Merrychef Eikon E3CEE High Speed Oven 13 Amp

The Merrychef Eikon E3CEE is a countertop high speed oven that combines microwave energy with impingement technology to cook, reheat and bake food significantly faster than a conventional oven. The 34.4-litre cavity is large enough to handle a genuine variety of menu items — from pastries and paninis to hot snacks and plated dishes — and the built-in turntable helps deliver consistent browning and even heat distribution throughout the cavity.

In a busy service environment, speed of throughput is often the limiting factor. The E3CEE is designed to close that gap, reducing cook times considerably compared to traditional methods and allowing operators to serve a much higher volume of covers during peak periods without adding oven capacity or extra staff. Recovery between cycles is quick, which matters in environments where orders arrive in bursts rather than a steady stream.

Practical advantages in day-to-day service include:

• Simple icon-driven touchscreen operable by any front-of-house or kitchen staff member with minimal training
• Programmable menu keys that reduce the margin for human error and maintain consistency across shifts
• Compact countertop footprint that fits into tight back-bar or servery layouts
• Temperature range from 100°C to 275°C, giving reasonable flexibility across different food types
• Standard 13 amp plug connection, removing the need for a dedicated electrical circuit or specialist installation

The 13 amp supply requirement is one of the most practical aspects of this oven. It can be positioned wherever a standard socket is available — no three-phase supply, no hardwired connection, no electrician required for a basic installation. That said, ventilation around the unit still needs consideration; the oven generates heat and requires adequate clearance. It is not designed for use with raw protein in high-volume production environments and works best where menu items are consistent and portion sizes are controlled.

The E3CEE is particularly well suited to cafes, hotel bars, convenience stores, quick-service venues and smaller hospitality operations where speed of service matters but full kitchen infrastructure is not in place. For higher-volume sites or operations needing a larger cavity and greater throughput, there are more substantial models in the Merrychef range worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this oven suits your menu, your service volumes or your site setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
