Why Trust Spencers Appliance?
More than half of Americans spend at least 30 minutes preparing weeknight meals, with most people spending up to an hour or more cooking on weeknights. This means you can spend three to six hours per week simply making dinner for your family. While home-cooked meals are delicious and allow family members to bond and talk about their days, preparing them can be time-consuming. If you can make your food faster, you can free up more time for activities you enjoy.
There are multiple ways to implement quick cooking in your home. Learn how you can speed up the meal preparation process and explore some appliances that can make heating and crisping your food easier.

5 Appliance Features to Help You Cook Food Faster
It doesn’t matter how quickly you fly through the kitchen. If your appliances are sluggish, cooking for your family will take a long time. If you want to replace these old models, know what features to look for to speed up your cooking process. You want a mixture of power and modern technology so your range works both harder and smarter for you.
- Induction cooking: spend some time learning what is induction cooking and how it works. This is one of the most efficient ways to prepare food.
- Power burners: if you opt to cook on gas, make sure your range has powerful burners that can boil water within a few minutes.
- Air fry capabilities: understand what is air frying and why it is useful. Investing in an air fry oven might be better than buying this appliance separately.
- Convection cooking: look for ovens that use convection heating instead of traditional cooking methods. This is more efficient and faster, which can drive better results.
- Smart technology: you can manage a smart oven from your phone. This allows you to preheat the appliance on your commute and manage the timer and temperature remotely.
Along with looking for faster appliances, look for models that will also help you save time in the clean-up process. For example, opting for a glass-top stove makes cleaning easier than using a coil-based model.
5 Appliances That Help You Cook Food Faster
Even if you are a fast chef who moves through your kitchen with ease, your appliances can still slow you down. If your range or cooktop is wearing out, it might be time to upgrade to a new one. Here are five top range options if you want to cook food faster.
Café™ 30" Stainless Freestanding Induction Range
Café 30in Stainless Induction Range
One of the best ways to prepare food faster is to invest in induction cooking. This is the most efficient way to prepare meals and is quicker than gas or electric options. This particular range by GE Café comes with five heating elements, including two that sync together to heat up a griddle.
The Chef Connect system is also particularly useful for people who are interested in cooking fast. Your ventilation hood will sync with your range and turn on as you raise the power levels. You don’t have to stop cooking just to adjust your ventilation system.
More than 94% of customers would recommend this range to others. One buyer writes, “We have only had our new Café range for a few weeks, but from the first time we used it we were in love. Heat control like a gas range, smooth top like an electric. Cooks quickly and perfectly.”
GE Profile™ 30" Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Slide In Induction Range
GE Profile 30in Stainless Induction Range
GE Profile also has an induction range that you can consider if you are looking for a more affordable option for your home. You can enjoy many of the same features as the Café induction cooktop (because they come from the same parent company) while staying within your budget.
This model is interesting to use because it incorporates touch controls instead of the standard knobs that you see on most ranges. You can control the range settings on your smartphone or manage them directly on the digital control panel itself. Not only is this panel easy to use, but it elevates the look of the appliance and will make your kitchen seem high-end.
You can see what it is like cooking with induction by reading online reviews. One buyer writes, “I did not expect it to rival gas cooktops, but it does and probably beats them…This induction cooktop will boil a gallon of water in 7 minutes.”
Frigidaire Gallery® 30" Stainless Steel Freestanding Induction Range with Air Fry
Frigidaire Gallery 30in Induction Range
Rounding out the list of induction options is this range by Frigidaire. Not only can you enjoy induction cooking with this stovetop, but you can also take advantage of the air fry capabilities in the oven.
Investing in a range with air fry functionality is a great way to cook food faster. You can enjoy crispy wings and French fries without heating up oil or buying a whole separate appliance. Frigidaire’s no-preheat air fry option is also particularly fast because it begins cooking your food immediately. If you work quickly, you can heat up some hot wings during halftime on game day and bite into them before the third-quarter kickoff.
This is considered an affordable induction range with several positive reviews. One customer says, “The induction is incredible! Precision temperature control, instant responsiveness. I love it! The oven also works very well. I bake a lot and so far I have made pies, muffins, cupcakes, cobbler, cookies, and more.”
LG 30" PrintProof™ Stainless Steel Slide-In Gas Range
LG 30in Stainless Slide In Gas Range
You don’t have to use an induction range just because you want to cook food faster. There are plenty of gas models that are just as efficient and allow you to use your favorite fuel source. This appliance by LG is a particular favorite of home cooks who like to prepare meals efficiently.
The InstaView® window is useful if you don’t want to leave the oven light on or open the oven to check on your food. All you have to do is knock on the front and the interior of the appliance lights up. The UltraHeat™ power burner operates at a maximum level of 20,000 BTU so you can boil water within minutes.
Buyers from all walks of life rave about this range. One person writes, “This is really a wonderful range! I absolutely love the cobalt blue oven interior. It is gorgeous!”
Samsung 30" Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Smart Freestanding Gas Range
Samsung 30in Smart Freestanding Gas Range
Rounding out the list of top appliances to help you cook faster is this gas range by Samsung. It is a smart range that allows you to control over oven from your mobile device. This allows you to preheat your oven on your way home or manage the timer and temperature in other rooms. If you work from home, you can heat up your lunch before noon and receive a mobile alert when it is ready.
Along with Wi-Fi connectivity, there are plenty of other features that stand out with this appliance. You can learn more about these key elements by reading customer reviews. One person says, “The features on this stove added up to it being my dream stove. From the fifth burner with the optional griddle to the convection and air fry features, it did not disappoint! I especially liked the ability to proof bread and the dehydrator, which we used to make beef and turkey jerky.”
FAQ
How can I save time cooking with my range?
Pay attention to the settings on your range so you use them efficiently. For example, actually preheating your oven can save up to 10 minutes in some cases. There also might be some advanced features that boil water or broil your food fast. If your range is still too slow, consider upgrading to an induction stovetop and a convection oven cooking system.
How can I increase my cooking speed?
There are many ways to increase your cooking speed. You can prepare your vegetables and meat ahead of time so everything is ready to heat up. You can take advantage of oven preheating and rapid boil features on your range. The goal isn’t necessarily to move faster but to know what needs to be done ahead of time.
How do chefs cook so quickly?
Chefs are professionals who do the same hand motions and movements throughout the day. Years of practice allow them to work quickly and efficiently. Chefs also cook quickly because many of the ingredients are prepared ahead of time – the meat is already marinated and the onion is diced – so they can focus on the assembly process.
