NBC TODAY: Speed and Style Invade the Kitchen
Cooks up to five times faster than a conventional oven without sacrificing food's taste, texture or appearance. This built-in oven combines flowing hot air like convection with microwaves to cook food 5 times faster than conventional ovens. For example, traditionally it takes 45 - 55 minutes for lasagna or 55 - 65 minutes for a blackberry cobbler to cook. With the Accellis that same lasagna can be ready in just 9 minutes, with perfectly browned cheese. The blackberry cobbler could be finished in a mere 11 minutes, with the same flaky crust one expects from a conventional oven. What's nice about these ovens, unlike traditional microwaves -- they don't sacrifice quality for speed -they cook the same way an oven would. It will set you back $3,500 but as with any new technology prices will drop soon. www.jennair.com
