Talk:FlashBake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are other products like this, from mainstream manufacturers. General Electric pioneered cooking with halogen light (http://www.geappliances.com/advantium/); at least one other manufacturer uses this technology as well (http://www.kitchenaid.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=390135&prmenbr=136&catname=MicrowaveOvens&sku=KBHC109JSS)
Prices remain high, although GE's smaller unit (the 120) is under $1000.
Another consideration is the power requirements for these units. The minimum power requirement for the halogen cookers is 120V (USA) 20 ampere (and this is for the smallest units); the Kitchenaid unit calls for a 220V, 30A service. This adds to the total implementation cost, and the complexity as well.

- Indeed, GE licensed the FlashBake technology.
Certainly there are other high tech baking methods besides this one. Most commercial baking is high tech of some kind. Why does this one aspect get the whole page? Rmhermen 01:26, Sep 16, 2003 (UTC)
- other examples??? When I shopped for a new oven recently, this was the only high tech option in the market. I don't count convection oven as high tech. A smart idea, but an additional fan shouldn't count as high tech. Kowloonese 07:54, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)

- Vote against. This article was not meant to be advertising because Quadlux Inc. hardly exist nowadays. Since FlashBake is a unique patented technology, you cannot write about it without mentioning a few brand names. If this article should go, then the segway HT article should go for the same reason.

- I moved it to FlashBake, since that's what it seemed to be about. There is no rule against including information about commercial enterprises; such a rule would, of course, be silly. So keep. -- Oliver P. 21:58, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Keep now that it's been moved. -- Jake 06:20, 2003 Sep 21 (UTC)
