CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction

Welcome to High-Performance Gourmet. The TurboChef 30˝ Double and Single Wall Speed-

cook Ovens use patented Airspeed TechnologyTM to cook food of exceptional quality up to 15

times faster than conventional ovens.

1

As you familiarize yourself with this new technology and its
advantages, you may have questions. Many of your initial questions
will be answered in your rst cooking experience or in the next few
paragraphs; however, you can also reference pages 33-36 for
answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

When using your Speedcook oven, the traditional temperature
dial has been replaced with the CookWheelTM and Cook NavigatorTM
that form the basis of the oven’s easy-to-use interface. Instead of
specifying time and temperature, simply select an item and its
specications. Based upon your selections, the oven automatically
calibrates the optimal cook time and temperature to ensure the
best possible result. If desired, the oven can be used as a standard
convection oven (time and temperature specied); see page 18 for
more information.

The preprogrammed cook settings, developed through extensive
testing by a team of professional chefs, yield high quality results in
a fraction of the time. As you become familiar with these results,
you may wish to make certain adjustments to account for your
personal taste and preference. The ability to make and save these
adjustments for easy access and quick recall is one of the many
features of the TurboChef oven that enhance and simplify your
cooking experience. With every recipe you “Save to Favorites,” the
oven becomes more synchronized with your needs.

You will quickly realize that cooking with your TurboChef
Speedcook Oven is very similar to using a regular oven. All of the
same basic principles of cooking still apply.

There are, however, a few cooking tips to remember when using
your Speedcook Oven:

• Warmer products take less time to cook than cooler ones.

• Thicker and/or dense products take longer to cook than thinner

and/or less-dense ones.

• Products cooked in metal containers will brown more on the

bottom than those cooked in glass or silicone, while food in glass
containers will cook a little faster.

• Smaller pieces of food cook faster than larger ones. For example:

when cooking chicken wings, the ats will generally cook faster
than the drumsticks.

• Different brands and recipes for the same product may or may

not cook in the same amount of time, depending on ingredients,
amounts, etc.

Because your food will cook faster and be ready sooner, you may be
required to adjust the overall timing of your meal. If you own a
TurboChef 30˝ Double Wall Speedcook Oven, consider using the
bottom oven as a warming drawer to hold your food while you stage
your meal or prepare other items. The lower oven is a high-end
convection oven that delivers exceptional results and includes
functions such as proong and Sabbath Mode.

If you need additional assistance, please call Customer Service at

866.44serve.

Welcome to your TurboChef 30˝ Speedcook Oven – an amazing
oven for the heart of your home. Enjoy.

The Speedcook Oven

Cook Modes – Speedcook Oven

Single Wall Oven & Top Oven in the Double Wall Model

Your Speedcook oven features seven Speedcook modes – Air-Crisp, Bake, Broil, Dehydrate, Roast, Toast,
and Favorites – that enable you to cook a wide variety of foods. Three of these modes – Bake, Roast, and
Broil – are traditional settings while the other four – Air-Crisp, Dehydrate, Toast, and Favorites – are new
cook modes designed to expand and enhance your cooking experience.

3

TRADITIONAL MODES

BAKE: Traditionally, to bake is to cook with dry heat. Hot air from

the top and bottom of the oven envelops the food in a radiant dry
heat, which combines with a little moisture from the food to
become a circulating vapor in the oven.

In the TurboChef Speedcook Oven, the traditional explanation
of baking remains the same. However, the hot air is moved through
the cook cavity at higher speeds than in a traditional oven. It is this
rapid movement of air that decreases cook times while ensuring
foods bake evenly and retain more moisture.

When in the Bake mode, keep in mind that metal cookware will
provide more bottom browning while items in glass cookware will
tend to cook a little faster. Pizzas can be baked on a pizza pan or
placed directly on the oven rack. Some casseroles may need to be
covered with parchment paper to prevent over-browning.

BROIL: Broiling directly exposes food to radiant heat (as over

a re or on top of a grill). The heat is direct and intense, and it
differs from baking or roasting in that only one side of the food is
exposed to the heat source. Foods that are typically broiled are
quick cooking, inherently tender, relatively lean, and not too thick.

The Broil mode on your TurboChef Speedcook Oven will yield
the same or superior results as broiling in any traditional oven. The
only difference is that your food cooks faster due to the hot air
moving through the cook cavity at increased speeds.

ROAST: Roasting and baking are similar in concept, but roasting is

used mostly for meats and vegetables. In the top oven, a combina­tion of low and high speed air is used to brown the outside of food
while retaining moisture inside.

Roasting pans (without lids), glass casserole dishes (with or
without lids), and sheet pans all work well with this mode. Shallow
pans will allow food to brown more. An uncovered pan without
liquids will help keep the heat dry and allow foods to brown and
crisp. Setting meats and poultry directly on a rack in a pan keeps
them from steaming in their own juices.

NEW COOK MODES

AIR-CRISP: Think of Air-Crisp cooking as air-frying. This mode is

great for foods that traditionally taste best when fried – like french
fries – as well as items that contain any sort of breading or stufng
that should toast and brown in the cooking process, like stuffed
mushrooms.

In this mode, high temperature air moves through the cook cavity
at varying speeds to brown and crisp the food product. Food comes
out with a nice caramelization and is lower in fat content than if it
had been deep fried.

DEHYDRATE: Considered the original form of preservation,

dehydrating food removes the product’s natural moisture by slowly
drying it with a low heat. Manually, food can be dehydrated by
placing thin slices on racks and allowing them to dry, assisted only
by sun or air. To shorten the dehydrating process, the TurboChef
oven utilizes low temperature air moving at higher speeds.

This mode is ideal for products like banana chips and other
dried fruits, as well as dried meats, like beef jerky. Sheet pans,
Teon® screens, and pizza pans (with or without holes)
are all recommended for use with this mode.

TOAST: Toasting browns and crisps foods like bread, bagels, and

tortillas. Using high heat and high-speed air, the Toast Mode can
enhance avor and melt cheese.

For best results, place food directly on the oven rack. For products
like lled pastries that may run over, use a metal sheet pan.

Preprogrammed settings and an easy-to-use interface allow you to cook any dish. For a complete list of
preprogrammed settings, see the “Preprogrammed Cook Settings” document, included with your oven.

NOTE: When your Speedcook oven is initially turned on after installation, the oven will load the software. This process should take no

longer than 10 minutes; do not attempt to operate the oven while the software is loading.

The Cook Navigator Display will illuminate and the oven will begin its initial warming process.

If unsure of which mode to select, consult the “Preprogrammed Cook Settings” document, included with your oven. If your specic food
item is not listed in this document, select a preprogrammed setting for a food item that closely resembles the one you wish to cook. At the
80% and 100% complete points, you will have the ability to check your item and make any necessary adjustments.
