Can I pop popcorn or heat water in the Speedcook oven?
Yes. To pop popcorn or heat water, use the Microwave mode (see page 19 for more details).
Can I reheat food in the oven?
Yes. There is a setting under the Bake mode of the Speedcook oven for reheating. Choose “Bake” as the Speedcook mode. Select “Prepared Foods/Entrées” followed by “Dinners/Entrées,” and “Refrigerated/Reheat.”
For the bottom oven (Double Wall model), simply put the food in the warm cook cavity and allow it to reheat.
Can I defrost in this oven?
Yes. To defrost a product, use the Defrost mode (see page 18 for more details).
Cooking Utensils:
Can I use my standard pots and pans with the oven?
Yes. You can use any pots and pans in the TurboChef oven that you would in a traditional oven.
Can I use foil in the oven?
It is not recommended to use foil in the Speedcook oven because foil can slow down the overall cook time and affect product quality. Additionally, foil can potentially harm the oven when cooking some food items or using the microwave mode. If you need to wrap a product for cooking, try parchment paper.
In the bottom oven (Double Wall model), it is fine to use foil. However, due to the concealed heating element in the bottom oven, do not to cover or line the bottom of the oven with foil.
What if my recipe says to cook food covered with foil and then remove the foil?
The cook settings in the Speedcook oven are designed so products do not overcook on the top like they might in a conventional oven, so foil is not necessary. If you are uneasy about not covering your product, you can use parchment paper. Parchment paper must be wrapped all the way around the product or held in place with toothpicks. Otherwise, the air jets will likely blow it off.
Can I have more than one rack in the oven?
The Speedcook oven is designed to use only one rack at a time. However, in the bottom oven of the Double Wall model, up to six racks can be used at once.
Cleaning the oven:
What is the best way to clean the outside of the oven? Is there anything that I should avoid?

What if I accidentally scratch the outside surface of the oven?
If the scratch is very shallow on the stainless steel, use a polishing compound to rub it out.
Oven sounds:
Can I change the volume or turn the sounds off completely?
Yes. For information on changing the volume, see page 20. For information on turning the individual sounds on or off, see page 22.
Do I have to address the oven the moment I hear a tone?
It is recommended that you check your food at both the 80% and 100% complete points to ensure it does not overcook. At the 80% complete point, the oven will continue cooking if it is not addressed after 30 seconds. At the 100% complete point, you will have 3 minutes before the oven assumes the product is done and returns to the main cooking menu. All other oven tones are not
