The Waring WCO500X is a half-size heavy-duty countertop convection oven for operations that need more pan capacity than a quarter-size unit without moving up to a floor model. It holds up to four half-size sheet pans, offers convection bake, bake, roast and broil, and runs on 120V at 1700 watts through a standard NEMA 5-15P plug.
Half-Size Capacity with Advanced Airflow
The WCO500X uses Waring's advanced airflow design to circulate heated air evenly through the cavity, so four racks of cookies, roasted vegetables or par-baked bread can finish at the same time. Convection typically shortens cook times and improves browning compared with a still oven, which helps a small kitchen get more out of a single countertop appliance.
Because it accepts standard half-size sheet pans, product can move from a prep table or speed rack straight into the oven without re-panning. A 150°F to 500°F thermostat range covers everything from low holding to high-heat roasting, and the double-pane tempered glass door keeps heat in while staff watch the bake.
