Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I think that the advantages of turbo ovens are: * Slightly decreased cook times * Energy efficiency * Portable * Frees up the oven I don't think they speed up cooking too fast or unatural (like a microwave). It surely doesn't fit into a raw food diet, but some people still like to eat their Thanksgiving turkey cooked. I think Mercola highlights one of the benefits - evenly cooked food. Again, it's probably what people want, especially when it comes to turkey. I used to have a turbo oven, but I ended getting rid of it. I found it easier to use my stove/oven for cooking. Dan > > Question about turbo ovens...WAPF and Slow Foods both advocate slow cooking foods, as it causes proteins to gently unwind (more surface area for digestion) and retains the nutrient integrity of the foods. > > Does a turbo oven, even though it doesn't use microwaves, go against the " principle of slowness " ? Does it not affect the integrity of the foods that it cooks? And don't we advocate eating raw and rare meats? Mercola's page says that it cooks more evenly, without burning the outside and reducing undercooked interiors. > > So, I'm confused. Any thoughts? > > ~JK > > > --------------------------------- > FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
