Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven Debuts

Sharp Home Electronics Company of America has announced that its revolutionary Superheated Steam Countertop Oven is changing the way people are thinking about cooking.

“Sharp is committed to making superheated steam cooking more accessible than ever before,” said Jim Sanduski, President, Sharp Home Electronics Company of America. “Teaming up with Best Buy to feature this innovative countertop solution lets us help more customers across the U.S. to benefit from superheated steam cooking.”
The Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven combines superheated steam and conventional, radiant heat in all cooking modes – delivering on consumers’ desire to save time, money and energy. With temperatures up to 485 degrees F, the power of superheated steam allows food to both crisp and brown on the outside while remaining juicy, tender and delicious on the inside.

The powerful, low-profile, pizzeria style, countertop oven is capable of cooking sheet-pan meals for the family, delicate seafood dishes, and even personal pizzas to crisp perfection with 485-degree F superheated steam.

“The entire team is dedicated to promoting Simply Better Living across the U.S., and our new Superheated Steam Countertop Oven represents a new option in cooking that is simple to use, better than the competition, and supports your choice to live a healthier lifestyle,” said Peter Weedfald, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Sharp Electronics Marketing Company of America.

Weedfald says there are five reasons to choose a Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven:

• Not a Traditional Steamer or Steam Oven: Regular steam is just over 212 degrees F. More than twice as hot, 485 degrees F is higher than you would normally roast chicken or bake cookies.
• Instant On. No Preheating. No Defrosting: The low profile and compact cavity heats up very quickly and keeps your food closer to the heating elements for better cooking performance.
• Five Simple and Versatile Cooking Modes: Broil/Grill, Bake/Reheat, Pizza, Warm and Toast.
• Perfect for Sheet Pan Cooking: Each almost 40 percent larger than a standard, quarter size sheet pan.
• The Ultimate, Everyday Cooking Appliance: The Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven will be your everyday oven.

The Superheated Steam Countertop Oven joins Sharp’s premium built-in SuperSteam+™ Built-In Wall Oven leading the way in superheated steam. Sharp has sold over two million superheated steam ovens globally since 2004.

The Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven has an expected retail price of $399. For more information about the Superheated Steam Countertop Oven, visit www.SharpUSA.com.
