The GE website does indeed say that their Advantium ovens cook with light.
They don't give the technical details, but these ovens are rated at 30 Amps
so I would guess that they are using very high intensity lamps to do the
cooking. My guess is that they are IR lamps, but I don't know for sure.
Hmmm... I wonder how a sunburned roast tastes.

twittiness:
For example --
From the Dow ad's jingle one learns that Einstein said "just a thought?
What is that all about?
and
From the GE ad one learns that one can cook with "light" in about a
quarter the time as in a regular oven.
What is that all about?
