The Amana 30-Inch Freestanding Electric Range AER5845RA features the manufacturer's TimeSavor Speed Cook oven. Speed cook is a loosely used term in the industry which typically means an oven offers microwave assist. Be aware that that is not the case with this model. While this oven offers a very beneficial convection fan, it is doesn't offer a speed cook setting that is comparable to other similarly named products.

Compare this model instead to freestanding ranges that offer convection. Certainly a great feature, convection encourages faster and more even cooking of foods. It's ideal for turning out moist roasts and poultry and steps up baking capacity to three racks of cookies or muffins over the usual two. While some convection models have a third element and a fan to accomplish this task, the AER5845RA has just the fan. This allows Amana to offer an affordable and desirable alternative to the more expensive "true convection" models. The most convenient thing about this convection oven is its auto-conversion feature. Simply enter a recipe's regular cooking time and temperature and the oven converts it to a convection setting for you.

In addition to an upgraded oven, this model includes a two-position (hi/low) broiler that should be used with the door open. Above the oven you'll find four radiant smoothtop elements and a fifth low-powered element that is convenient for keeping completed dishes warm until serving time. Spacious by any standard, the self-cleaning oven on this range offers 5.3 cubic feet of cooking capacity and a handy lower storage drawer.
