Exclusive Control Technology


PowerChef® provides a choice of easy-to-use cooking methods that give you total flexibility and deliver perfect results.


1 - Program Mode
With a few easy steps the electronic controls produce perfect cooking results every time without any guesswork. Program the type of food, thickness and the desired doneness of the food. The control chimes when it's time to flip and time to serve, and in case of no response, it automatically reduces heat to low.
2 - Manual Mode
Cook the old-fashioned way by manually selecting your desired heat output for precise control.
3 - Favorite Recipe Program (Model BPC-2007 only)
Create a custom program to simplify a favorite meal. You can program one of your favorite cooking sequences into your PowerChef; your favorite food cooked to your own specification, automatically every time!


Automatic Power Saver
This feature activates immediately after a pre-programmed selection is finished cooking and "DONE" (Model BPC-2007) or "FINISHED" (Model CBQ-120-ELE) is shown on the display. The cooking system's power will shut off but the display will remain on for up to four hours at which point it will shut off automatically.

Safety Power-off
This feature activates if the unit has been accidentally left on after cooking. The power automatically shuts off to the entire unit four hours after the last button was touched on the control panel.

    Key Lock
Convenient keypad lock prevents accidental changes to your cooking program by locking the control panel when in use.
