Viking Turbo Chef Oven

New Viking Turbo Chef oven now in production

We’ve written before about Viking’s Turbo Chef oven. It’s probably the first new technology in speed cooking for the home since the microwave oven. The air impingement technology is used widely in commercial applications by Viking’s parent company, Middleby. However, this will be its first *serious launch for home use by a full-line major appliance company.

The Viking Turbo Chef oven uses traditional radiant heating, combined with convection, microwave assist, and powerful Airspeed Technology™. Using patented jetplates on the top and bottom of the oven heated air is forced over the food at various speeds helping the food to cook up to 15 times faster than conventional ovens. How does that translate? Well, a 12 lb. turkey will cook in the Turbo Chef in only 42 minutes; 20 spears of asparagus in just 45 seconds.
