Nuwave is TrueWave oven....

I prefer to experiment with a new appliance or gadgets before reviewing. First, I tested the internal temperature on Hi by setting a cup of water on the 2" rack. The highest temp it reached after 10 minutes was 325 degrees. Users should be aware that the food and utensils themselves will increase the temperature. Professional cooks test for doneness with a food thermometer which is the most accurate and safest way to ensure the food is cooked to the degree desired.

1. Large cuts of meat and fowl will retain moisture if cooked fully or partially frozen, or loosely wrapped in aluminum foil. Remove foil during the last 15-30 minutes to brown, if desired.

2. To increase moisture in the oven; eg., for Asian-style barbecued spareribs, add about an inch of water to the liner pan. The grease and drippings will fall into the hot water, making cleanup easier and faster. The extra moisture will prevent burning and dehydration of the food.

3. For faster cooking, use thin disposable aluminum pans. They can be washed and reused. Large cuts of meat and fowl can be partly defrosted in microwave oven; or divide cooking between microwave oven (internal) and Nuwave oven (external).

4. To prevent overbrowning and burning of fowl cooked on 1" rack, cover with a piece of aluminum foil; remove for last 15-30 mins. of cook time. Or, cook at reduced power; eg., 70%, for 75% of the cook time, then switch to HI for the last 25% for browning. Take temperature to test for doneness. A whole bird, for example, should test at 165 degrees in the thickest part of the thigh.

4. Spray or grease racks to prevent sticking.

5. Enjoy baked russet potatoes? Save time; you can bake almost 5 lbs. of small russet potatoes in the Nuwave at once. Use 1" or 2" rack, largest potatoes in center. Bake on Hi. No need to turn, test for doneness. Allow potatoes to cool, wrap well and freeze. To reheat in microwave: wrap potato in paper towel, heat until very hot.

6. To prevent sogginess of crisped foods, remove from oven as soon as desired doneness is reached. Place a piece of aluminum foil in liner pan to catch grease and drippings.

7. Like any other appliance or gadget that cooks with heat, extreme caution should be exercised to prevent burns. Like a microwave oven, the Nuwave oven cooks and bakes with concentrated heat in a small, confined environment. Always lift the dome cover carefully with the open end AWAY from your face and hands. A set of long and short-handled tongs are a must in the kitchen for turning food, pans, and racks.

8. Remember, "suggested cooking times" are just that, "suggested." Many factors affect cooking time: temperature of food, room, size and kind of cooking utensils used (metal, glass, poly, etc.); oven temperature setting, and size and type of food.

Last but not least: What if the center of your food turns out a bit underdone and you don't want to put it back in the Nuwave? Stick it in the microwave oven for a few minutes and test again (but NOT in a metal utensil).

Except for baked potatoes, squash, and casseroles, I do not Nuwave veggies because the microwave oven is faster and less expensive to operate. The beauty of the Nuwave is the convection feature and concentrated heat which retains the natural juices and moisture in the food, similar to commercial restaurant equipment. No more dried out, stringy fowl and roasts. With a little practice and patience, you'll be an expert Nuwaver in no time.

the book's instruction

the books instructions on cooking are totally bogus. cut up chicken is to
be cooked at 170 degrees fahrenheit for 10 minutes on each side. not going to happen. but it does cook at 350 degrees F. maybe 10 mins on ea. side, not sure because i was testing with increasing heat. does cook it tho. good job.

Performance

My wife and I have used the NuWave several times each week since we received it about two months ago. Overall, we've been quite impressed, and it has quickly joined the bread machine and immersion blender as an indispensable kitchen gadget.

The NuWave excels at foods you would normally roast in a conventional oven. Beef and pork roasts and whole poultry brown beautifully and cook quickly, even when frozen. The day we received the oven, we tested it out with frozen Cornish hens and were pleased with how quickly the oven prepared them. We later took the frozen ten-pound turkey challenge and found that the oven nicely browned and cooked the bird (whole, frozen turkey with thighs and wings removed) in about 2 -1/2 hours using the extender ring. (Summers here are fairly hot and muggy, so we were happy to verify the claim that the oven does not significantly heat the kitchen, even when roasting a large bird or roast). The NuWave also does an excellent job with breads and rolls, especially small French baguettes and refrigerated rolls. It works well as a food dehydrator. We got good results drying apricots on the lowest power setting.

Foods which you would normally prepare on the stove or grill do not cook as nicely in the NuWave. Thinner, leaner meats such as chicken breasts, pork chops and fish steaks cook well, but I prefer them grilled or pan-seared. However, the option to quickly cook such meats from frozen is a nice bonus when pressed for time after work. My crème brûlée experiment produced a decent result (on the four inch rack), but I'm not throwing away the blow torch just yet. I wouldn't even think about putting a good steak in the NuWave.

You do have to alter cooking techniques somewhat when using the NuWave, and predicting cooking times takes a bit of practice. Large birds need to be moved around during cooking or tented with foil to achieve even browning. Running frozen meats under cold water for a moment or two allows you to season the exterior and remove any giblet packets. I recommend that you flip through the enclosed cooking guides to get a sense of how to use the oven before discarding the recipes. Also, while the oven is a good size for our family of four, it is probably not large enough to cook for a much larger group.

Customer Service

Our one-inch/four-inch reversible rack contained a manufacturing flaw. A welded seam in the wire making up the grill rungs snapped the second time I used it. I attempted to contact the manufacturer using the email address listed in the manual, but the address is no longer working. I found a working address on the manufacturer's web site, and a representative promptly responded and sent a replacement rack. However, the replacement rack is also defective: The wire "feet" which support the one-inch rack are deformed, causing the rack to rock in the oven. The original rack remains usable, so we'll use it until we find out whether the third time is the charm with Hearthware.

Nuwave is a real awesome cooking machine!!!

This is an amazing product!!! Cooks food fast and yet retains juices and flavor. I have hardly touched the range oven since I've had it. Frozen steak, 15min done medium rare and juicy. I have used it for chicken, steak, fish, bacon, pizza, etc...

Best roast chicken ever

one whole, not frozen, chicken at the highest temperature for one hour and your mouth throws a party for your tongue.
