FlashBake

FlashBake is a high tech cooking technology invented in 1993. A company (Quadlux, Inc. from Fremont, CA, USA) made an oven that cooks with intense infrared and visible light radiation. It can cook like a regular oven with speed close to a microwave oven. The new oven is not popular due to its high price.

FlashBake is a registered trademark. This patented technology was licensed to various restaurant equipment suppliers, such as Wolf Stoves and Vulcan-Hart. It was also licensed to home appliance manufacturer GE in their Advantium line of ovens. Bosch & Siemens in Europe was among the licensees also. Amana developed their own WAVE ovens after failure to license the technology from Quadlux. Amana later lost in a law suit with Quadlux regarding this dispute.

Some high end products still use the technology, but it is unknown whether Quadlux, Inc continues to conduct business; its website is no longer online as of 2003.
