Speed Ovens

Commercial Speed Ovens in Toronto & Canada

A speed oven combines microwave energy, convection heat, and high-velocity impingement air to cook made-to-order food in a fraction of the time a standard oven needs, making it a favorite for cafes, quick-service concepts, and any kitchen with limited space. TurboChef's lineup is the deepest in this collection, spanning its Touch Series (i1, i3, and i5) for compact countertop use plus dedicated single and double batch deck-style speed ovens built specifically for high-throughput pizza production. Unox's XASW-03HS Series and Midea's G1 Flashchef bring the same rapid-cook technology in a simpler, single-model format, while Vulcan's IBEX rounds out the lineup with its own rapid cook oven and a matching workstation cart. Whether you're running a quick-service cafe in Toronto, a hotel pantry in Mississauga, or a coffee shop right here in Vaughan, we ship speed ovens across the GTA — Richmond Hill and Markham included — and nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

How does a speed oven cook food so much faster than a standard oven?

Speed ovens use a combination of technologies working together instead of just one heat source. TurboChef's Touch Series and Unox's XASW-03HS blend microwave energy with convection heat and high-velocity impingement air, which cooks food from the inside and outside at the same time and cuts cook times to a fraction of what a standard oven needs. Midea's G1 Flashchef and Vulcan's IBEX use a similar rapid-cook approach, combining forced hot air with microwave assist. The trade-off is that speed ovens are built for smaller batches, one to a few items at a time, rather than the larger capacity of a full-size convection or combi oven, so they're best suited to made-to-order items like sandwiches, paninis, and single portions rather than high-volume batch cooking.

What's the difference between TurboChef's Touch Series and its deck-style speed ovens?

TurboChef's Touch Series speed ovens are compact countertop units built for made-to-order items, sandwiches, paninis, and single portions, with a digital touchscreen and programmable recipes for consistent results across staff. TurboChef's deck-style speed ovens are built specifically around high-speed pizza production, stacking in single or double batch configurations to cook multiple pizzas at once using the same rapid-cook technology. Both use the same core combination of convection, microwave, and impingement air; the difference is really about menu focus, an all-purpose countertop unit for varied made-to-order items versus a dedicated high-throughput pizza setup.

What can I cook in a speed oven besides pizza?

Speed ovens are built for far more than pizza. TurboChef, Unox, Midea, and Vulcan's speed ovens are commonly used for paninis and toasted sandwiches, reheating and finishing pre-cooked proteins, baking pastries and muffins, melting cheese on appetizers, and cooking individual portions of fish, chicken, or vegetables to order. Because they cook so much faster than a standard oven, they're popular in cafes, coffee shops, convenience stores, and any quick-service concept that needs restaurant-quality food without a full kitchen line. If your menu is built around made-to-order items rather than large batches, a speed oven can often replace several pieces of equipment in a small footprint.
