I do remember in the mid 60's Westinghouse introduced the "No turn speed broil" that used triple pass electric elements above and below the food to broil steak in half the time. Can't imagine the mess to clean of that afterwards! | ||

GE made them, John loves them He has a bunch of them hooked up in the museum kitchen, I wouldn't trade all of them ever made for the little old Hotpoint with fold down units he had!It would take a math major to figure out how much time to bake anything. | ||

I had a SIEMENS Oven in the 1980s with that feature - the Microwave was only 600 Watts (wir mussten damals Mikrowellengeräten mit mehr als 600 Watt bei der Post registrieren, ja wirklich)
It worked very well and was quite a speedy little convection oven. Also had a self-cleaning feature, not just that useless 'continuous clean' trash which never worked. | ||

GE Advantium, Whirlpool Velos . . .
. . . and other halogen/microwave/convection speedcook ovens still exist but they haven't caught on as predicted when the technology was first announced. They're still expensive and you have to dig deep at each appliance maker's website to find them.
The biggest buzzkill: you have to keep the interior mirror-clean, and that means going after any spurts and spatters right after the mac 'n' cheese comes out of the oven. According to various testers conducting "real world" situations in which a little food soil is left behind, the performance deteriorates as the walls get dirtier because the halogen cycle depends on both incidental and reflected light. | ||

I believe Caloric also made a gas version of this with convection also in the 80s. | ||
