Thermador Speed Ovens Review: Smarter and Faster Cooking in Style

Thermador Speed Oven Review

 

If you love the idea of gourmet meals in record time, Thermador’s speed oven may be exactly what your kitchen needs. By blending microwave technology with convection and broil capabilities, this appliance is designed for cooks who want both speed and precision, without sacrificing flavor or texture.

At Atherton Appliance & Kitchens, we’ve seen speed ovens grow in popularity for busy families, entertainers, and anyone looking to maximize kitchen space without compromising performance. Here’s what makes Thermador’s take on this appliance stand out.

 

What Is a Speed Oven?

A speed oven is a hybrid appliance that combines microwave cooking with convection baking and broiling. The result is a single unit that can reheat leftovers, bake cookies, or roast vegetables, all faster than traditional methods and with more even results than a basic microwave.

With Thermador’s speed oven, you get the flexibility of multiple appliances in one compact package, ideal for modern kitchens where space and time are precious.

 

Power and Versatility in One Compact Unit

Thermador’s speed oven is 30 inches wide and offers a 1.6 cubic foot capacity. That’s roomy enough for pasta dishes, pizzas, or casseroles, yet compact enough to fit seamlessly into most kitchen layouts.

This “Swiss Army knife” of appliances can:

  • Microwave with 10 power levels
  • Convection bake and convection broil
  • Use Speed Convection Broil for fast, crisp finishes
  • Keep dishes warm until you’re ready to serve

Whether you’re cooking weeknight dinners or prepping for guests, the Thermador speed oven handles it all in less time.

 

Cook Smart: Automatic Settings for Effortless Meals

One of Thermador’s most impressive features is Cook Smart, which removes the guesswork from cooking. Simply select the food type and weight, and the oven automatically sets the correct temperature, time, and cooking mode — no preheating required.

The step-by-step instructions on the built-in display make it approachable for beginners, while still giving seasoned home chefs confidence for more complex dishes.

Pre-Programmed Convenience

Thermador includes 36 auto programs designed for everyday needs, from reheating frozen foods to broiling or melting butter. There are even specialized microwave programs like beverage heating, auto defrost, softening ice cream, and — yes! — perfectly popped popcorn.

 

Combine Modes for Better Results

Unlike a standalone microwave or oven, the Thermador speed oven allows you to combine cooking modes for even faster and more flavorful results. For example, you can use convection baking with microwave assist to reduce cooking times while still achieving browning and crisping, something a microwave alone can’t do.

 

Extra Storage and Pairing Options

Many homeowners pair their Thermador speed oven with a warming drawer to keep dishes at the perfect temperature until serving. Prefer storage instead? A built-in storage drawer option provides space for baking sheets, pans, or other essentials, keeping your kitchen organized.

 

Two Distinct Design Styles

Thermador understands that performance is only half the equation — aesthetics matter too. The speed oven is available in two styles to complement your kitchen:

Masterpiece Series

  • Clean, modern design with touchscreen display
  • Brushed stainless steel handle
  • Fits both standard and flush installations
  • Exclusively available in stainless steel finish

Professional Series

  • Chef-inspired look with tactile knobs and bold handle design
  • Chrome standoffs add a professional touch
  • Also available in standard or flush installations

Both options are 30 inches wide with a drop-down door, ensuring a high-end, built-in look.

 

Why Choose a Thermador Speed Oven?

Thermador’s speed oven is more than just a time saver. It’s a multi-tasking workhorse that can serve as a microwave, second oven, or even your primary oven in compact kitchens like ADUs or condos.

Its combination of smart features, versatile cooking modes, and premium design makes it a worthy upgrade for anyone seeking both convenience and performance in a single appliance.
