I have posted about this company much to the consternation of their initial customers. Turbochef is basically a new technology of speed cooking. I was at a trade show 3 years ago when it was first launched. At that time, I was convinced that people would love this product.
Unfortunately, so did Turbochef. There seems to be a mentality amongst companies of sending products into the market and worrying about the problems later. It stems from the software industry where being first is critical. After all, software can be fixed via the internet. Stoves can not.
Almost 3 years later(actually August of last year), Turbochef has finally learned its lesson.
Looks interesting. Exactly HOW does the Turbochef cook food? How does it compare with the Avantium from GE? What went wrong with the earlier models and what has Turbochef done to fix its product??
ReplyDeleteGood Question...
ReplyDeleteTurbochef cooks by heat impingement or by blasting the food by air from the top and bottom at different intervals for different foods. Depending on the food it will also cook with low wattage microwave power as well
The advantium is somewhat similar as it cooks uses low wattage microwave with halogen bulbs as its heat source
Turbochef has fixed the problems after realizing early introduction is perhaps not the best course of action. Some of the fixes included software refinement, others include fit and finish details.
Kurt should be demonstrating the Turbochef on this Saturday if you want to see the unit in operation
