What if your kitchen could serve up gourmet results in half the time, without losing flavor or texture? That’s exactly what the Wolf Speed Oven promises and, in our experience, it delivers. By blending the quick convenience of a microwave with the cooking capabilities of a convection and broil oven, Wolf has created a single appliance that does far more than reheat leftovers.
At BSC Culinary, we’ve seen more San Francisco and Marin County homeowners asking about the Speed Oven as they plan kitchen remodels or downsize to smaller spaces like condos or ADUs. Here’s what makes this little powerhouse so special, and whether it’s the right choice for your kitchen.
What Exactly is a Wolf Speed Oven?
Think of it as a microwave, toaster oven, and second oven in one sleek package. Wolf designed the Speed Oven to combine three cooking technologies: microwave, convection, and broil; either separately or together, depending on what you’re making.
The result is food that cooks significantly faster than a traditional oven but still delivers the browning, crisping, and even heat you’d expect from high-end cooking equipment.
Why It’s More Than “Just a Microwave”
The Wolf Speed Oven isn’t here to simply warm leftovers. It’s built to handle full-on cooking tasks:
- Roast vegetables in a fraction of the time
- Bake muffins or cookies without waiting for a preheat
- Reheat pizza so it stays crisp, not rubbery
- Brown lasagna or gratins with a perfect golden top
- Cook proteins like salmon or chicken to juicy, tender perfection
Essentially, it fills the role of a second oven without requiring extra space. Perfect for smaller kitchens or anyone looking to maximize functionality.
Faster Cooking Without Compromising Quality
Wolf’s Gourmet Mode is a standout feature. Simply choose what you’re cooking (poultry, vegetables, baked goods) and the oven automatically selects the right temperature, rack position, and cooking stages. It even adjusts from high heat to moderate as needed, so results come out evenly browned and perfectly cooked.
Example: A chicken breast that would normally take 30 minutes in a standard oven cooks in under 15 minutes in the Speed Oven. Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside.
Space-Saving Design, Big Performance
At about the same size as a standard microwave or wall oven, the Wolf Speed Oven is designed for modern kitchens where space matters. It’s a perfect fit for:
- Apartments and ADUs
- Minimalist kitchens where every inch counts
- Families who want a second oven without remodeling
You can install it as a standalone appliance or pair it with a Wolf wall oven for maximum flexibility.
User-Friendly Features
Despite its advanced capabilities, the Wolf Speed Oven is refreshingly simple to use. The eight-inch touchscreen interface lays out cooking modes clearly and provides step-by-step instructions. Even if you’re new to induction or convection cooking, it’s incredibly approachable.

Wolf understands that high performance should also look beautiful in your space. The Speed Oven comes in three design styles, so you can match it to your other Wolf appliances or your kitchen’s aesthetic:
