GE introduces a kitchen hybrid

GE’s latest offering in the appliance section involves a next-level combination microwave/wall oven featuring GE’s most advanced cooking technology.

The Advantium Speedcooking Oven performs four functions in one: speedcook, European convection, microwave and warming/proofing. Additionally, it installs easily in kitchens that are already set up with a built-in microwave/wall oven set.

“By purchasing an appliance that already fits the cut-out of current kitchen cabinets, homeowners don’t have to totally reconfigure the kitchen layout which will save them money on the cost of a remodel,” said Paul Bristow, product manager for Built-in Cooking at GE Appliances. “With the built-in Advantium/wall oven combo, consumers can get all the latest features GE has to offer and a product that doesn’t cause installation stress.”



The Advantium speedcooking technology works by cooking food on the outside using radiant heat from halogen bulbs, plus an added boost of microwave energy. Food is thus cooked evenly and quickly without sapping its natural moisture.



Consumers can also customize their appliances. Combination variations include a microwave/thermal-oven combo, convection microwave/convection-oven combo and Advantium/convection-oven combo.
