High speed microwave ovens iPronti are professional appliances combining microwave energy, convection heating and high-velocity impingement airflow. The combination of these heating technologies significantly reduces cooking times while allowing food to develop a browned and crispy surface that microwave heating alone cannot achieve.
iPronti ovens are suitable for the rapid preparation of individual portions such as panini, sandwiches, pizza, snacks and other dishes. Depending on the model, they offer automatic cooking programmes, storage of custom recipes and programmable cooking sequences. The range is complemented by accessories designed for different cooking applications.
High speed technology combines several heating methods in a single appliance. Microwave energy accelerates the heating of food, convection uses circulating hot air, and the impingement system directs high-velocity hot air onto the food surface. This significantly reduces cooking times while still allowing food to be toasted, browned and finished with a crispy surface.
On models equipped with High Speed Oven and Combi Wave modes, the individual technologies can be used in different ways. High Speed Oven mode simultaneously uses convection, microwave energy and impingement, while Combi Wave allows convection, microwave heating or a combination of both to be selected according to the food being prepared.
Selected iPronti ovens feature FCS – Fast Cooking System and MCS – Microwave Cooking System automatic cooking systems. Operators can use predefined recipes or create and store custom programmes with individual cooking steps. Touchscreen controls provide quick access to stored programmes and allow frequently used recipes to be started easily.
On current models, Wi-Fi and USB connectivity together with the Nabook Plus platform further extend the capabilities of the appliance. Supported functions include access to a recipe database, synchronisation of multiple ovens, recipe transfer, HACCP monitoring, software updates and remote diagnostics.
Selected models use an integrated catalytic system to reduce steam, odours and grease residues generated during cooking. Their construction allows operation without a conventional external extraction system, subject to the manufacturer's installation requirements and applicable local regulations.
Removable components inside the cooking chamber simplify maintenance. Current models can be equipped with the OWB – Oracle Washable Box, a removable and washable inner box. A removable smooth cooking plate also supports browning and toasting of bread, pizza and other foods.
With high speed ovens, the correct accessories also influence heat transfer and the final cooking result. Cooking plates, containers and other accessories can be selected according to the type of food and the desired result, from browning and toasting to applications where direct contact with the cooking surface needs to be limited.
iPronti high speed ovens therefore represent a distinct technology between conventional convection ovens and professional microwave ovens. The combination of multiple heating methods allows a wide variety of dishes to be prepared in a short time, with stored recipes and cooking programmes available according to the specific model and equipment configuration.
