Rapid cooking oven with broadband communication capability to increase ease of use

For use in a cooking device capable of accessing a communications system, a high speed oven for combining hot air impingement cooking and microwave cooking, said high speed oven comprising:

• a cooking chamber;
• a programmable controller for executing program instructions;
• memory media for recording executable program instructions;
• a plurality of cooking energy sources, which are different from one another, which are under control of said programmable controller, and which together provide a data-processing-controlled high speed combination cooking process for food placed in said cooking chamber;
• a plurality of cooking programs recorded in said memory media of said high speed oven, each of said plurality of cooking programs divided into a predetermined duration of states in a cooking cycle which are capable of running for a predetermined percentage of a total cook time, wherein each of said plurality of cooking programs define a plurality of high speed cooking routines for alternating hot air impingement cooking and microwave cooking at fixed increments of capacity for a predetermined time;
• a gateway server communicatively coupled to a plurality of household systems and further communicatively coupled to said programmable controller for managing the communication of digital data content which is at least in-part related to operation and utilization of said high speed oven;
• and
• a broadband communication channel extending from a source of digital data content, which is external to a residence, for delivering particular digital data content to said high speed oven through said gateway server for distribution within said residence including distribution to said programmable controller of said high speed oven in order to facilitate cooking operations utilizing said high speed oven.
