Advantium[1] is a line of fast-cooking electric ovens for household use sold by General Electric. They use both halogen lamps and microwave energy, either separately or together.[2]
Starting in 1998, the engineering team of Kevin Nolan,[3] Dong Soo Shin, Todd Vincent Graves,[4] Charles Smith, and Royce Hunt designed the original Advantium, which went on sale in 1999, uses 240-volt AC power, and draws up to 25 amperes.[5] It can generally substitute for a conventional oven, a cooktop, and a grill, and cooks between two and eight times as quickly as conventional cooking.[6]
Early models had plastic grills, which were not durable, and tended to snap off from the heat that the noisy fan exhausted into the kitchen.[7] Newer models have stainless steel grills.[8]
The Advantium 120, released in 2001, cooks less quickly, but operates at 120 volts.[9]
