Miele Speed ovens vs toaster/convection ovens?
Comments (2)We installed a Miele Speedoven in 2012 and have no regrets. It is in a wall cabinet at counter height and is used all the time. It heats up very fast for baking allowing us not to use our 36" oven when not needed. It microwaves, bakes, and broils with all types of combinations of those heating choices. The drawbacks are the price and you need a 220v line to power it. The quality is excellent and have not seen another oven that can do what this does....See MoreConvection Microwave v Speed Oven?
Comments (9)There is a LOT of variation in speed ovens. Microwave/convection combos make you choose one mode or the other. Speed ovens use both together. That's the minimal differentiation. Some rather expensive ones only have a few combo settings and nothing else to offer, and really don't so speed cooking well. Speed cooking is where you get a fairly conventional result by combining modes for a much faster cook time. Some, like the Advantium, have an additional heating element/system. Some have broilers. The broilers aren't like the honking blazing infrared broilers in high end ovens, but they're adequate for top heat. :) The good ones all do speed. That's why the name and the price. It's not really worth the money if you just want a microwave that can pretend to be a toaster oven. I'm not an expert, but in my experience, the speed settings give you cooked food, but the regular oven/timing are better for the flavors to come together, etc. Speed is for slotting a freshly cooked dinner between after school and evening activities, and stuff like that. Speed has also saved me when something went awry and I still needed to get the food out on time. If speed isn't your purpose, it sounds like you've already picked out and had endorsed something that will suit your needs....See MoreReplace Microwave/toaster oven with speed oven/convection microwave?
Comments (22)So, make a niche(s) with the proper electric service and size to have a built-in put in if you really need it to sell (but I bet you won't)--if you're planning to sell within three years, get the built-ins already, but otherwise, they're going to be just so many used appliances. If yours are truly ratty, you can buy new versions of each. If you WANT a speed oven, and intend to use it as such, that's another story. Go for it! Read through the manuals, etc. But I think you'll find that it's not at all the same thing as your Breville toaster oven. You can use the convection oven settings on a speed oven to perform some of the same functions, but it's a real oven, with limitations, not a toaster that tap dances. I sometimes use my speed oven the way others use a toaster oven--mainly for heating up frozen appetizers or reheating casseroles when other ovens are full, but my old (dead) toaster oven was beloved for making great toast, which a speed oven isn't, and not for other uses. I do zap sandwiches on MW mode, and once in awhile lightly defrost or melt, but if I used a microwave more, I wouldn't have such an expensive machine doing it. I agree with putting enough thought into a remodel that it won't limit resale, because you never know what the future will bring--thus make sure there's place for built-ins to be built into--but unless it's a flip, it should be designed for your own use and enjoyment, and you used the key words "heavily use" and "love"....See MoreSamsung Chef Collection - Single oven v. speed oven/microwave combo?
Comments (0)Hi everyone, We are planning a kitchen remodel including a new slide in gas range, single wall oven, and microwave. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with the new Samsung Chef Collection appliances? We have an existing Samsung refrigerator we'd like it to match, plus I was wowed by the Flex Duo feature of the wall oven. A second question is if we should get the single wall oven with a separate, traditional microwave or if we should do the single wall oven and speed oven/micro combo unit. We have two small kids and use the microwave mostly for making popcorn and reheating food. We use our toaster oven almost daily to bake from frozen (like meatballs) or reheat things that I want to stay crisp (like leftover pizza). Does anyone have a recommendation or experience with the speed oven? Does it sound like that would be worth the extra money versus a traditional microwave and separate toaster oven? Thank you!...See Morenycbluedevil_gw
