Think back to the TV Infomercial about 20 years ago... "JetStream Hot Air Oven! Complete with expander rings and multiple shelves so you can cook and entire meal at one time!" I just took a look and it's newer cousin is still being sold. I couldn't find an image with the expander rings in place, but just imagine this, which is our 15 year old model;
two or three times thicker from the 'expander rings,' so as to be able to accommodate something like a turkey or standing rib roast. Hot air is forced around the food, gives a very dry heat great for making a crispy skin on a chicken or turkey (or in this case, a fish,) or with shelves, being able to cook several different parts of the meal, adding another shelf of food as shorter time requires.
Japanese homes don't have regular built in gas or electric ovens. The only baking that usually gets done here is in a multi-mode microwave/grill/oven. The ones sold here aren't big enough to hold a large turkey or a standing rib roast...
