Advanced Features for Precision Cooking

Built with advanced technology, the iQ MiniOven reaches a maximum temperature of 500ºF and utilizes a high-powered DC motor to move air 30% faster than conventional ovens and toaster oven air fryers, enhancing its air-frying capabilities. The convection system ensures even cooking and crisping, delivering consistent, restaurant-quality results.

iQ MiniOven comes equipped with a range of accessories, including a ceramic-coated baking tray, wire rack, air fryer/dehydrator rack, egg tray, and mini glide rack, which offer unmatched versatility for an array of cooking styles. Designed to take the guesswork out of cooking, the iQ MiniOven's illuminated rack lights guide users to optimal rack placements for different dishes. The intuitive digital display and built-in speaker with real-time audible cooking alerts act as a virtual sous chef, ensuring a hassle-free cooking experience.

Seamless Integration with iQ Sense Smart Thermometer

Further revolutionizing the cooking experience, iQ MiniOven is compatible with iQ Sense, CHEF iQ's innovative wireless smart meat thermometer. Paired with iQ MiniOven, iQ Sense allows users to monitor food temperatures in real-time, ensuring proteins are cooked to perfection every time. The system guarantees precise, consistent results and takes the guesswork out of cooking.

Perfect for Busy Lifestyles & Large Meals

iQ MiniOven ensures everyone can prepare home-cooked meals quickly and easily. Designed for modern home cooks, the iQ MiniOven offers rapid heating and remote control access via the CHEF iQ App. No matter what you want to cook, the smart oven will tell you the best time, temperature, pan, rack position, and even start cooking remotely for select cooking functions.

Featuring a 25-quart interior, iQ MiniOven can fit a 13" pizza or a 9" x 13" baking tray while remaining compact enough to live on your countertop. Its spacious interior makes it ideal for roasts, whole chickens, and family-sized meals for larger gatherings.
