Many rapid cook ovens have drop-down doors for quick and easy access to the interior. Others might have side-opening doors, which could be preferable if the unit is stacked or positioned at eye level.

Controls/Programming

Almost every accelerated cooking machine can be programmed. Whether it’s via USB stick, Wi-Fi, or a simple push-button control panel, you can adjust cooking cycles to achieve great results. One of the great benefits of cooking by program is that it’s easy to learn and significantly reduces staff training times.

Businesses with multiple sites can also really benefit from this functionality. Food can be cooked consistently on every site, and it’s incredibly fast to upload the latest additions to your menu.

In conclusion, when choosing a high-speed oven like the Kolb Atoll Speed Easy, consider all these factors to ensure you get the best fit for your business needs.
