Creative Text for The Half Time Oven

The revolutionary, patented Half Time Oven

cooks like a gas or electric oven -- in half the time!

Now, there’s a smart, new oven that delivers high-quality cooking with high speed. It’s the only oven in the world to use Half Time technology by simultaneously combining convection heat with microware energy for great cooking results in half the time…every time! Your old, inefficient microwave is unable to cook like the Half Time Oven, so replace it now, with something so much better.

It cooks, browns, bakes and roasts just like your gas or electric oven but in half the time. Because it saves half the time, it also saves half the electricity. And, because it cooks so quickly, many foods retain more juice and flavor You can taste the difference.

Break the Time Barrier

The intelligent, revolutionary Half Time Oven deliciously cooks, bakes, roasts and browns your favorite foods—in half the time!

Cook Smarter, Faster, Better

Half Time Oven’s secret technology is a covered by 17 patents that combine the speed of a microwave oven with the radiant heat of a traditional oven.

Three Ovens in One

Only the Half Time Oven offers absolute versatility like this:

1. Microwave mode, for speedy reheating

2. Convection mode, for baking, browning and broiling

3. Half Time mode, which uses both microwaves and convection heat simultaneously, to cook mouth-watering dishes in half the time.

Space-Saving, Stylish Design

The same size as many counter top microwave ovens, the Half Time Oven’s sleek design and stainless steel interior make it as easy-to-use as it is attractive.

Good for the Environment & Your Wallet

A recent, independent study proves the Half Time Oven uses half the energy as a conventional oven to cook the same amount of food – and it’s just as delicious!
