With five included cooking modes (Toast, Warm, Pizza, Bake/Reheat and Broil/Grill), the possibilities for nourishing and tasty creations are limitless. For example, proteins like chicken and salmon cook at browning temperatures to a crispy texture on the outside and remain moist, tender, and flavorful on the inside. Most interestingly, the Superheated Steam Countertop Oven takes fresh and frozen pizza to the next level. As a result of the extremely hot temperatures superheated steam is able to reach and conduct, 12" pizzas are cooked to perfection, with a crispy crust, melty cheese and a fresh-from-the-oven texture and aroma. "Sharp remains dedicated to making healthy cooking at home a fun and positive experience for everyone," said Peter Weedfald, senior vice president of sales & marketing, Sharp Electronics Marketing Company of America. "With our new Superheated Steam Countertop Oven, we're showing our commitment to Simply Better Living with a revolutionary new product that is simple to use, better than the competition and creates great-tasting meals for a modern, fast-paced, healthy lifestyle." THE LEADER IN SUPERHEATED STEAM COOKING The Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven features instant-on and is ready to cook, no preheating or defrosting necessary, saving valuable time. Its large, 12.5"x12.5" broiling pan is 39% bigger than a standard quarter-size sheet pan, and the low- profile keeps the heating elements closer to food so it can quickly and easily cook a sheet-pan dinner for the entire family without heating up a full-size oven. With an easy-to-reach, easy-to-refill 6.8 fl. oz. water tank that is good for up to 60 minutes of cooking, the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven's 13.8"x4.6"x14.1" cavity is spacious enough to make up to nine slices of toast or fit a 12" pizza without the mess. Consumers will find the clean-up process to be a breeze, as the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven features a hidden baking element beneath the flat oven floor that wipes clean, and an easy to remove, drip tray that rinses clean.
