Information about Flashbake

FlashBake is a high tech cooking technology invented in 1993. FlashBake is a registered trademark of Quadlux, Inc., a company from Fremont, California, USA. Quadlux's Flashbake oven cooks with intense infrared and visible light radiation. It can cook like a regular oven with a speed close to that of a microwave oven. This technology is not popular in the home market due to the high price.

This patented technology was licensed to various restaurant equipment suppliers, such as Wolf Stoves and Vulcan-Hart. Other licensees include home appliance manufacturer GE for their Advantium line of oven, and Bosch and Siemens in Europe. Amana developed similar technology for their own WAVE ovens after failing to license the technology from Quadlux. Amana later lost a lawsuit with Quadlux regarding this dispute.

Some high-end products still use the technology, but Quadlux ended production on 1 July 2000 because of production difficulties with the contract manufacturer, Watertown Metal Products. They ceased research and development and dropped to a staff of four. It is unclear as to whether they are still in business.
